Recognized for its quality on a national level, this 1954 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible has received an AACA National Senior First Prize (1989) and the AACA Museum Expo Premier Award (1996). A beautiful motorcar in the tradition the Cadillac marque alone can bring, this is one of only 2,150 Eldorado convertibles produced in 1954, a year that saw the debut of the fourth-generation Series 62 model design. This car has an odometer reading of 67,143 miles and showcases the Eldorado level of opulence. Starting under the hood, the car is powered by the Cadillac 331 CI V-8, its 4-barrel carburetor topped with a twin-opening air cleaner, aqua engine pain and AC Delco accessory lettering.
This is backed by an automatic transmission, and the car is further equipped with power steering and brakes. The exterior and soft top are covered in black, with a parade fiberglass cover for the top included in the sale. As is traditional for this era, the word Eldorado does not appear on the body itself—the telling icon to this premium offering was gold plating on the Cadillac emblems and the use of additional chrome trim that did not appear on other, less expensive examples. The interior is done in black leather and features a two-spoke steering wheel, power windows, seats and top, beige accent trimming, functional factory headlight dimmer and a functional factory spotlight.
The tasteful grille was distinctive with its horizontal slates that run to the edges of the front fenders and chrome Dagmar points on the upper bumper drawn together by a thin line of chrome, proudly wearing the AACA accolade plates. A gorgeous wire-spoke wheel design with red Cadillac-crest centers and wide whitewall tires are the final touches on this car, which lives up to the storied reputation for which the Eldorado has always been recognized.
