Cadillac is America’s luxury car brand, and among the oldest automakers in the world. No surprise, given that it was founded way back in 1902 and recently celebrated its 119th birthday. A General Motors brand, Cadillac was surfing on a wave of popularity and exclusivity in the Fifties and Sixties with models such as the Eldorado. Curiously, the name is sometimes misrepresented as El Dorado, when in fact it is one word, with a lowercase D. This misrepresentation is due to the fact that the name is derived from the mystical South American city of El Dorado. The Eldorado was introduced in 1953 and carried on all the way up to 2002, across eleven generations. The first generation ran for only one model year, before the second generation took over the mantle and ran between 1954 and 1956. We have a 1955 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible up for sale, from Hawaii with just 10,000 miles on the odometer since the reportedly matching-numbers engine and transmission were rebuilt. It’s said to have undergone a full frame-off restoration and is supposed to be 1 of only 1,085 that were built in 1955. It comes with the original keys, as well as photos, receipts, and documentation for the restoration.
This 1955 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible is reported to have originally been white, before being painted in this stunning shade of black during the restoration. It rolls on period-correct wheels with new tires that have less than 100 miles on them. The chrome bits were re-chromed in 2007. It’s a convertible, with a power-operated white colored top that received a new hydraulic mechanism and lift rods during the restoration. It’s also got the parade boot for the convertible top. The interior has retained its red color scheme and was re-upholstered and re-carpeted during the restoration. It’s got power windows, power seats and power antenna which feeds a modern AM/FM/Bluetooth unit from Pioneer for modern tunes. The original radio is included in the sale as well.
The Eldorado had to have V8 power, as anything less simply wouldn’t cut it for GM’s pinnacle personal luxury car. In fact, the eighth generation peaked with a monster 500ci (8.2L) V8 before a V6 came into being for the ninth generation. The second generation came with two V8s, and this 1955 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible has the smaller 331ci (5.4L) overhead valve V8 that drives the rear wheels via a four-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Power steering and power brakes round off the package. Apart from the aforementioned rebuild of the numbers-matching motor and transmission, it’s also received a new battery, starter, generator, fuel tank, wiring and had its carburetor recently replaced with a tune-up for good measure. The owner reports that it’s “straight as an arrow, straighter than it left the factory”.
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.
