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; 14,000 similar examples were built during this model year. 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 elegantly colored and beautiful Sable Black with burgundy interior Eldorado Convertible is reported as a “very original car” with approximately 25,000 miles that are stated as actual. It is further said to be in excellent condition with its original black paint and burgundy leather interior and a new black power-operated soft-top. Just as the majority were during the 1976 model year, this is a well-optioned car, including having its original AM/FM radio and black fiberglass parade boot. Among the equipment are air conditioning; power windows, steering, seats, door locks and four-wheel disc brakes.

The Eldorado has been extremely well-maintained in a prestigious east coast collection. It is quite reliable as demonstrated by being used the last years to make several 250 mile round trips to the beach. It is touted as being a “great driver” while you and the car look equally stylish and at ease on your next journey.
