Tom Vyse Your Toronado shared the drivetrain with the 1967 Eldorado. This '66 car was the last one to use the rear drive configuration. Trust me, the '67 is closer to your Toronado.
In 1966 the front wheel drive powertrain was exclusive to the Toronado. The next year Eldorado was also switched to FWD using the same transaxle, but mated to the Cadillac 429 cu in engine instead of the Oldsmobile 425 cu in engine used in the Toronado.
Just awesomely beautiful my favorite year 66, the color is great and white interior there is nothing better, when a see a convertible with black interior it is the worst thing to sit on when the sun is shining, it is so hot you burn!
Hi! They were identical cars except for exterior and interior trim differences. For '65 and '66 the Eldorado has rocker panel chrome and real wood in the interior. The DeVille did not; however the DeVille had GORGEOUS thick chrome molding on the door belt line and B pillar. If I owned this car, I would transplant that chrome molding from the DeVille to it. You would think the more expensive Eldorado would have had that rather than the DeVille.
Excellent presentation I like the fact it has a glass rear window, as us Cadillac devotees kwow. Some came plastic but I have a question. What color does this one show?
They both has leather upholstery standard. Only the Eldorado (and other Fleetwood models) had the genuine wood trim on the doors and quarter panels above the rear armrests. Either could be had with bucket seats and a center console. The original leather in both was perforated for greater comfort in hot weather. It appears that the leather in this example has been replaced. Power vents were standard on Eldorado and other Fleetwoods, optional on others. White sidewalls were only standard on the Eldorado, optional on all others.
Very well filmed. I used to own a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado, which I believe shared the same engine and drivetrain with this car. Powerful beast.

Beautiful Caddy. I also have a 66 Eldo and it will never come close to looking as good as this one.
This is the caddy I've always wanted right color right year. Right color seats. Now I need cash. Lol
What a YACHT. Which oceans did it navigate?
*Beautiful*
And it's not even my year.
What was the difference between a Coupe DeVille convertible and an ElDorado convertible in mid-60 Caddys?

Those '63 hubcaps don't look half bad on that car

Not a caddy person but it looks like a standard sedan Seville. Can someone tells me the difference
Is this car for sale? If so what are you asking. Thank you in advance for your attention.
As beautiful as it is , and it's missing a couple of horns. ☹️
Still wondering if this car is for sale? Would love to know!
Yes, owner decided not to sell a couple years ago but is thinking about it again this spring. It's in storage at the moment.
Hubcaps????
What was better the 66 Eldorado convertible or the 66 De Ville convertible?
The Eldorado was the premier model. It had extra features, like the power vent windows and standard leather upholstery. The De Ville was more basic.
Eldorado is always better than Deville.
They both has leather upholstery standard. Only the Eldorado (and other Fleetwood models) had the genuine wood trim on the doors and quarter panels above the rear armrests.

Was the leather in these cars coated in a similar way that modern automotive leather car seats are?
Fix the horns
