Cadillac Eldorado 1953 posters


Cadillac Eldorado

The Cadillac Eldorado was a model of luxury car produced by the US car manufacturer Cadillac from 1953 to 2002. It was the longest-running American personal luxury car, outlasting all its competitors such as the Mark Series and the Buick Riviera. The car name was derived from the Spanish phrase "el dorado", meaning “the gilded one”, and was inspired by a legendary chief of a S. American tribe, as well as the European expeditions including one to the Orinoco by Sir Walter Raleigh in search of a legendary city of gold. History The Cadilla Eldorado was first created for Cadillac's Golden Anniversary show in 1952 as the result of an in-house competition won by Mary-Ann Zukosky (later Marini). It was also inspired by the Eldorado Country Club in California, a favourite destination of General Motors executives. This special limited-edition convertible was then added to production in 1953. Throughout its long manufacturing period, Cadilla Eldorado models always represented the highest-level vehicles of Cadillac's lineup. While the Eldorado Brougham models of 1957-1960 were the most expensive, standard models were also highly luxurious, featuring long wheel-bases sedans and limousines.
