What an awesome color inside and out! I have a 1994 Eldorado, maybe just a tiny bit darker on the outside and gray leather inside. The crazy thing about mine is it looks awesome at night in the rain under insanely bright shopping center lights!
Absolutely Gorgeous Real Cadillac. I currently own a 1990 Brougham and she is a proud offspring of this Car of Cars, Cadillac…the Standard of the World indeed. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I think I have decided the 1994-1996 Fleetwood Broughams are my favorite due to the ride, handling, performance and relatively good fuel economy. Surprisingly the little 350 Chevy LT1 engine tromps these big block Cadillac engines. The mid 90s seem to be the best combination of "old school" and modern tech.
@@MostlyBuicks they are nice but they still have a lot of generic GM crap on them. I like the Cadillac specificity of brand, i.e. emblems, opera lights, hood ornaments, etc. Details are what make something classic whether it's a car or furniture or whatever. That's just me.
Very nice condition. Very nice color. I have a 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Coupe on my channel. Mine had just over 14,000 miles when I bought it in December now I have 17,000 miles on it. The profile picture on my channel has me sitting in it. 1979 is the last year of the huge Lincolns. Love the Lincolns and Cadillacs in the 70s.
Thank you. I started out life as a Ford guy. Mostly into Thunderbirds (owned several 1956 to 1966 models). There was a list of Lincolns and Continentals I wanted to own. 1956/7 MkII, 1969 MkIII, 1961 or 62 Continental etc. Never got around to it before I went over to GM, mostly Buicks.
Beautiful car! I love the 75-76 Cadillacs, RWD or Eldorado. The originality of this car is amazing. Most 76 Cadillacs this nice are Eldorado convertibles... also beautiful cars, but those were often bought to be preserved. Sedans, particularly deVille and Calais sedans, were used as regular drivers, and finding one this clean seems to be much harder than finding a nice, original 76 Eldorado convertible. I love the thunder... reminds me of Tucson.
@Wayne Robertson Yeah, that was the trick back in the day. The ol' reverse drill trick. It did not get around the "taper proof" design however, as you noted.
Beautiful car, gr8 condition. My dad had a '76 Eldorado with the Fuel Injection. Gave the 500cid, both more ponies 215,compared to 190. Torque was 400lbft, which was unheard of that year .the sales person sold the F.I. on the pretense it would get better MPGs. NOT!!. I don't care what ppl say, that year was the final year of luxurious land yachts. Grey metallic was my dad's Eldorado, with Astroroof & aluminum grey finned rims with VOGUE tyres. Ur car is bigger, a mobile living room. Njoy.
Well i had a 75 eldorado sky blue whith white interr and it was a 325 hp whith reverse smog it just had the fly wheel pully that pulled the ac comp and gentorator but it was like a jet at 80 the bad part was the more u flored it the faster the gas gage went down but i liked it it was a great car to own for while
Why make a presentation of this beauty during a thunderstorm? We can wait. Love full size cars. Drove i.e. a 1973 Coupé de Ville for 9 years and loved every +60K miles of it. Have driven my 1975 Continental MarkIV for 19 years now. Puke bucket. Not even funny. Dead people in the trunk? First question I get from Germans. Pretty tirsdag of that.
Love the car. I kind of understand why you did the video shoot in the rain. Because otherwise it would have been sunny & 110°F outside! 🥵 The silver color presents very well. Good job. If I was in a financial position to pay that money I would say the car is worth it. But it’s out of my league so I have to aim a little lower. I’m sure you found a buyer who will take very good care of it.
33,000 thousand dollars??? Oh wow, they're getting good money for these. I might go that high for a Coupe if I had the cash. Not sure about the Sedan though. But yes, gorgeous car and thanks for the weird voice impressions! Adds a little extra special strangeness to the whole deal 😉
Too much dude. I can see maybe around $25K but $33 is WAY too much for the shape this car is in . He showed the chips and scratches. He said there is surface rust. He replaced the tires but not with the period correct whitewalls as he should have (he got the cheapo Optima 's). Plus its not a well optioned car. No delay wipers, twilight sentinel or auto dimming. Plus the color isn't one of the more preferred colors. Sure the 11K miles makes it worth more which is why I estimate around $25ish. I had one of these around 20 years ago as a daily driver. They are really awesome cars to drive, especially on the highway. Mine was originally owned by a district manager for Cadillac. He turned it in after like 2 years with 11K miles which is when the man I bought it from purchased it from the Cadillac dealer. I think it had around 45K on it when I bought it around 2000. And as I recall, I paid somewhere in the neighborhood of around $4,500 for it. Paint in pristine condition along with the white top and white leather interior.
