Cadillac Eldorado Bicentennial Edition, 1976

Location: Santa Monica, California

$31,900 USD | Sold

In 1976, while the United States was celebrating its 200th birthday, it was announced that it would be the last year of production for an American made convertible. Cadillac was the only manufacturer to offer a convertible, with the “Bicentennial” as the most exclusive version, a limited production of only 200 units. The last 200 cars were identically finished in white, with red and blue pinstripes and white convertible top. Interiors were trimmed in white leather with red piping. The dash and carpeting are finished in bright red. On the passenger side dashboard is a plaque indicating its significance as a special edition.

Also included is the factory fiberglass parade boot, owner’s manuals, and even a selection of eight track tapes for the factory tape deck. The example offered has covered only 29,628 miles since new, and is in exceptional condition. The interior carpeting has little to no wear and the white leather seats are supple. This sale is a rare opportunity to buy a piece of American automotive history.
