Cadillac’s Eldorado model was introduced in 1952 as the brand’s entrant into the personal luxury car segment. Twelve generations were produced during a fifty-year production run that ended in 2002. Whilst the Eldorado was a rear-wheel-drive vehicle from inception, 1967 was a watershed year that saw drive sent to the front wheels, a trait that stayed all the way until the end. Named after the Spanish words for ‘the gilded one, here’s a 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible from the tenth generation up for sale. It’s a first-owner car that’s got just 2,500 miles on it, making this Florida-based, garage-kept car not only a great classic but a savvy future investment too. Receipts for all work done on it are provided with the sale.
Whilst the tenth generation of the Eldorado was a rebadged Buick Riviera / Oldsmobile Toronado, this didn’t stop it from setting a sales record in 1984 of 77,806 units, which amounted to over a quarter of Cadillac sales that year. This 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible wears a clean white paint job that’s reportedly in good shape, and sports a matching white convertible top, with convertible top boot included in the sale. It’s got a set of lovely wire-spoke wheels to match the Grand Touring ethos, and the spare wheel is mounted at the rear, Continental-style. All brightwork looks to be present and correct in good condition as well. The interior is also white with lashings of wood trim and offers seating for four occupants on plush upholstered leather seats. Reportedly in good shape, the original fittings appear to be present, including the power windows, electronic gauge cluster, and electronic climate control. A Sony radio/CD head unit from a slightly later era constitutes the musical options on offer.
The tenth generation Eldorado came with a choice of V6 and V8 engines that ranged from 4.1L to 6.0L. 1982 saw the introduction of a new 4.1L “High Technology” V8 which is what this 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible is endowed with. This engine put out 125hp to the front wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission with electronic overdrive, enabling a top speed of 106mph when new. Engine tune-up work has reportedly been recently conducted on this car.
