Cadillac has always been a name synonymous with high quality. It is a brand of luxury automobiles that has spawned a number of vehicles belonging to the highest class. One of these vehicles is the Cadillac Eldorado. It is a vehicle that has ultimately defined the idea of a personal Cadillac.

 

The first Cadillac Eldorado, upon production, was a special-bodied, low-production convertible. Stylish and powerful, it featured a wraparound windshield, a dipped beltline and a metal cover that hid its top when it was down. Custom coachwork as well as luxury features comprised the totality of this elegant, one-in-a-million vehicle. It did not come cheap during that time, but its skyrocketing cost was compensated for by its very own grandiose features.

 

The Cadillac Eldorado introduced the legendary hand-built Brougham four-door in 1957, making it America's first true pillarless four-door vehicle. It was also, during that time, the first car to feature quad headlamps. All the equipment the Cadillac Eldorado carried then was all novel. This is what contributed to the iconic status the vehicle has achieved in the history of American automobiles.

 

Although the Cadillac Eldorado has undergone revised styling every so often, the status quo it has been identified with is almost always retained. This is the reason why the vehicle has been able to maintain its appeal throughout the years. With high quality, luxury and beauty crafted into it during its making, the Cadillac Eldorado remains the most well-equipped and the most elegantly finished convertible in its time.
