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 was 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 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.

The 1976 Eldorado Coupe offered here is a restored example that has had approximately $15,000 invested in its restoration, and this is documented through receipts and confirmed in an independently sourced $30,000 appraisal for the vehicle.

Displaying a red-tone exterior finish with tan leather upholstery and a tan power-operated soft-top and pinstripes; the Eldorado is accented by exceptional brightwork, while the engine bay is equally impressive. The Eldorado is well equipped with a multitude of comfort and convenience items including an AM/FM radio, cruise control, the automatic headlamp control and a tilt steering wheel. Power features include the brakes, door locks, front seat, steering and windows.

In period, this was the finest American convertible yet to be built. With its unique combination of front-wheel drive and four-wheel disc brakes, plus a host of standard features that would be options on most cars – Cadillac definitely saved their best for last.
