    Damn beautiful car,the 74-76 is the best looking Caddie ever . 74 is my favorite, they look best black on black and any 92 or older real Caddie (rwd boats) look better with a vinyl top

    I had a 75 Coupe devil. Yeah the mileage was horrible but man I miss it! I believe this had the “Fleetwood Lite” option which gave it the wreath and crest hood ornament, padded roof and opera lights. He’s lucky the CdV only had rear panel fills unlike the Eldorado which had huge ones up front as well. It’s worth the paint investment, tell him I said so 👌

    Ha, I have a 77 Eldo with those fiberglass fillers, and TBH, they suck ! I heard that shops, if they do them, want like 3K to 3500. And after screwing around, I NOW know why. Hours and hours and I don't even know how they are going to look once I prime and block them, as for this 76 caddy, it has the fillers and looks a lot better than without them. I like this car and had I found one at a reasonable price, I would have one. The eldo was a reasonable price, but since it sat 20+ years, everything you touch or is next to what you touch, wants attention. typical old car stuff - brakes, gas tank, carb rebuild, new radiator....these cars have a nylon coated timing gear and the nylon comes off and can get stuck in the oil pick up tube. I like these old, big, luxury cars.

    About the only thing vinyl tops hide is rust, but I've always liked the look on vinyl tops on muscle cars.
    Vinyl tops were popular from about the mid 60s to about the mid 70s and they were in various colors. Vinyl tops were so popular that the auto parts sold spray on vinyl for that faux look.
