1955 Cadillac Eldorado Sport Convertible Coupe

The 1955 Cadillac Eldorado got dramatic new rear-end styling for 1955. Gone were the traditional fish tail fins, replaced by a pair of sweeping, pointed tail fins right off a rocket ship. This very flashy Cadillac convertible also had full rear wheel cut-outs without fender skirts. The 1955 Eldorado got its own, exclusive hopped-up engine this year, too. It was a 270 horsepower version of Cadillac's 331 cubic-inch V8 equipped with dual four-barrel carburetors. Total production was a mere 3,950. The infamous hard parade boot and saber aluminum wheels were standard on the Eldorado.

This example has been fully restored with new paint, new chrome, new leather interior, and correct carpeting in the vehicle and also in the trunk area. The vehicle was purchased from a mid-west collection and was restored within the last year.
