Classic Car Rentals: Rent a Cadillac Eldorado 1976 Convertible in Beverly Hills!
The 1976 Cadillac Eldorado was the last convertible produced in the factory in the 1970s era. Announced in 1976 by general motors that this would be the last convertible of the decade.
This year saw the Eldorado equipped with a fuel injected 500 CI, 8.2 liter, V8 engine.
The fender skirts were dropped in 1975 and the Eldorado, got a new face with four rectangular headlamps. 1975 also proved to be the first year for the catalytic converters and output on the 500 V8 dropped to 190-horsepower. However, fuel injection was offered as an option for the first time, and it improved drivability and pumped up output to 215 horsepower.
By 1976, there was a new grille and revised taillights, and later in the year, the Biarritz name returned as a glitzy luxury package. The last 200 Eldorado convertibles off the line were all white and served as a de facto "last convertible special edition." Though '76 Eldorado convertibles were snapped up and stored by some collectors, they weren't particularly rare (14,000 were made) and, as it turned out, they weren't the last American convertibles, or even the last Eldorado convertibles.
