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”.
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.
