Throughout the 20th century, Cadillac remained the undisputed leader of the American luxury car market. Having produced, during the early 1970s, some of the largest passenger vehicles ever, Cadillac and the American public were preparing for a major downsizing, both dimensionally and mechanically.

1976 would be the last year for the massive 500-cid V-8 driving the front wheels of the equally huge 5,100-pound car. Cadillac Eldorado continued this tradition of the “large” Cadillac which was soon to disappear. A unique, luxurious driving experience was offered by these “personal convertible coupes” with smooth power delivery and amazing body control for such a large automobile.

This green with white interior Eldorado Convertible has been totally restored and was just completed in early 2014. This model runs with a 500-cid V-8 engine with an automatic transmission in a front-wheel drive platform. The car has new carpet, new exhaust, new tires and new brakes, along with a restored interior. Among the equipment are air conditioning; power top, windows, steering, seats, door locks and four-wheel disc brakes.
