1978 Cadillac Eldorado

Gateway Classic Cars of Fort Lauderdale is delighted to present this stunning 1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz, with only 14,319 miles at the time of check in.

The 1978 Eldorado was the last traditional-size luxury car built by Cadillac. All of Cadillac's other models were greatly downsized by 1978. It was the end of the grand American luxury cruisers- determined to exit the scene with grace and style. It is the kind of car you look back at when you park it in the driveway and smile. Who cares if some think it a wasteful misfit in todays world. We know, and you know it represents a time many of us wish we could recapture, even for just for a minute. Well, here is your change to return to the late 70's. So finish blow drying your hair, dig out your favorite 8-tracks, throw on some bell-bottom slacks & wide collar shirt and ride, baby.

The exterior of this Cadillac has it all: Gorgeous lines, an abundance of brightwork, a thick padded vinyl top... the last rendition of the big Eldorado- refined, and simply beautiful. Somehow, the folks at Cadillac styling made it all work with enormity and beautifully proportioned lines, despite having to satisfy strict bumper safety standards. Overall condition is very good.

Cadillac's smooth 425 V8- topped by Rochester's Quadrajet 4-barrel makes the right amount of power to move this large Cadillac in a suitable manner. After all, it's not a performance car. Cadillac's goal was to make it quiet and smooth and it does that very well- in town or on the freeway. The THM 425 transmission drives the front wheels, a feature shared by all Cadillac Eldorados since 1967. The layout makes servicing the engine user friendly, with an abundance of room under the hood.

The leather-appointed interior is in superb condition, and very comfortable. So comfortable you might want to crank up Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" or AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long" to stay awake. This car was designed to pamper with the plump seating areas, abundance of power and creature comforts. If you are going to buy one of these, we recommend you give this clean low-mile example serious consideration. Anything less would surely disappoint.
