1975 Cadillac Eldorado In west Philadelphia born and raised, on the playground was where I spent most of my days. Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool.... And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school. When a couple of guys who were up to no good, started making trouble in my neighborhood. I got in one little fight and my mom got scared... she said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'. For consignment a summation of mid-seventies design and style. An amalgamation of big steel and Monticello velour that will make your eyes spin and hide any stain you can think of. So, whether you're pimpin' or limping', killing' or chillin' this big and bad Caddy will certainly have you stylin'. A one owner car with an amazing 29,290 original verified miles, and temperature-controlled garage kept since 1987. Exterior Cerise Firemist drapes rust free steel panels and is original paint. A minor dent in the front quarter is mostly the only fault on the car. Bumper fillers have been replaced and show slightly darker than the remainder of the body. The rest of the body trimmings is all nice chrome and brite-work with no rust or dimpling to be seen. A white vinyl hardtop nearly perfectly preserved tops this piece of Detroit iron off. On all 4 corners are new thin whitewall tires as well as a new spare. Interior Just unbelievably crazy in Dark Crimson Monticello velour broadcloth covers all seats. These couches are powered on the drivers and passengers' sides. Red plastic surrounds envelop the cloth, and all of this is in fantastic condition. A bolster pillow is thrown in with the rear bench and my mind runs as wild as the pattern as to what to do with this! Beautiful thick pile red carpet floods the floors and hanging above in front is the all original red padded vinyl dash with highlighting wood appliqu instrument surrounds. A red original no cracks or even dirt on steering wheel fronts the dash. On the red vinyl covered door panels we note power window toggles, power locks, and a side mirror toggle. Above all this menagerie is a tight red headliner. Drivetrain With myself and 2 other dedicated Classic Auto Mall employees we lifted the hood (I'm being facetious) and we were met with 500 cubes of GM V8 in unrestored condition. Some rust and corrosion is seen on all parts where the exterior and interior has fared better than the engine. However, it runs fab, has a 4-barrel carb atop, a THM-425 3-speed automatic on back with a 2.73 axle. Undercarriage Plenty of surface rust abounds but all remains structurally sound. Floor pans are mostly rust free as are rockers. A newer exhaust system has been installed. Torsion bar suspension provides the ride for the front, and 4 link with coil springs for the rear. Power disc brakes are also on the front and power drum brakes on the rear. Drive-Ability I felt like a mafia kingpin on top of the world upon slipping into this large and in charge automobile. The car started right up, idled with a whisper, and shifted into gear effortlessly. It is a wonderful cruiser and has good acceleration. All the trappings of conveniences which abound in this car were in working order. Dripping with mid 70's styling and color, this 1 owner automobile still puts out on the luxury and style it was built to do. A great boulevard cruiser, impressive conveniences, and low miles, a classic in its own right. It actually grows on you. Come to Classic Auto Mall and see if a seed gets planted.
