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 boat sized convertible cruiser and in fact, adillac had never built a Cadillac convertible of this size and most likely will never build one again. Cars have since shrunk in size and the idea of rolling down the street in a living-room-equipped vehicle outfitted with a 500 CI motor became a thing of the past. In terms of cruisers, here are not many comparables available today.Finished in Firethorn Metallic over a Red interior, his 1976 Cadillac Eldorado has traveled just over 33,192 miles and had 2 owners since new but always been in the family .The body of the car is in excellent condition and has benefited from lifelong garage storage and fair-weather driving. There has never been any active rust on the car so the panels remain free from unsightly repairs due to corrosion, he panel between the back convertible window and the truck lid was hand mixed paint and repainted due to oxidation that would not buff out. There is a factory floor mat that was replaced as well as the hub caps have had the black repainted. The black was buffed off when new as the father in law only wanted chrome. Once he passed we had them repainted back to the way it rolled of the show room floor. The chrome on the Eldorado is original and has been well kept and the trim is excellent as well. The top on the car is the original convertible top and its high quality speaks to how well this Cadillac has been kept throughout the years, here is one slight tear in the back right hand corner that is visible in pictures. This car was bought new at Kindler Pontiac - Cadillac of Sioux Falls on 4-2-76 with 17 milesThe pictures speak for themselvesI reserve the right to end this auction at anytime as it is for sale locally as well.Call Austin with any other questions605-941-7560
