BEAUTIFUL PERFECT EXAMPLE of a 2 owner Florida Car loaded with 48, 000 original low miles in the No.40 Seamist Green (2962) with 11T - White (8856) White Sierra grain leather . The original sales receipt from 1977 is preserved and in-hand along with several repair bills going back to the mid 90s This is a garaged car not a 0 mile museum car, although she is a very impressive head turning driver when taken out on the road. Miles on the odometer are accurate at just over 48K, always stored and maintained to the top levels, never hit or wrecked, clean underside with ZIEBART rust protector.
This beauty is a ready to drive anywhere, ready to be a show car, and ready to impress your friends and neighbors. Her engine runs very smooth no shaking no stalling at the red lights, .. nothing of the sort , .. she is an absolute delight to drive. Engine has power and starts right up with the turn of the key and operates very smooth thereafter. AC is ICE COLD. Car has $2, 800 in recent expenditures including period correct new extra wide whitewall tires for the front purchased three months ago and new matching rear tires, also new exhaust system back past the catalytic converter, brakes and calipers rebuilt, & rubber hoses replaced.
GREAT INVESTMENT and WONDERFUL TO DRIVE AND ENJOY - I am lucky to have not sold this beautiful car last year. I really enjoyed driving her this summer, and as I am sure you know the Eldorados have appreciated substantially over the past 12 months, .. of course appreciation has occurred with all classic cars across the board as the national economy has improved substantially. I have already been offered 15k from a local parties so I obviously have no interest in selling it for less than that and I am seeking potential buyers that appreciate an original 48, 000 mileage well maintained original car. Moreover, I have see substantial interest developing in the Eldorados. These fantastic cars have been an under appreciated vehicle for years, and are now getting the attention they rightly deserve. I have five (5) Eldorados in my private collection, and I love them all, and I feel certain they will continue to appreciate in advance of other alternative investments since the valuation still has not caught up to other 60s - 70s era vehicles that were originally selling for 1/2 - 1/3 of this cars original list price back in the day. Unlike other Cadillacs, .. the Eldorado is a car unique to itself in its sporty styling and smooth ride. I have 2 corvettes 58 & 64 and I can tell you that they exhaust me, .. but driving the Eldorado is pure pleasure.

Cadillac closed the chapter on the last of the breed Eldorado Convertible in 1976, and introduced attractive new styling for the 1977 Eldorado Cabriolet w/Astroroof having a Production Total of 467. This would be the final expression of full-sized personal luxury for the Eldorado, as plans were well underway to replace it with a much smaller Eldorado for 1979. That would allow just two years for lovers of full sized personal luxury to get their orders in before this legendary automobile in its original dimensions would be relegated forever to history.
And if you're going to go, you might as well do it in style, right? And what could be more stylish than driving a legendary Eldorado? The Eldorado's new styling began up front with an attractive new grille, which emphasized the thin vertical bars, which were separated by three horizontal bars, spaced widely apart. A brushed chrome grille header was mounted on the lower edge of the hood, which had a thin chrome molding that ran from end to end which made the car look wider than ever. Eldorado was spelled out in block lettering across the hood, above the brushed header. Dual rectangular headlights bordered the grille. The forward sections of the front fenders featured a raised wing Cadillac emblem as before, but it was now set against a black background that added new distinction to the front end.
NOTE: This is not considered the Cadillac Eldorado Convertible which ceased production in 1976 This particular body style was produced in 1975 1976 1977 1978. Starting in 1977 Cadillac offered as an option the AstroRoof in the Eldorado that was a SunRoof MoonRoof combination, meaning the car had an interior head panel that when opened revealed a tinted glass roof panel so you could enjoy limited sunshine without burning your head off, as is the problem with just a standard sunroof. Moreover, The motorized tinted glass panel when opened had full open unobstructed sky view and was particularly enjoyable in the evenings when cruising the sunset strip (so-to-speak), ..hence the term moon roof or Astro Roof.
