1975 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Times change, fashions change. By the end of the 1960s, convertibles, once the most grandiose expression of the American automobile, had fallen out of favor with the buying public. Even Chevrolet, who always sold more Corvette convertibles than coupes saw the numbers dramatically reverse. By 1976, all US manufacturers had removed convertibles from their offerings – except Cadillac. The 1976 Eldorado convertible was promoted by General Motors as "the last American convertible," and they made sure the drop top era went out in style. Powered by the massive 500 cu-in Cadillac V8 and measuring almost 19 feet in length, it defied the looming gas crunch and safety regulations in the biggest, boldest way possible. Although convertibles slowly started to be produced again during the 1980s, none of them can compare to the legendary full-sized bravado of the Eldorado.
