Classic convertibles just don't get much cooler than this! Dressed in factory colors both inside and out and powered by a sizable engine that underscores the "big" in big block, this 1974 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible is one of those timeless rides you just can't help but stare at. Its Antigua Blue Poly paint has a nice, deep shine and the entire exterior is free of any dents or major blemishes that would detract from its outstanding visual impact. With its lengthy wheelbase and timeless style, this droptop started life off on third base, and with its premium, "triple blue" configuration and solid running condition, it remains very much at the top of its game.
While the blue leather upholstery may show signs of wear, it's far less than you'd rightfully expect in an open-air cruiser that has likely spent a good portion of time with the top down, especially considering this interior may well have been on board from the start. Owing to this Eldorado's substantial dimensions, there's all kinds of room inside the doors and the power front seat will position you just where you want to be for maximum comfort. The dash area has come through the decades in strong fashion, with an assembly of factory gauges still residing in its instrument cluster and a factory-style AM/FM radio at its center that still works on command. As a top tier representative of a brand known for its comfort, there are plenty of power features onboard, including power windows, door locks and cruise control and they're in good working order, as well.
The engine compartment on this Caddy is sizable, but the 500-cubic-inch V8 that lurks beneath the hood does a nice job of filling it up, while still leaving plenty of working room for maintenance. Fed by a stock-style 4-barrel carburetor, the engine is in fine form, starting up promptly, idling smoothly and pulling with enthusiasm as the accompanying 3-speed automatic THM400 transmission runs through its gears with no issues. In fact, the driving manners on this Eldorado are pretty impressive on the whole. It tracks arrow straight, maneuvers easily via its power steering and comes to a stop with minimal effort, thanks to power brakes that feature discs up front. A glance below will reassure you that this 50-year-old-plus cruiser is structurally sound and ready to roll.
