1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible
Gong into the late 70s the gas supply situation had put a pretty good strangle hold on the big luxury car market, but Cadillac wasn’t about to give up that easily. There had always been a market for the Caddie convertibles so they held on until 1976 with the Eldorado drop top.
This Eldo convertible is a very, nice low mileage edition with what are believed to be 20XXX actual miles on the odometer. It has original paint except for the front fender and quarter panel extensions and the interior is original and in great shape. The finish is the correct and original Commadore Blue h Blue interior and power top. This fine drop top Caddie has had three owners and it was always their weekend and fair weather driver. We would not be afraid to drive this car coast to coast, as long we didn’t have to buy the gas. Everything works on this great Cadillac and it floats down the road with an easy and comfortable feel. Don’t miss out on your chance to enjoy on of the last great Big Luxury Convertibles from the quality leader of GM.

Customer Testimonial
Dear Classic Enterprises,
Just a note to thank you for a wonderful car-buying experience.
My purchase of a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air was an easy transaction and you and your staff were more than accommodating. The process and the arranging of some changes before the car was transported to me, here in Oregon, was gratifying.
I also appreciate your referral to Allied, who picked up the car within four days and delivered the car, without a hitch, in their enclosed carrier. Prior to contacting Allied, I had three brokers who promised delivery, but couldn't get the job done - a wasted three weeks.
As an out-of-town, long distance buyer, it was not cost effective to make the trip from Oregon to Cedar Rapids, Iowa to personally inspect the car. In that situation, between the numerous photos you provided and an independent inspection, ordered by me, by a professional classic car inspection co., I felt the purchase - sight unseen - would still be a good way to go. I was not disappointed.
Thank you also for your many calls and emails to me throughout the process to make sure I was happy with the process and that the transaction was going smoothly. I would highly recommend your services and the quality of your inventory.
Warmest regards,
Curtis A.
Jacksonville, OR
