Photo Feature: 1953 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible

摘要

The first Cadillac Eldorado cost almost double the price of a Series 62 convertible in 1953, yet Cadillac probably lost money on every one it sold because of the extensive special tooling required for a limited-production car. The Eldorado was based on a show car displayed in 1952 to commemorate Cadillac's 150th anniversary. The name Eldorado, from the Spanish el dorado, meaning "the gilded one," tied in with the marque's golden anniversary.
