When Cadillac announced to the world that 1976 would be the last year of the convertible, there was an instant increase in demand, and production went up by 156% compared to the 1975 model year. Everyone thought this was the end forever for a convertible. Nevertheless, the convertible was reintroduced in 1984, but it never became the same beautiful and timeless Cadillac as the final year of the original Eldorado Convertibles.

The perfect long-hood paired with a short body proportionally gave the Eldorado's 224-inch length an incredible look. Under the car's massive hood is an equally-massive 500ci V-8 that powers the last year Cadillac convertibles that has more than enough power to sail along comfortably. GM's innovative front-wheel drive system, which paired a classic Hydra-Matic TH400 transmission with a planetary gearbox, turned out to even be sturdy enough to drive the 12,500lb GMC Motorhome of 1973-1978. The Eldorado convertibles were one of the greatest cars of their time and one of the most iconic Cadillacs ever created.
