From 1953 to 2002, the Eldorado represented the pinnacle of luxury in Cadillac's inimitable style. Named after the mythical golden city of Lost Gold or 'El Dorado,' you can imagine what Cadillac's positioning strategy was. The fourth generation is arguably the most prolific, but later generation vehicles, such as this ninth-generation 1974 Cadillac Eldorado, continued to be formidable land yachts that wafted their lucky owners in peaceful comfort under V8 power. This car features just 38,155 miles on the clock and awaits its next lucky owner.
The red paint job, white-striped tires, chrome hubcaps, and dainty 'Eldorado' script all embody the spirit this 1974 Cadillac Eldorado boasts in spades. It's a convertible, too, with a powered tan convertible top. The front features quad headlamps with chrome surrounds, a quintessential Seventies icon. Moving to the rear, you'll notice the long and flowing trunk boasting a power trunk release. By now, you'll probably glean that the average Eldorado owner didn't want to expend energy on mundane tasks. With the top dropped, you really appreciate how long this car is; for those interested, it measures just over 224 inches from tip to tail. Inside, you'll be treated to a white leather-trimmed interior with plush seats for four adults and plenty of wood trim. Creature comforts include power-adjustable seats, power windows, power mirrors, and climate control. We also observe an 8-track AM/FM stereo with 'Captain & Tennille's Greatest Hits' that's reportedly functional, so you can enjoy a period rendition of 'Do That To Me One More Time' if that's your thing. For those seeking a bit more modernity, the current owner reports that an aftermarket Bluetooth-capable head unit is also in place.
A V8 powers this 1974 Cadillac Eldorado, and it's a monstrous 500ci unit. However, the Malaise Era had taken a firm grip over the American automobile market by 1974. This means that the V8's once-potent output was strangled to a mere 205 horsepower. Torque stood at a respectable 380lb-ft at just 2,400rpm, enabling you to keep up with the traffic as the 3-speed automatic transmission sent the power to the front wheels. Yes, this car is front-wheel-drive, and boasts power front disc brakes to help bring all that mass to a halt.

The Cadillac Eldorado is a well-known luxury car from renowned American automaker Cadillac. In fact, the brand itself has become the representation of American luxury vehicles. When it debuted in 1952, the Eldorado was a full-size luxury car, and continued for fifty years, across twelve generations. With its sizable dimensions, comfortable interior and the latest technological innovations of the time, it’s no surprise that the Eldorado was an aspirational item for many. So, you can imagine how the first owner of this ninth generation 1975 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible must have felt when they went to receive their brand-new Cadillac. Now, the car has done 87,000 miles, and comes to you with a few refurbishments to keep it running at its peak. So why not acquire this quintessential Seventies Land Yacht as your next (or first) classic car?
Manufactured by Cadillac, the Eldorado spanned over twelve generations from 1952 to 2002. It was marketed as at or near the top of the Cadillac lineup, with the first generation Eldorado Brougham models being the most expensive models offered by Cadillac. However, the Eldorado was radically redesigned for 1967 as a front wheel drive hardtop coupe like the one we have for sale today in Ong, Nebraska, clocking a mere 27,000 miles on the odometer. It became Cadillac’s entry in the burgeoning personal luxury car market, sharing the E-body with the second generation Buick Riviera and the first generation Oldsmobile Toronado. When it comes to our featured car, it's reported that all servicing and maintenance has been kept up to date with a brand new set of white wall tires on this 1967 Cadillac Eldorado while also being kept mostly original apart from a few minor modifications such as the new Holley Sniper fuel injection system and the front headlights having received an electric conversion.
Creativity and style are the perfect recipe for standing out, and no one does this better than a classic American motor. Packed with personality and style, cars like this 1968 Cadillac Eldorado make for machines that make their custodian feel special. Get behind the wheel of this classic cruiser, stand out from the crowd, and cruise in style on your weekend drives.
Among those who enjoy driving about in good-looking cars, there is a small group who prefer the look of a mundane car with a classic historic flare. If that is your cup of tea, this 1993 Cadillac Allante is an excellent choice for you. While it blends well with day-to-day traffic, it boasts a stately personality. After all, it is a Cadillac. It was marketed as a two-seater luxury roadster, so it looks even classy with its top down. The Allante model saw a seven-year production run and the bodies were built in Italy by iconic coachbuilder Pininfarina. Our subject example only has 65,000 miles on its clock and is currently residing in Florida. Its owner claims that it comes with 3 keys and all the service is up to date.
The Cadillac De Ville was introduced in 1958, as a full-size luxury car from America’s top luxury automaker at the time. De Ville means “of the town” in French, meaning that Cadillac intended the De Ville to be the talk of the town. The first generation is the most popular, naturally, thanks to its iconic shape and rear fins. In 1961, the second generation was introduced, with fresh styling and more body styles. Buyers could now pick from a four-door hardtop with four or six windows, a 2-door hardtop, or a 2-door convertible. If you’ve been trying to get your hands on a De Ville, check out this 56,435-mile 1964 Cadillac De Ville Sedan that’s up for sale right now. The current owner reports it to have been restored, hence its pristine appearance.
The De Ville name was first introduced as a standalone model range in 1959 and would remain a significant part of the Cadillac lineup up till 2005. The 4th generation came in 1971, and every subsequent year brought styling changes until the smaller 5th generation was released in 1977. 1974 brought changes to the front end (like a new grille and a new headlamp layout), and the introduction of a new option; the Air Cushion Restraint System (what is now known as airbags) for both front-seat occupants. It was, however, a costly option that didn’t prove popular among buyers and was discontinued after 1976. A 1971 Coupe De Ville reportedly came 3rd in the Cannonball Run, averaging 84.6mph and 8.9mpg.
The Plymouth Barracuda needs no introduction to fans of the muscle car genre. By 1970 the model was in its third generation and was now based on the E-Body. It may have shared its underpinnings with the Dodge Challenger, but the sheet metal was completely different. Our featured car has been treated to an end-to-end restoration, with the owner reporting a new paint job, new engine, and new transmission. The motor itself has been upgraded with a Blueprint 408ci stroker engine in place, and there’s a host of other tasty upgrades that separate this 1970 Plymouth Barracuda from the herd.
There are few cars that are as well known as the Pontiac GTO. The first GTO arguably created the muscle car genre, but this, the second generation, helped define the segment for years to come. The 1968 Pontiac GTO won MotorTrend’s Car of the Year award, and it’s not hard to see why. Here was a car that packed enormous power into a beautiful bodyshell, and with an affordable price tag. Our featured car mixes things up with a new riff on this classic. Instead of the old-school 6.6-liter V8, you’ll find a more modern 5.3-liter Chevy LS engine under the hood. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this 1968 Pontiac GTO restoration.
Based on the fourth-generation Dodge Dart, the Swinger was a novel concept. By its fourth generation, the Dodge Dart was considered a compact (or senior compact in marketing speak) car. So the Swinger was, in many ways, a mini-Muscle car, targeted at those who loved performance, but who were perhaps on a tighter budget than others. This resulted in a smaller car, with just as much power as many of its bigger brothers. The car we’re featuring here is powered by a 318ci V8 engine. The owner reports that this is one rare gem, with the car having an original mileage of 98,000 miles. It features a host of new parts, including a new interior.
