General Motors’ successful Eldorado models needed a redesign. The eighth generation (first year 1971) brought back the convertible model missing from Generation VII. The popularity continued as sales rose, and the Eldorado was chosen as the Indy 500 pace car in 1973.
The 1975 models took after its predecessor from 1974. That year, models featured a redesigned instrument cluster that GM sales brochures dubbed the “space age” instrument panel. Eldorados from this mark where seen in many movies of the 70s, including the James Bond film “Live and Let Die.” 1975 was at the worst of the economic recession during that time. This led to low sales of the 1975 Eldorado. Just two years earlier, Eldorados accounted for one-sixth of Cadillac’s sales with 51, 451 sold.
The 1975 Eldorado didn’t have the Fleetwood title. The year after, GM introduced the Biarritz luxury package. However, new standards on the ’75 included six-way power adjustable seats, power lock doors, tinted glass and lamp monitors. Factory options for the Eldorado were electronic fuel injection, passenger recliner seat and air cushion restraint system.
Under the hood of this Cadillac you see pictured is a 500-CID, V8 engine. This car is front-wheel drive with a three-speed automatic, turbo hydra-matic transmission. This car has 50,555 original miles, and the car has only had ONE owner/driver.
The highlight of this ’75 is the original interior. The smooth, pueblo metallic-color and leather is a sign of the elegant Eldorado design. The dark wood paneling along the dash will transport you right back to the 1970s. The AM/FM radio, a new standard in 1975, is original along with all the gauges which are operable. This Caddy has power steering, brakes and transmission.
The convertible top is a classic White.
Taking a ride in this Cadillac convertible will show you how Eldorado became such a successful make for GM. Mileage currently reads 50,555, and it is being sold on a clear California title.

Cadillac Escala Concept shows off a softer side of American luxury
Fri, Aug 19 2016When Cadillac announced that it would be appearing at Monterey Car Week with a stunning, new concept, the news sent a rush of blood to the head. Would it be a CT6 Coupe? A new V-series model? A follow-up to the show-stopping Elmiraj? Tonight, at the beginning of a weekend of festivities to tantalize automotive enthusiasts and aficionados, Cadillac instead showed off a glimpse of reality: the Escala four-door coupe concept. It wasn't behind a flat-white background, but at a futuristic yet modern home nestled in the hills that Cadillac president Johan De Nysschen introduced the Escala as a "point of inflection" for the brand. Keen observers will note that "Escala" is nearly "Escalade," but any similarity between the two vehicles ends there. De Nysschen noted that the four-door is meant to "relentlessly drive this brand back to its place at the pinnacle of premium." "Nothing less will do," de Nysschen said. The Escala is neither as bold as some recent Cadillacs to take the stage, nor as brash. From a distance, it has a wide, muscular stance wrapped in a tailored suit. Up close, it almost resembles a four-door Camaro — perhaps a nod to the work of former Holden design chief and incoming General Motors director of design, Michael Simcoe. De Nysschen described the Escala project as an "opportunity for designers to flex their creative muscle." The Escala seems to have a footprint mirroring that of a Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class, but it feels wider and smaller at the same time. Is the shape derivative? Perhaps, but the Escala's design is less a reflection of a future, incognito Cadillac, and more of a chance for the brand to show off the details that might soon become icons. The Escala's shape may not be earth-shatteringly different, but the truth is in its details. The mirrors are as thin as designer spectacles. The C-pillar offers an opportunity to show off Cadillac's latest take on the Hoffmeister kink. A glass roof adds visual airiness. And a simple "GM DESIGN" badge sits below the side doors, in deference to the stylists who labored to make the Escala different. The most defining element of the concept is the way it utilizes light. There isn't anything blinding about its lighting, but that means you can focus on the shape and appreciate the ambience. The depth of the LED tail lights adds visual length to the Escala and shows where Cadillac's designers placed the most importance. It's contrast and beauty at once.
2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe configurator is ready to get personal
Wed, 17 Sep 2014If you are in the market for a luxury coupe but would prefer it to be American, then you are in luck because the configurator for the 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe is now online.
Prices for the Cadillac start at $38,990 (including the $995 destination fee) for the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 272 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, or $46,145 for the 321-hp, 275-lb-ft 3.6-liter V6. Gearbox options include a six-speed manual on some 2.0 models or a six-speed automatic on both of them, and they can be ordered with all-wheel drive for $2,450 to the four-cylinder or $2,600 to the 3.6.
One thing that Cadillac does especially well here is giving customers a plethora of models and options to choose from. Trim level choices include standard, luxury, performance and premium for the four-cylinder or luxury, performance and premium for the V6. There are also 10 colors available, five of which carry an extra premium of $495 or $995. Upgraded interior packages for $1,295 add improved trim and leather, as well.
Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.
