The 1976 Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado is probably best remembered as being the last American production model to offer a convertible body style. The final Eldorado Convertible was built on April 21, 1976. At the time, most believed there would likely never be another American convertible, but Chrysler introduced a LeBaron Convertible in 1982 and the Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible was introduced in 1984, so reports of the convertible's retirement were premature. Originally advertised as the "only convertible built in America," the Cadillac Eldorado was sold as a legend-to-be and remains one today. Lifelong Cadillac owners lined up to buy the nearly 19 foot long luxury convertible. At the time, if you wanted personal luxury with the exhilaration of top down driving, you had one last chance to buy an Eldorado Convertible. Powered by a 500-cid, 190-hp V-8 engine, 1976 would be the last year of the largest engine to power a production Cadillac. Among the many standard features on this desirable Eldorado is front wheel drive, four-wheel disc-brakes, power top, windows, six-way seat, door locks, AM/FM radio with power antenna, numerous lighting elements along with all of the luxury amenities that one expects and demands from an automobile of this stature.

With just 4,100 miles from new, this 1976 Eldorado Convertible includes leather interior and is offered complete with documentation. It is a great example of the end of the line for the full-size Eldorado production model.
