It's hard not to fall in love with a grand coupe like this 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Fleetwood. This is true classic luxury cruising presented in its original bold colors, plenty of great luxury features, and the massive and original 500ci V8 under the hood. The design lines of this generation Eldorado are ones of a legend. It's a true statement of personal luxury with the extra long hood that begins a crease line that runs uninterrupted through the doors, until it reaches the sporty rear kick-up. Claret Metallic is a great factory-correct color to have because it looks timelessly elegant. And there were even some updates to make sure it stays looking glossy in the sunshine. But it's more than just that paint that really gives this the elegant classic Caddy feeling. Bright chrome bumpers, a complete and intricate grille, turbine-style wheel covers, and color-coordinated half-vinyl roof are all part of a correct and stylish package. We know you love the little touches, like how the pinstripe is a preview of the interior. The white leather interior appears highly original. It looks quite nice, which is what you get on a classic that has averaged less than 1,700 miles annually. There's plenty of space for family and friends to spread out, but with an individual armrest and power seats, you really get to dial-in the individual comfort. This has the kind of luxury that made these Cadillacs so special when new, and it keeps them exceptionally desirable today. So you get power windows, power locks, cruise control, tilt steering wheel, auto-dim headlights, and the original AM/FM 8-track stereo. The automatic climate control has even been upgraded to R134a air conditioning, so you can truly continue to cruise in comfort. 1976 was the last year for the monstrous 500 cubic-inch V8 motor. Because this coupe has been about authenticity so much already, it should be no surprise that this is a numbers matching car. Emission regulations of that era had started to take out some of the horsepower, but this Caddy has no trouble moving because it still makes about as much torque as a modern V8 Chevy truck! The cruising attitude is heightened by a smooth-shifting three-speed automatic transmission, and a ride that can only come from a classic Caddy. Add in power steering and disc brakes at all four corners, and this is a classic that's capable of taking on the modern world. Complete with owner's manual, this is complete vintage luxury at an affordable price. Don't let this special Caddy slip away, call today!
