1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible

Description

Here's exactly what you want in a big cruising convertible: a cool 1976 Cadillac Eldorado droptop with a big 500ci V8, great color combo, a custom/comfy interior, and cold-blowing air conditioning. So when it's all available at an obtainable price, you know this is the right opportunity.

1976 shut the door on the traditional American convertible that was big, roomy, and floated over the road in complete comfort. That legacy is why a Caddy like this, that's approaching its 45th birthday, is still in such attractive condition. The factory-correct Amberlite Firemist has been given a professional respray later in life, and that means you get a sunshine-friendly gloss that loves a sunny day cruise. Plus, a Cadillac is great for brightwork, and this one shows that there has been the right care here with bumpers that have a mirror-like finish. The whole car is complete right down to the factory hubcaps w/color-matched inserts. In fact, you'll really love the details. The end caps are complete and crisp, and the beige pinstripe is a subtle application that provides a mid-point color between the paint and light beige roof. And speaking of the roof, take note of its color.

With the flip of a switch, the top powers down, and you see that the interior and roof are the same color. So this one offers a nicely coordinated look no matter if you have the top up or down. As you look closer, you'll see this is a custom upholstery done later in life. It has tasteful tan piping and a supple ultraleather feel. The interior has the kind of luxury that made these Cadillacs so special when new, and that's exceptionally desirable today. After all, these are the features that you would even want on a brand new car, such as power windows, power locks, power seat, cruise control, and a tilt steering column. There are great classic details, like the working AM/FM 8-track stereo. But the most important one in a convertible, the factory air conditioning, has been upgraded to blow cold with modern R134a.

A Cadillac is a cool cruiser, and there's a lot going on beneath the metal. Just as this was promoted as the last American convertible, 1976 was the last year for the monstrous 500 cubic-inch V8 motor. So it's great to have the numbers-matching engine still under the hood, and this important powerplant is looking exceptionally stock. Emissions regulations of that era had taken out some of the horsepower, but this Caddy has no trouble moving because it still makes about as much torque as a modern V8 Chevy truck! The cruising attitude is heightened by a smooth-shifting three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes with discs at all four corners - the first and only year for this feature on Eldorado convertibles. And just as you'd expect from a Cadillac, the full package is still an easy and comfortable cruiser today.

This legend is big on space, big on torque, and big on luxury. The only thing small about this Caddy is the price. Call today!!!
