One thing I remember about the El Dorado was the absence of the drive train hump in the backseat floor. They were gas guzzlers at a time just after the big energy crisis, and yet people still bought them. Some 50 years later we see a reluctant N American market really looking at a sustainable, EV future. Really enjoyed the video and expert navigator. Thanks for sharing your land yacht!
WHAT A NICE SURPRISE to see a young person actually presenting and enjoying features of a vehicle from a by gone era that was built decades before he was even born , very odd ( in a GOOD WAY)
good job!! cadillac is my favorite car ever since i was a kid in the 70s because i thought they were the only car with power windows. i thought that was so cool!
Nice color , I especially like the color coded wheel covers. Next video take us for a ride and remember to blow that Unique sounding Cadillac Trumpet triple horn👍
Wow! A beautiful example. It's surprising that a right hand mirror wasn't part of the package. I'm 61 and have always wanted a Cadillac, so I'm starting my search
That's the On/Off switch for the Cruise Control. The button to engage it is still on the end of the signal stalk. That is a replacement antenna, and no longer will work with the C.B. function. The Factory antenna was flush with the fender.
very nice presentation young Sir! These Cadillacs have a road presence unlike anything else, they virtually command attention. The terms excess and exuberance come to mind. I understand that they offered amenities and tech features well ahead of their time, such as for example a „soft close“ on their rear trunk lid, They are ultra luxurious and comfortable and offer a cushioned ride, and their massive 500+ cubic inch V8 works effortlessly and never breaks a sweat moving the car.
Really enjoyed the video. Glad to be a new subscriber. Can’t wait to binge watch all the videos. Great to see a new generation of car enthusiasts who appreciate cars from my era.
I’m glad you can appreciate cars from those decades. I’ve always enjoyed the plush interiors of those cars. Unfortunately, you don’t find them in any new cars. You’re doing a nice job describing the cars.
I'm always very surprised at the number of Cadillacs from the 70s and 80s that were brown. I wouldn't think brown would be such a popular color for cars. That being said, this is a beautiful and well preserved example. I am glad to see this young man having an interest in the old car hobby.
Nice job, buddy! Yes, the 70s were Very Brown and Harvest Gold! Some pretty cool cars came out of the 70s though a lot of therm way underpowered because of Emission Laws.
Fun to see a young man your age checking out one of these old Caddies. I'm a fan of these also a family member had one that was a convertible that I used to get to ride in as a kid. There is a pretty good chase scene in "The Terminator" with a blue Eldorado if you haven't seen it I recommend checking it out.
Back in the day only rich people like doctors and lawyers would drive these bad ass cars, other people drove them only to church to show how much god had blessed them! 🧑🏼⚕🧑🏼⚕🩺🩺🤑🤑
I’m at the point now where I JUST DON’T like where the auto industry is going …. The technology that have to be serviced at a dealership rather than being able to work on our own for those that were willing 👎🏿 the design where much of it looks identical to everything else 👎🏿 and especially trying to forcing us into these ev’s not to mention making vehicles so expensive that average people almost unable to buy or keep up with the humongous monthly payments 😒 Im still driving my 05 Dodge Dakota not because I can’t afford anything new there’s just nothing made out here now that impresses me enough to purchase any of it …. For my next vehicle I’m hoping I can find one with low mileage in very good condition that was made b4 infotainment screens were put in them
I'm so glad as a young man, that you enjoy these big ole Caddys! I certainly do too!
Love to see my generation loving those big boxy giant cars. Love the boxes
great job, nice to know young ppl like u appreciate these cars.
I’ve always kept this in mind! I’m PROUD of it!😎
Cool! There's a 1:18 scale model of this '78 Eldorado in the same brown on Ebay. It's expensive but spot on with the detail.

You did great man reviewing one of Americas most beautiful and legendary cars. BRAVO.. !!!! Cadillac - The Standard of the World.

I just figured out that the trunk motor was not standard. This is a very odd car, and I forgot to note that there’s no passenger mirror!

You are adorable!!!!!!! I love the car and the color and Dixon Cadillac was where I serviced my cars!

Good job my dude, she's def a classic!
I remember these cars. Built as long as my house, but I always thought VERY styliish.
Very nice sense of humor😋😉

Great car, and huge bonus that the bumper fillers are intact. I grew up with malaise era cars, and I'm glad they're getting some attention now.
I love the old Cadillac's. That is a nice one.

Gorgeous car, not a brown fan, but love this one!
Glad you like a big Cadillac (and that is a BIG Cadillac). Enjoy it but keep it forever even if you buy an economical car for every day
You presented this really well.

I have seen that one. Sad that the car most likely went to the crusher after that.
Nice job on the review, handsome =). Keep up the good work!
Last of the GM big bombers & I wish I could find something like it w/o getting ripped off.
Those engines were more about torque then power. Positive, they could run all day without being stressed.
That's a clean Caddy!
A real 37k mile car!
You have good taste.

Love to own this Cadillac! Are you going to sale this Cadillac?
No. Unfortunately this isn’t my car. I’m just reviewing it.
@@MalaiseEra okay thanks for the information 🖖✌️💪
The last of the big ones
Shocking it’s only 180 horse power. I don’t remember them being sluggish I see to recall that being a 500 cubic inch engine?
1976 was the last year for the 500

Wait until you start having to replace those plastic bumper fillers!
THIS IS MY WORST NIGHTMARE.
Umm...what's with the creepy pose at the beginning of the video?
No disrespect meant but to this old man you don’t look old enough to drive.
lol I get this a lot.
So purrrrrrdy😍 I love my old GMs!
