The Eldorado was the flagship of the Cadillac division. It was luxurious, sporty, personal and elegant. The 1956 model year was the first time Eldorado buyers could opt for a hardtop or a convertible. This proved to be quite popular, giving Cadillac its highest Eldorado production thru the 1950s and 1960s.
A key element giving the Eldorado its sporting style was special quarter panels with open wheel wells that had aluminum wheels that were standard with the Eldorado along with a more pronounced fin and unique tail lights. The hardtop model had a vinyl top that was new and uncommon in 1956. Powering the Eldorado was a new 365 cubic-inch, 305 horsepower engine, with two four-barrel carburetors. A new Hydra-Matic transmission provided smooth shifting. Many optional equipment features were included in the Eldorado and the base price was $6,556. Air conditioning was optional and put the price tag over $7,000.
This example has been newly restored by the owner. The color of the car is Chantilly Maroon.
