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.
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.
This 2018 Cadillac CTS-V combines supercharged V8 performance with premium luxury features, creating one of the most compelling American super sedans of its era. Powered by the 640-hp LT4 engine and paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission, the CTS-V delivers exceptional acceleration and high-speed stability while remaining comfortable enough for daily use. This example is finished in Crystal White Tricoat and optioned with the V-Series Preferred Equipment Group, Luxury Package, polished 19-inch wheels, Recaro performance seats, and several interior comfort features, making it both highly equipped and performance-focused. Altogether, it offers a distinctive balance of refinement, technology, and track-ready capability.
A Brougham is a horse-drawn carriage, named by a British politician and jurist named Lord Henry Brougham. One of the most luxurious ways to travel in the horse-and-cart era, it’s no surprise that Cadillac boldly used the name for their full-size luxury car lineup in 1987. Sadly, the Brougham would see just five years of production before being discontinued in 1992, replaced by the arguably less cool-sounding Fleetwood. Yes, Fleetwood is nice but no follow-up to Brougham. How do you pronounce it, anyways? We’ll leave you to ponder that as you take on this 1988 Cadillac Brougham from Smithville, Texas. With 63,000 miles on the clock, this old-school American luxobarge could be yours! It’s got a repainted deck lid and hood, and come s with the owners manual included in the sale too.
Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability. With its matching-numbers big-block, correct Turbo 400 transmission, and period-authentic Holley 4346 carburetor, this Camaro is the perfect blend of raw 1960s muscle and expert craftsmanship.
Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.
Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
