1974 Cadillac Eldorado

1974 Cadillac Eldorado for your consideration. It is powered by a hefty 8.2L V8 paired with a smooth shifting automatic transmission. A surprise to many is that the 1974 Eldorado is front-wheel-drive. Cadillac chose to combine the control and maneuverability of front-wheel-drive with the precision feel of variable ratio power steering to make the Eldorado a exceptional driving vehicle. With the quick turn of the key, the motor fires right up and is ready to power this beast of a vehicle down the road. The 1974 Cadillac Eldorado is a two-door luxury convertible that was produced off the GM E-body platform in the eighth generation. With a wheelbase of 126.3 inches and a total length of 224 inches, the Eldorado is a large, bold statement that the driver enjoys the finer things in life. This generation continued as a front-wheel drivetrain making the ride very comfortable for that top-down summer cruise. The 1974 model was the final year to use the round headlights before Cadillac switched to rectangular light in 1975. Classic Eldorado's, like this example, are constantly featured in movies and television as that very desirable luxury car of its time making them a very recognizable classic.
