Cadillac Eldorado 1976 is a car that embodies luxury and technical capabilities of its time. Recently, one of these rare copies has been put up for $ 58,000 for sale. This is much higher than the average cost of such cars, which is usually 2-2.5 times cheaper. However, this price is justified because this Cadillac is a real "time capsule" with a mileage of only 475 km.
Today it looks almost as a new one, which makes it a valuable object for collectors. A few years ago, the owner bought it with only 124 km, and since then the car has been stored in the garage. It is clear that Cadillac Eldorado was never used as everyday transport, because its owners saw in it the collectible potential and the opportunity to resell more expensively.
Elegant and powerful, Cadillac Eldorado in 1976 is equipped with a huge 8.2-liter V8 with a capacity of 215 hp. Power limit is due to the strict economies of the 1970s, but the car remains one of the most powerful convertibles of its time. It is an anterior drive car with a 3-speed automatic transmission, and its length reaches a striking 5.7 m.
The car equipment is also impressive: in addition to a powerful engine, it has a climate control, a cruise control, a seat electric drive, a pneumatic suspension, a central lock and a system of automatic light control of headlights. These functions provided a high level of comfort, not available to all cars of the time.
The uniqueness of this Cadillac Eldorado is also explained by the fact that after the introduction of new security standards in the United States, General Motors stopped release of convertible. Because of this, at the time of the model, it was often considered the last representative of their class, although the convertes returned in the Middle 1980s.
This Cadillac Eldorado has become a prime example of a collection car that has passed a decade later, almost not losing its original beauty and technological potential, retaining the style and atmosphere of the luxury of the 70's.
