1971 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible. The most EXPENSIVE Cadillac ever made? King of the Land Yachts !
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Cadillac Eldorado is a luxury car manufactured and marketed by Cadillac from 1952 until 2002 over twelve generations.
The Eldorado was at or near the top of the Cadillac line. The original 1953 Eldorado convertible and the Eldorado Brougham models of 1957-1960 had distinct bodyshells and were the most expensive models that Cadillac offered those years. The Eldorado was never less than second in price after the Cadillac Series 75 limousine until 1966. Starting in 1967 the Eldorado retained its premium position in the Cadillac price structure, but was built in high volumes on a unique two door personal luxury car platform.
The Eldorado carried the Fleetwood designation from 1965 through 1972, and was a modern revival of the pre-war Cadillac V-12 and Cadillac V16 roadsters and convertibles. It was the first Cadillac model to use a nameplate instead of previous Series model descriptions

I've always wanted this car. Saw one at the beach, red with white interior, convertible and I was hooked. Came close a couple times. Even with today's gas prices, I would jump on one if it, "speaks to me". Thank you for the eye candy.

I aways thought the '71 Eldorado was the prettiest of that series ('71-'78) after '71 it was downhill from there - prefer the coupe though. I remember being 14yo and seeing one for the first time in the showroom (a pretty silver/blue with matching color vinyl top with light blue cloth interior) and couldn't take my eyes off of it!

what color, mark ?
The color is called Pewter Firemist and it has Antique Pewter Leather Interior with factory painted green accent striping. The horsepower is 365 and really the same as in 1970 (where it was listed as 400 horsepower) but the way it was reported changed in the industry. 1971 was the first year of the fiber optic lamp monitors and return of the hood ornament (but this time "spring loaded.")

I am from Australia I have a 1971 Cadillac Eldorado convertible in fire mist blue it has 4 rows of lourves or vent openings instead of 2 on the boot lid as featured on the above car and it does not have light monitors on the front fenders, so is my an earlier 1971 car ?
72, BIT THE DUST. 71S' WERE TIRE FRYERS.
Если мне не изменяет память у Cadillac Eldorado, 1971, 218HP. Я могу ошибаться.
Nice old iron! Home garages that'll fit that car are still not common today, I'll bet that car is close to the same length as my 3/4 ton GMC Crew Cab truck.

Wrong that car makes way more horsepower than that. It’s funny to hear people give false facts as if they know cars. Lolol I’ve owned one for 27years and they aren’t slow. Cadillac has never underpowered anything they have made. For the 1971 model year, the 8.2 litre V8 produced 365 hp @ 4,400 rpm with 725 Nm of peak torque @ 2,800 rpm.