Great colour and one I don't remember having seen before. Nimitz class 4 door, but love the pillar less B pillar and frameless open windows not sure how this impacted the structural integrity of these cars, still you have to like it. Thanks for sharing.
GM introduced the 4 door hardtop in 1955. By 1956 the Bel-air was so available. GM introduced the 2 door hardtop in 1949. The last year for GM's two door hardtops was 1972 for the midsized and compact cars, and 1973 for the full sized cars. The Camaros and Firebirds still had frameless windows but no rear 1/4 glass. The last year for GM's 4 door hardtop was 1976. The last year for convertibles was 1975 except for El Dorado which was 1976. In 1982 GM pissed off a LOT of Eldorado "last convertible" owners by introducing the Riviera convertible! And they pissed me off by NOT bringing back the 2 door and 4 door hardtop! Hey, if you can make a convertible get by "rollover standards" why not a hardtop? Now the 1995-1999 Oldsmobile Auroras had frameless windows but they still had a "B" pillar. The only recent two door hardtops I have ever noticed are Mercedes. There may be others, but I have not seen any.
Beautiful old Caddie , not sure why you continued to do this outside in a thunderstorm 🤷🏽♂️ oh and also there is no real wood in the car, It’s all faux Looks in lovely condition, wish the new owner all the best with it.
Very nice car....the rain ,oh well.....thought id leave a comment since no one has and its always nice to know someones watching...I had a 1975 Fleetwood triple black with velour instead and came from a funeral .home...about 40 miles on her and I think that by 76 they starting getting sneaky and cheaping out, they all do. Now I have a triple black 1992 5.7....way better car for everyday driving in summer.
That’s not real wood trim, it’s simulated wood and will not be hurt if it gets wet. Still, most people roll up the windows to protect the interior door trim, seats, etc. 🤪
It's nice and if it was an eldo convertible or a seville first year they came out for that kinda money ,but it's hellishly overprice this sedan deville ..whoever bought this had more dough than brains in his head
@@MostlyBuicks Thank you Sir for the new video, and for the previous one. I just subscribed to your channel and will follow it with interest. I agree with your title that American cars used to be nicer. I liking them until the 1989 models. All the best.
Either this old guy has more money than God or he is just bold to sell a Cadillac that rare (11,000 miles) in poor weather. Oh and if one is that dam clueless to what a classic Cadillac of that year has when it rolled off the assembly line. The price they paid is adequate for the simple minded!. Score for the seller.
The person who bought it is an avid and well regarded Cadillac collector. I am sure he knows more about Cadillacs than I will ever know (I am a Buick fan). Not sure what you mean by being clueless to what a classic Cadillac has when it rolled off the line means. I think I mentioned the hood ornament is a Fleetwood ornament as are the hubcaps, both being a common aftermarket upgrade back in the day.
Ah, you could not have made a more untimely and inaccurate remark. Sold yesterday and funds cleared today for EXACTLY $33,000. I typically get a load of naysayers whenever I list a car. But so far anyway, I am always successful.
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they even want to slow down all the gas pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. "Bundesabgasbespaßungsverbot" in German. :-//
These idiots in government do not understand that "green energy" will not be able to keep up with the demand on electricity to charge electric cars. Hell, this summer the Governor of California told people to avoid charging their electric cars because the demand for electricity outstripped the supply. These "woke" governments should start building as many modern nuclear power plants as humanly possible if they want to get rid of the internal combustion engine. Or, if we want to drive cars, we can all move to China as they are the forces behind hobbling the Western culture and leadership in the world.
@@Caddyboy56 Sadly China wants to sell electric cars and lithium, all that combustion banning here is not about the environment, PRC dictates the end of use of all combustion cars worldwide. China told our EU politicians that they wont do any business with underdeveloped countries that still allow CO2 emitting traffic or combustion based industry after 2030...I am sure USA and UK also will be forced by China into 100% electric traffic because today no industrialized country can afford sanctions by China.... China just rules the world...:-(
Neat car, the only thing out of place conditionwise for 11,000 miles was the a/c condenser. Small time flipper seller looking for a payday (I'm not sure why he is bragging on eBay about the other cars he has sold), who likely paid less than $20,000 for the car then spent less than $2,000 for shipping from N.J. and new tires. No buyers yet at $34,750. Its a shame that it hasn't received a proper detailing. Probably the only thing holding back buyers is it being a pretty basic model, although nicely upgraded with Cadillac wire wheel covers and the hood ornament.
