  • In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 1975 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

      They need a new exhaust, 2.5" single exhaust is bad enough but the factory cat really choked it. Run a 2.5" into 3" y-pipe and 3" back to a Dynomax Super Turbo muffler and no cat, it'll run a lot better and still be quiet, just a very mild rumble.

    these are my favorite cadillac models, and i have been after one of these for years now, and i've been in love with them since i first saw one in a movie when i was too young to even know what a cadillac actually was here in germany. unfortunately you hardly ever get anywhere near them here in germany and if you do they are not for sale, understandably so as this embodies a very distinctive era and you can't help but admire them if you are lucky and get to see one going down the road. :)

    "Rock and Roll Band" by Boston. Now when you do tours of old cars like this one, that's the kind of music that should be playing on the radio, songs that were popular back in the 70s and 80s. Maybe you purposely tune into a station that plays classic 70s rock everytime you turn on the radio in old cars. It would be awesome if one of your car tour videos has the Cars' song "Shake it up" playing on the radio!

    I own a 73 red/red El Dorado Convertible. Car is absolutely beautiful, drives like you're on a cloud! It's also got about 60 more horsepower than this model, as every year from 73 on had a decrease in both power and fuel economy due to tighter emission regulations.

      Maybe in styling and comfort, but the oil crisis made all cars go downhill with the ridiculous restrictions. A huge engine that wasn't even putting out 200hp is atrocious, especially compared to the 60's equivalents of any brand.

    May have had low HP, but had well over 500 ft/lbs of torque. Most Eldos had a 3.07 final drive. They were stout enough to be used as replacement motors in 1973-1978 GMC motorhomes in place of the factory Olds 455's.Those weigh 15000 lbs & had little trouble running to near 100 flat out.
