American classic 1984 Cadillac Eldorado in a "time capsule" state is put up for sale (48 photos)

The odometer of the 40-year-old car has barely crossed a hundred miles.





In the fall of 1978 in the USA, when the public is traditionally presented with the range of cars of the next model year, something terrible happened. The new, tenth generation of the luxury two-door Cadillac Eldorado unexpectedly for many radically shrank in size.

As if to console the model received a digital instrument panel and a trip computer, as well as an optional roof made of bare stainless steel. An economical diesel appeared in the line of 8-cylinder engines, and a couple of years later - the first 6-cylinder unit for the brand. And also that same ill-fated system of disabling part of the 8-6-4 cylinders, due to the design imperfection, which spoiled the blood of the owners of these cars quite a bit.

However, the innovations were to the taste of the Americans - and 1979 was marked by a surge in sales of the relatively compact 5.2-meter "Eldorado", of which 67,436 were sold against 46,816 full-size cars of the previous year, whose length was almost 5.7 meters. Moreover, five years later, already at the end of the production cycle, when sales volumes usually fall to a minimum level, "Eldorado", on the contrary, reached peak figures - 76-77 thousand cars sold!

Now one of the not so rare representatives of the tenth generation Eldorado that has survived to this day is sold through the intermediary of the Vanguard Motors office. The hefty price tag of $59,900 is explained by the fact that we are talking about a new car, since the mileage of this silver-colored Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz with a pewter sheen is only 117 miles. As if it was just picked up from a dealer in the neighboring city and driven home.

The derated 4.1-liter V8 with its passport 135 hp (258 Nm) aggregated with a 4-speed automatic is unlikely to inspire fans of fast driving. But the top-end Biarritz gradation implies equipping the interior with all available comfortable options from the GM catalog, including a full power package, an audio system with symphonic sound and a leather interior with natural wood trim. Plus the already mentioned stainless steel roof with vinyl trim at the rear.