The reason I list cars I have sold on Ebay is for the very reason I am a small time hobbyist. So to inform people I have some sort of success and experience on Ebay, I list the cars I have sold. I am not a dealer that has a widespread reputation. I have well more than $30,000 in the car. I am NOT a "flipper" but someone who loves cars. And since I cannot afford to have a huge collection. I can only own 3-5 cars at a time. When I get the urge to try something new, I have to rotate one or two cars out of my meager collection. If I had my way, I would own at least 25 all at once. I am not sure why you have made so many assumptions about me. But I am not the actual owner of this particular car! I gave it to my brother. And since he has NO experience of selling cars on Ebay, I am acting as his surrogate, or representative. Out of the 81 cars I have owned in my life, I can assure you my record is a significant net loss. That I more than break even is a very rare event. As they say you make money when you BUY a car. I am way too apt to pay a bit too much as the enjoyment of ownership sometimes is priceless.
@@MostlyBuicks Thank you for the detailed reply - now I want to know what I can do to be another brother to have you give me a car :) I am pretty sure that I am somewhere between negative $200k to negative $300k on the collector cars I have owned - but like you I've had loads of fun over the last 45 years! Good luck with the eBay auction, you might find a better audience on Bring A Trailer that seems to attract more experienced collectors.
@@MostlyBuicks I’m just curious what sort of insurance you have on your collection of 3 to 5 cars. Is it a separate policy from your personal daily driver vehicles? In my case, I have a beautiful low mileage 1994 Eldorado. 24,000 miles when I bought it 3 years ago. I paid a good bit for it and I also addressed issues with tires, brakes, plugs, wires, coils, etc., so I have a good bit of money in the car. But it’s a jewel, so I don’t care. But if it’s completely destroyed I want to recoup the amount of $ I have put into it, not the “blue book value”, which for a 30 year old gas guzzler is probably only several hundred dollars.
@@MostlyBuicks I currently have my Eldorado on my regular car insurance with a “stated value”. Stated value is the particular term used in Pennsylvania. But it seems my premium for the Eldorado is uber expensive considering how little I drive the car. I figure there has to be a better way, and I will explore Haggerty. THANK YOU!
Did you know that the entire slogan is "When better cars are built, Buick will build them."? So what is your preferred car maker? I personally would take a Chevy over most. I fact I will rank them according to my preference: 1. Buick. 2. Cadillac. 3. Pontiac or Oldsmobile. 4. Chevrolet. 5. Lincoln. 6. Mercury. 7. Ford. I like some Studebakers. Not a Mopar fan! (except 1963-1966 Dodge Darts, Plymouth Valiants and 1964-66 Barracudas) And the ONLY non US car that has ever interested me is a 1969-1971 Mercedes 280SL.
Incredible car. Nothing beats a low mileage original unrestored car. New owner will be thrilled with this gem.
What an awesome color inside and out! I have a 1994 Eldorado, maybe just a tiny bit darker on the outside and gray leather inside. The crazy thing about mine is it looks awesome at night in the rain under insanely bright shopping center lights!

75 and 76 are my favorite Caddys. This one is exceptional. I've never seen that color. It's easily worth what they are asking.

The thing that impressed me the most was that it actually rains in Arizona!
3rd wettest monsoon on record, after last year's one of the driest.
BEAUTIFULL! BEAUTIFULL!BEAUTIFULL! Has been my dream car all these years.
love the Deville as my grandmother had a 1979 Coupe version in colonial yellow with saddle brown leather interior
This was perhaps one of the last times when a Cadillac was a Cadillac!

Thank you. Don't worry here in Arizona it is a dry rain.
Real Nice car but about $20,000 too expensive

@@CH67guy1 I use Haggerty declared value classic car insurance. But you HAVE to have at least one car on conventional insurance for your daily driver.
@@MostlyBuicks I currently have my Eldorado on my regular car insurance with a “stated value”. Stated value is the particular term used in Pennsylvania. But it seems my premium for the Eldorado is uber expensive considering how little I drive the car. I figure there has to be a better way, and I will explore Haggerty. THANK YOU!
turned over
Not likely
That kind of money in this hyperinflationary Obiden economy? I dont believe it!
Well it sold two years ago. For $33K.
Better cars are built? Are you serious? These were overpriced piles of shit chevrolets in disguise...
Did you know that the entire slogan is "When better cars are built, Buick will build them."? So what is your preferred car maker? I personally would take a Chevy over most. I fact I will rank them according to my preference: 1. Buick. 2. Cadillac. 3. Pontiac or Oldsmobile. 4. Chevrolet. 5. Lincoln. 6. Mercury. 7. Ford. I like some Studebakers. Not a Mopar fan! (except 1963-1966 Dodge Darts, Plymouth Valiants and 1964-66 Barracudas) And the ONLY non US car that has ever interested me is a 1969-1971 Mercedes 280SL.
Love the sound of real thunder in the background 🥰⛈🏎
