The Cadillac Eldorado was the flagship offering of Cadillac, America’s most famous luxury automaker to this day. Made over twelve generations, the Eldorado’s production run started in 1953 and finally bid adieu to the world in 2002. Envisioned to be a two-door personal luxury car, the Eldorado is widely popularized as the vehicle that resulted in the coining of the term “Land Yacht”. Just cast your eyes upon this 31,898-mile, ninth generation 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible and you’ll see why. Stretching at over 224 inches long and taking up almost 80 inches of road width, it’s truly an imposing, hulking beast. Its engine is no less impressive, because Cadillac’s answer to the stranglehold of the Malaise Era was to simply upsize the cubic inch capacity to commercial vehicle level numbers. Now, you can have your very own Land Yacht, as this reportedly all-original car is up for sale in Topanga, California.
A Land Yacht looks best in a light color such as the cream shade worn by this 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible. You’ve got to stand next to this car to truly appreciate its sheer size, as well as its trimming such as chrome bumpers, quad headlamps, new whitewall tires, and of course, its power-operated tan convertible top. With the top down, you can see the frameless design of the doors, as well as the lightly tinted windows that help cut down on the sun entering the cabin and roasting the occupants. However, roasting of occupants won’t be much of a concern in this 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible, as the car comes with factory air conditioning. Then, you’ll find power windows, power front seats, power door locks and cruise control. The seats themselves are covered in plush beige leather and have that sink in and get lost feeling. You’ve also got plenty of wood trim because nothing signals top-tier luxury like wood in a car. Once again, you can see the nautical theme re-emerging. This car also enjoys an aftermarket Bluetooth radio, so you can fire up your modern tunes via your streaming service of choice.
We said that Caddy’s answer to the Malaise Era was to simply up the engine’s cubic inch capacity. How high, you ask? Well, this 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible uses a 500ci V8 under that massive hood. Just for comparison sake, that’s larger than the engine that the Dodge Viper launched with, nearly two decades later. This 500ci V8 was exclusive to the Eldorado for much of its production, and 1976 was the last year that it was offered in. Power output may have been around 200hp due to the Malaise Era, but torque was over 350lb-ft. Power goes to the rear wheels through an automatic gearbox.

Cadillac’s Eldorado was born in 1952 as a personal luxury car. Since then, it sat at or near the top of Caddy’s hierarchy and was produced until 2002 across twelve generations. Today, it’s the quintessential classic Cadillac, and even Generation Alpha might have heard of it from their grandparents or parents. Yes, these cars were aspirational to many hard-working Americans who, one day, envisioned themselves treating their family to an Eldorado. Today, we have a 1974 Cadillac Eldorado for sale from Louisville, Kentucky. This all-original car comes with a super massive V8 under the hood and just 71,471 miles under its belt. So, it’s an excellent buy for a discerning collector to own and, most importantly, drive. After all, these cars love the open road.
Cadillac’s most popular model has got to be the Eldorado. Introduced in 1952, it enjoyed a fantastic fifty-year production run across twelve generations. The name Eldorado is inspired, as you may guess, by the Spanish term, and means ‘The Gilded One’. It’s also based on the Colombian lost city of Gold, namely El Dorado. With such nomenclature, you’d expect the Eldorado to be something, and those who have sampled one wholeheartedly agree that it could be the defining feature of Cadillac’s brand proposition. Today’s 1984 Cadillac Eldorado comes from Greensboro, North Carolina and has covered under 51,000 miles to date. It’s a fine tenth generation example, and a perfect embodiment of the Eighties as a result.
This fully restored 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz is a prime example of luxury and elegance from the pinnacle of 1980s American automotive design. With only 53,000 original miles, this stunning coupe offers both pristine condition and authenticity. Powered by Cadillac’s refined 4.1L V8 engine and finished in an eye-catching red exterior over an equally luxurious red interior, it effortlessly blends vintage charm with modern touches such as Bluetooth radio connectivity.
The Cadillac de Ville series is a full-size luxury car from Cadillac, made between 1958 and 2005 across eight generations. The term de Ville means “of the town”, indicating that Cadillac intended the model to become the talk of the town, literally. Offered in sedan, coupe and convertible forms, early generations are renowned for their flamboyant styling. Take this second generation 1963 Cadillac Coupe de Ville as a prime example. With a 390 under the hood and a lovely Nevada Silver paint job, this machine awaits a new owner in Santa Rosa, California. Grab it while you can because cars like this don’t stay on the market for long.
Based on a Corvette although you’d never guess by merely looking at it, the Cadillac XLR was a two-door luxury grand tourer made between 2003 and 2009. It came with a Northstar V8 under the hood, a power-retractable roof, an instrument cluster designed Bulgari, and all the luxury trappings you’d expect for something from Cadillac. While sales were modest, with just over 15,400 units sold during its time, the XLR is now becoming a future classic of sorts. It’s modern enough to drive in 2025, yet has that sort of lasting aura that ensures it will be around even in two or three decades time if maintained correctly. So, we’ve got a 2007 Cadillac XLR-V for sale from Andalusia, Alabama if you feel that an XLR belongs in your life. This particular car is particularly appealing because of its mileage of just 24,000!
Cadillac’s full-size luxury sedan for twenty years, the Fleetwood served as the pinnacle offering from this iconic American luxury automaker between 1976 and 1996. The actual origins of Fleetwood are hazy, as it was used as a trim line on other Cadillacs since 1935, since Fleetwood was actually a coachbuilder who built bodies for automakers, most notably, Cadillac. The first proper Fleetwood model was actually front-wheel drive, with the second generation switching to rear-wheel drive. However, the Fleetwood Brougham remained rear-wheel drive, as is this 1986 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham from Ford Collins, Colorado. The car has got a 307 under the hood, and just over 25,000 miles on the clock.
In 1953, Chevrolet introduced a car that would shake up the American sports car market. Yes, the Corvette was born that year. With breathtaking styling by Harley Earl, this iconic sports car initially came with a six-cylinder engine that was definitely unsuitable for such an amazing piece of automotive art and mechanical excellence. So, Chevy rectified the mistake by 1955 with the introduction of the Small-Block V8. Initially displacing 265ci, it grew to a 327ci unit by 1962. That’s what we have in this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette, with its 327ci V8 that packs dual quad carburetors and a reported output of 400 horseower. This Washington-based car also comes with its original interior, as well as original Corvette wheels. If you want a special classic Corvette that’s definitely going to be valuable for years to come, talk to us right now.
