The Cadillac Eldorado is a personal luxury car that was manufactured and marketed by Cadillac from 1953 to 2002 over ten generations. The 1967 Cadillac Eldorado is a milestone Cadillac by any standard. The knife-edged, ultra-contemporary shape was an attention-getter in 1967 – and it influences Cadillac design to this day. Although the chassis and underbody structure borrowed heavily from Oldsmobile’s year-old Toronado, the style was totally unique. Performance was 0–60 mph (0–96 km/h) in less than nine seconds and a top speed of 120 mph (192 km/h). The engine was a Cadillac, 429 c.i.d./340 h.p. V-8. Variable ratio power steering and front disc brakes gave the driver better feel through the wheel and more stopping power. Automatic level control capped an already unconventional suspension.

The dream car for many restorers is this muscle car. Cadillac produced a Sedan de Ville in 1968. The Sedan de Ville was equipped with four doors and considered as full-size automobile. The 1968 de Ville was offered only with the 472-cubic-inch big-block V-8. The 472 featured a 4.30-inch bore and a 4.06-inch stroke. Its compression ratio was 10.5:1. The 472 produced 375 horsepower at 4,400 rpm and 525 foot-lbs. of torque at 3,000 rpm. The engine block was made of cast iron and featured a hydraulic camshaft and a four-barrel Rochester carburetor.

Cadillacs latest model has arrived. Fourth-generation Escalade is the most important new Cadillac since the division’s renaissance. The Escalade continues to be offered in standard and ESV long-wheelbase forms, but the recently discontinued EXT pickup will not be making a comeback. The new Escalade still rides on traditional body-on-frame architecture. The Escalade also carries over a 6.2-liter V8, but this one comes from GM’s latest generation of direct-injection engines, with output increased to 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque The cabin of the 2015 Escalade features a wealth of perforated leather, prominent stitching and genuine wood, while wrapped and tiered surfaces demonstrate a level of detail and build quality absent in previous generations.

This is the perfect symbol of the seventies. The Eldorado is a two-door personal luxury car manufactured and marketed by the Cadillac Division of General Motors. The body lines on the Biarritz are sleek and slightly contoured, but suddenly angular. It is opulent and elegant, stopping just shy of excessive. 1978 would be the final year for the full-sized Cadillac Eldorado. Demand for more fuel efficient vehicles led General Motors to down size most of its line.
