Top-of-the-line Cadillacs have a special appealand#44; and this 1979 Cadillac Eldorado delivers everything you want in personal luxuryand#44; including a fuel-injected V8 and a luxury A/C interiorand#44; without the top-of-the-line price tag. Take a look at that angular body. These are the iconic lines of the last of the great cruising Cadillacs. 1979 was the first year for the eight-generation Eldoradoand#44; and when Cadillac shut the books on this one a few years laterand#44; the Eldorado coupes shrank to nearly compact car proportions and lost many of Cadillacs distinguished features. These coupes have just the right amount of chrome that cascades off the hallmark grilleand#44; then naturally flows to the front bumpersand#44; spreads to the lower valancesand#44; and pools on the rear bumper. The perfect compliment to this classic style is the Colonial Yellow paintand#44; which shows so much originalityand#44; this Caddy might just be a great survivor. And a presentation this nice means getting the details rightand#44; too. It still has all its great original Cadillac styling cues from the clear lenses in frontand#44; to the echoes of tailfins in the taillight design. The burgundy pinstripe is not just bold complement to the exterior paintand#44; but also its a nice introduction to the interior color. The plush velvet-like fabric demonstrates what personal luxury is all about as it rivals the best living rooms for comfort. Everybody has their own individual space separated by an armrestand#44; and the front wheel drive layout means a flat floorand#44; where each person has limo-worthy legroom. Everything youd expect from Cadillacs flagship model comes in this coupeand#44; including power seatsand#44; power windowsand#44; power locksand#44; and an upgrade to a modern AM/FM/CD stereo. The automatic climate control even had its air conditioning converted to modern R134a to keep you comfortable all day long. In a car this honest and original so farand#44; its great to see the numbers-matching V8 under the hood. This 350 cubic-inch powerplant came with electronic fuel injection straight from Cadillac. This innovative feature in 79 and averaging less than 2and#44;000 miles since then means today it fires up easily and runs like a smooth Caddy should. A three-speed automatic transmission and power steering keep this an easy cruising Eldorado. The feeling on the road is that unsurpassed Cadillac cloud thanks to an all-independent suspension with air shocks in the rear. Four-wheel disc brakes were also standard equipment on the Eldoradoand#44; so it has better capabilities than youd expect in a coupe with such a cushy ride. Complete with owners manualand#44; these Eldorados are becoming sought-after as they cross the threshold into true classic car territory. This one has fuel-injected V8 powerand#44; a stellar interiorand#44; and low mileage for its preserved age. Its the ultimate affordable collectors Caddy. Dont miss outand#44; call today! |
