What an absolutely beautiful example of Eldorado elegance! Thank you for another wonderful look into the past!

absolutely Beautiful. Perfect color. If I had the money today, I'd buy this car.

This was back when if you owned Cadillac or Lincoln, it meant you "made it". Now, vehicles have no soul, no style. Just big, boxy tank like SUV's and pickup trucks. Driving is no longer pleasurable, it's a war everyday out there on the roads.

Oh I love it! And it brings back the memories, too: When these came out, a business owner in my area had 2 of them ("his & hers"). The rumor was he also purchased an undisclosed # of them for future use/investment. As kids we always tried to sneak in his warehouse to see if any were there. We never got caught but we never saw any other Caddies, either. The legend continues...

Magnificent American engineering. Same engine size, Bugatti Chiron, Veyron, 8.2. At least.

My dream car. I've owned three 70's Eldorados. Gorgeous.

My favorite Cadillac of all time hands down but in silver!

Several times in my beat-up '74 Fleetwood, I'd restart the engine at a stoplight because I couldn't hear or feel it running (a bit different when cold). Miss that car more than any I've owned since.

Massive American luxury! The end of an ERA! I was a 5 year old kid in 1976, and had no idea, that these Cadillac's would be the biggest and last of this size, that would ever be made!

The Cadillac brand always did it for me! My uncle had a ‘76 Fleetwood that took up half of our driveway! This Eldorado is sweet!! 😎👍🏾🥳

Beautiful car! I have a -76 convertible myself and it drives great. It is someting special with the open-air feeling and this drive train gives you a smooth, quiet and seamless acceleration (quiter than I had guessed).

A good friend Resto-Modded his 1976 Eldorado Convertible with a 1970 Spec 500 Engine. Wow what a difference in performance that made. We surprise many cars on the highway with that Sleeper.

Thanks so much for posting this - a fellow employee at a firm we were employed at had one and the ride was great!

Elegance, plain and simple. Thanks Lou!!

My favorite Cadillac. A close second would be the '68 ELDORADO Coupe.

What a awesome Eldo rag top Lou! That is one beautiful huge unit! My gosh I bet it rides like a dream too! I remember those cars I graduated high school the year this was made. One you never hardly see Lou! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Lou...this was back in the days when a Cadillac had a Cadillac engine!!!

Very clean and straight example. Great video as always Lou! Thank you!

Thanks again Lou .

Beautiful Eldorado!

My favorite !!

Nice video Lou. Great Cadillac!

I truly see myself driving this every day Mind you, I'm 18 Awesome machine Lou

I always wanted one of these I've had every model except this have a pristine 69 convertible right now keep up the good work Lou

My friend's dad had one red one what the white vinyl top smooth cruising everybody likes it you have a good day Lou thanks for your service

That Cadillac looks solid and clean. A beautiful example.

She's beautiful! I'm loving the red pinstriping accenting the black - oh - and the mat black finish on the hubcaps.., to die for! The wood accents in the door panels are the icing on the proverbial cake. Alas, I could never ever own a convertible. I've known too many people where thugs ripped through the canvas and stole em for joy destructive rides. But lord some of em are gorgeous to behold - this caddy being one of em.

I've never seen an Eldorado in black. I guess you would call this one triple-black, since the interior and convertible top is also black. The paint job looks incredible! I always liked the styling of '70's Eldorados and the '59 of course with the crazy tail fins. Thanks, Lou!

stunning. while I was a previous owner of a convertible with a black interior and therefore would not recommend it, the triple black on this car makes a powerful statement and dominates the room...recommend you wait for the sun to go down before retracting the top...evening top-down rides are the best anyway. gorgeous car

My favorite year for the Eldorado but not in black, I can't imagine sitting in that in the hot California sun baking at a stop light, WOWIE!

Sweet !

Nice Video

a nice big comfortable boat

Great car, Lou, Thanks. My Dad had a firemist blue and white one of these when I was in high school-- it was my job to keep it clean. A wash and wax took the better part of a day. I have no idea how you could keep a black one nice without hiring some folks!

Hi Lou, those big turn signal lights are usually called cornering lights, they light the corner of the car per your directional signal. It is a very useful option but not many companies offer them. That said this would be a great car to tool around the countryside. Thanks.

Beautiful car it's beast though I always liked the big hub caps on this car

AWESOME :) :)

My fav in 1973 to 76. 74 had those little verticle scoops down back end side. Thats the only part I dont like on these cars.. This is Awesome !!!

The guy going over the car with Lou is wrong. 1976 was not the final year for this body style (for the convertible, yes). Nonetheless, this body style continued on until 1978, and then was downsized for 1979 until it saw another downsize in 1986, until it was shamefully and woefully "Europeanized" in 1992 at which point it ceased to be truly "Cadillac" (IMHO). Still another wonderful video, Lou!

Though it is a 500 cubic inch V8. It only produces 190 horsepower. A optional Bendix electric fuel injection added, it raised the horsepower to 215 horsepower. Torque was rated at 210 ft. lbs. w/o injection and 38 ft. lbs. with injection.

The Hydro Boost that was used in those years was also used on the Continental and several other large Ford product. The Hydro Boost was developed buy Oldsmobile for their diesel powered cars.

It's a shame that Cadillac lost it's way! It used to be special, no longer so!

any videos on that beautiful El Camino in the background?

Awesome Lou《☆》I bet She'll smoke the front tires no problem ☻

nice is there a video of how the front wheel drive set up works and how it looks underneath🤔

What a most stunning classic automobile! While it’s an excellent ‘70s Cadillac example, I would say that it’s styling is timeless. Too bad GM/Cadillac doesn’t design, create, and manufacture a handful beautiful luxury cars today. I mean, I get it & I know why, but what a stunning example that could be designed for today’s lifestyle. Lou...how do you not keep from buying all these wonderful cars for your own personal collection? LOL!!

At 2:08 the correct name for the part is cornering lamp

Did I just hear him ask if this 1976 Cadillac Eldorado was Front Wheel Drive? 9:50 lol

My mom had an all white one . new

It float

Back in the day these were “the” car to have. Now it looks so huge. I realize that you couldn’t sell a car like this today, but GM sure handed the vehicle market to the imports by building poor quality vehicles that were out of touch with the car buyer’s needs and desires. 1976 vehicles weren’t bad, but in the next 5 years they really changed the direction, the wrong way.

Not the highest time for Cadillac, but you didn't see many convertibles in the 1970s. Anything in the early 1970s and before were the better years, in my humble opinion.

Hi

Another nice Cadillac Lou. I look forward to posting my friend Derek's fully restored 1928 Cadillac Roadster when it is finished hopefully not too much longer. In the meantime I just came back from his magnificent property where he has an amazing collection of vintage motorbikes and classic vintage cars including this gorgeous 1925 Crossley which was an absolute delight to take for a tour around his area in a beautiful part of Queensland Australia. I hope you will view it and let me know what you think. This beautifully restored automobile is a one off and deserves more recognition. You and your like minded viewers can watch it on my KZfaq Channel Train Lord. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdRdlZx1tqewhac.html

Fwd??

When Japanese start enter the market very cheap , they target American cars and look what happened now . What a shame
