A magnificent car from the glory days of GM and Cadillac.

The rear window styling was a Bill Mitchel favorite. He was head of GM styling. It appeared later on GM's 1973 intermediate high level coupes and the 1977-1979 Caprice coupes. I was told the line in the middle of the window is caused by a hot wire that was used to bend the glass. The 1967 Eldos look dumb with those metal fender end caps. Looks much better with the parking lights there. Hide away headlights are so cool. Another Bill Mitchel favorite.

Interesting car isn't it. Those fender caps make it seem that the front fenders weren't stamped right. Speaking of stamping- those rear blade fenders were a nightmare for Fisher Body. They were so large with sharp lines for a single stamping that a far amount of them ripped while stamping.Thanks for commenting.

Yes I agree. And the new one, the Celistiq, or whatever its called for $300,000- are you kidding me. At least you get your color choice.

My first car (in 1975) was a 1967 Eldorado, and it had the square side mirrors and did not have the front turn signals in the fenders. It was turquoise with a black vinyl top, black interior with hounds-tooth cloth center seat and back panels. I loved that car but the single mono rear springs would break, the AC was problematic (only came out the defroster) and then the front wheel drive started going bad.

Beautiful! The colors are a nice break from the typical back, white and gray. The dealer plate is Keyser Cadillac in Buffalo, NY. I believe their showroom was originally Pierce-Arrow's factory flagship showroom on Main St. & Jewett Parkway. The showroom has been preserved as a bank and is on the National Historic Register. It's a short block away from Frank Lloyd Wright's landmark Darwin D. Martin residence. It's worth the trip to see both. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the great video on this amazing car ... 1967 was the first year for the front-wheel-drive Eldorado, built on the same GM platform as the Oldsmobile Toronado, which came out in 1966. The car uses GM's Automatic Level Control self-leveling suspension, which was standard equipment on Eldorados. An under-hood vacuum compressor (that thing on the driver side that looks like a black scuba tank in front of the master cylinder) fills the rear Superlift shocks with air until the car is level. If it's working properly you can hear the hiss of the check valve on the rear axle exhausting excess air when you get out of the car or remove a load from the trunk.

What a great 67 Eldo example. Of the Eldo departures of those days ( 67, 68, 69 and 70), the 67 is my fav, being its shorter and more sport looking than the others. Hard to find real leather on the 67. Yours with the red on red is so nice. Icing on the cake for me would be this car with non vinyl top. But to each his own there. Plus, the 429 seems more reasonable than a 472 or 500. Makes me think of Frank Sinatra and Palm Springs for some reason. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm here. I learned a few things as well.

8:46 That window was bent by pressing it over a heated steel rod. The same technique was used on other GM cars, specifically the 1977 Chevrolet Caprice Sport Coupe, which had two sharp bends along each side.

The 67 Eldorado has a couple of the same features as the 67 T-bird coupe. The rear windows also rolled back into the sail panel and there was a rear grille panel between the roof and trunk for flow through ventilation.

Great video and a fine example of automotive engineering-- thanks for your efforts! I thought for sure you were going to take out a wall when you had it on the turntable! I owned a '69 Eldorado for about 7 years starting back in 1980, so I totally understand your devotion. It was the finest car (to this day) I have ever owned, the lines, comfort, and design, were all unsurpassed, I was in my 20's and in heaven. I can't say I didn't put money in it and it was expensive to work on (some work I had done at Cadillac because I didn't trust anyone to work on certain features). Been toying with buying a '70 Eldorado for the 500 cu inch, but I don't care for the redesign tail lights, alas, I don't know if owning one is practical anymore in our current timeframe, as parts are much harder to come by, and would want a daily driver. Thanks again for the memories!

I wouldn't worry too much about having to have that 500 engine. With the gas mileage you want to go easy on the pedal so a 429 or 472 would be just fine.

Later on the 1966 Oldsmobile Tornado then came the El Doradro from Cadillac. And finally the redisgned and refocused 1969 to 1972 Pontiac Grand Prix and also I'm not forgetting the 1970 to 72 Chevrolet Monte carlo either I realize that the monte and the 69 and later Grand Prix were slightly smaller and on a streched out midsized wheelbase but all of these had their moments(sometimes at the same time) and eventually they turned out to be the leaders of this field.

That is your garage? Looks mors like a showroom. Very nice Caddy. We all remember those cars as kids the Imperials, the Corvettes, the Continentals, the Bonnevilles, T-Birds, etc when cars had style.

Thanks for the comments. Yeah, remember those cars well. I'm in the long haul of restoring a 1969 Buick Riviera GS. Another beauty.

Ya think?

The end caps on the front fenders replaced the direction signal lights in 68 and side marker lights were added never daw a 67 with both

A rolling factory large enough to have it's own shipping address.

Very nice....67.....I owned a 67 Coupe Deville..... Eldo's sister (lol) ... I like the front end fender lights....didnt like the metal cover that was first used on 67 Eldo....this car has the old style door mirror....68 had the new style mirror in box housing and Caddy script on it......68 had the new side lights ...back side had the wreath crest light up in red.....front cornering light stayed lit amber till the cornering light went on when signaling turn.... only negative about this car to me is the side door guards....these look tacky on this model... I believe factory car didnt have these on the Eldo model...My Coupe Deville did have them as they should have for orig. factory car........thanks for Vid.......My big brother had a new 68 Eldo...Chestnut brown....blk Vinyl top and camel leather interior.....I was too young to drive her...Darn it ! .... good times back then

Thanks to DeLorean who created part of it too

I drove one in 1978 it was a friend of mines car, I did not know engines as I know now, that car was very fast I was 25, it scared me because I had a heavy foot.

The ELR is nice...but the 67 blows them all away !!!!
