1955 Cadillac Eldorado Sport Convertible Coupe

1955 was the first year for 'rocket-ship' tail fins which became a styling feature for all Cadillacs through 1959. The original sticker price was $5,814. Production was limited to 3,950 Eldorados in 1955. It was the first year for dual 4-barrel carburetors, 270 HP engine. First-year for aluminum 'Sabre Spoke' wheels, made by Alcoa/Kelsey Hayes

General Motors was at the top of its game in 1955, and in that high-octane, sizzling sales year, nothing screamed 'success' like a Cadillac Eldorado.

After a very successful restyle in 1954, the Cadillac line was carefully refined for 1955. The biggest changes were reserved for the line-topping Eldorado Convertible, which featured unique rear-deck styling with sharp-edged tailfins, circular tail lamps, and 'jet-pod' exhaust outlets. The crisp new look exuded prestige and previewed styling other Cadillac models would adopt in 1957.

This Eldorado was built on December 20, 1954, and was first sold in the Los Angeles area. The original price of this Bahama Blue beauty was over $6,900. The current owner purchased the convertible in 1981. A restoration commenced in 1989 and after several stops and starts, the car was finally returned to its original glory in 2007.
