1954 Cadillac Eldorado Special Convertible
Fabulous 50’s Styling
In the early 50’s Cadillac had just recently
surpassed Packard as being the premiere luxury car builder in
North
America
, producing some incredible cars and what would
become famous styling features. For 1953 Cadillac unveiled a new flagship model
Eldorado with incredible features and styling, from wrap around windshields to
the early days of the finned 50’s, a full compliment of power features such as
power seats, windows, convertible tops and signal seeking radios and 331 cu in
engines. The popularity of this model only grew as years went on.
Presented here is a stunning example of the 1954
Cadillac Eldorado convertible. Finished in red with corresponding red leather
interior, this is one of only 2,150 produced for this model year. All the
brilliant styling characteristics of the 50’s can be found starting with the
massive chrome front bumper with large grille, the wrap around windshield, small
fender skirts with aluminum body side accents and the early signs of the fins
on the back, finished off with the exhaust exiting through the outlets in the rear
bumper. Slide into the soft leather of the driver seat and you are welcomed by a
large diameter steering, more chrome and aluminum trim and treated to many
conveniences you would only expect today; power seat with vertical adjustment,
power windows, power convertible top, the optional signal seeker radio, heater
and much more. Mechanically this car features the 331 cu in, 220hp V8 engine
and Hydramatic transmission, power brakes wrapped with the chrome wire wheels
and wide white wall tires. When new these cars were a true sign of class and social
significance, to this day they have an incredible presence which is impossible
to ignore. This car represents an incredible opportunity to obtain a rare
example of a desirable model with perhaps the most attractive colours and
options, great for the enthusiast looking to cruise or the collector searching
for an example of 50’s ingenuity and styling!!!
