This car is owned by a couple who live in the same apartment complex that my folks live in. It is their 'once in a while' car. It was purchased new by his parents but his mother didn't like it immediately because it didn't have four doors. As a result of that his father parked the Eldorado in the garage and bought his wife a four door Cadillac instead. The Eldorado didn't get used much and still has low mileage on it now long after being given the the man and it still doesn't get driven much according to reports by my father. I like the whitewalls.

 

here are some more pictures. It looks like the paint is original to me.

 

The final few pics.

 

Thats pretty cool!

 

X2 !

Decades ago (80's) I was in AZ, NV, or CO ,,,somewhere out west....and I passed on the highway an Eldo of similar vintage. It had what kinda looked like big Cragar SS's, wide tires, was 'lifted' a bit in the rear, black interior, boxy chrome exh trumpets, and was bright fire engine red.

Looked like a giant hot-rod of the style back then. One of the wackiest & coolest cars I've seen...

 

VERY nice! I like the vintage plates...
That thing should be kept in a locked garage or at least away from others who will damage it.

 

Well, at least it is under cover and in a 'gated community' populated by older folks. That could be bad too though, as we all know, older folks sometimes have poorer driving skills than when they were younger.

 

Is it a 1967 or 1968 ?

 

I always loved those 67-68 Eldorado's. Okay, you guys can stone me but I think they were prettier than the Toronados. I am a little surprised by the wide whitewall. I don't think they came on them and in my opinion they kind of give it a gangster look but that is just my opinion. It looks like it is in great condition and see it came from Frank Kent Cadillac in Fort Worth. These are really classy cars.

 

Nice looking ride. Nothing beats floating down the road in your own fortress!
