Cadillac's 1953 Eldorado convertible was so different from the standard Cadillac convertible that the fenders, trunk lid, and floor pan are the only components shared. Only 532 were built and this is one of just 43 produced in Aztec Red. 'Longer, lower and wider' was not just an advertising slogan. The Eldorado's ground clearance was an inch lower than standard Cadillac production convertibles. The substantial amount of skilled labor that was required to build each Eldorado was expensive and rumors still circulate among Cadillac insiders that GM Luxury Division lost money on each car but kept the model alive for publicity and to summon prestige and public interest. It seemed to have worked. Dwight D. Eisenhower rode to his first inauguration in a white Eldorado followed by a diverse fleet of new 1953 Cadillacs.
