Up for sale at Gateway Classic Cars of Houston is this very well taken care of 1976 Cadillac El Dorado. The Cadillac El Dorado was first manufactured in the 1950's and stopped around the 2002's. The name El Dorado in Spanish translates to "The Glided One", which is a very cool fact, since this thing rides like boat, smooth and comfortable. It was also named "The Last American Convertible" which really wasn't but at that time Cadillac didn't have any plans for anymore convertibles. One of the main things that stand out is the very long front end but believe it or not, it wasn't one of the longest cars Cadillac had. In fact the El Dorado was 6 inches shorter than a contemporary full-sized Cadillac. Under the hood of this luxurious Cadillac is a 500 CID V8 8.2L,with only 40,893 original miles! This engine is pulling with 190 HP from factory. Backing this 500 is a "425 series" Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission. The El Dorado came pretty much fully loaded with power brakes with self adjusting feature, power steering, power windows, power locks, power convertible top, am/fm radio all original, Cold AC, heater, cruise control, tilt wheel and all numbers matching! This one also comes with both plastic and fiber glass tonneau covers for a cleaner look. Come check out more photos of this Cadillac El Dorado and a detailed HD video of the whole car running and driving.
