Summary[edit]

Description Though based on the Series 62 convertible, the 1953 Eldorado was the first Cadillac with a wraparound windshield. It featured a dipped beltline and a metal cover that hid the top when it was down, and it came with virtually everything standard — including leather upholstery, radio, heater, windshield washer, Hydramatic automatic transmission, power steering and whitewall tires on real wire wheels. The engine, however, remained the 210 horsepower 331-cubic-inch OHV V8 found in all 1953 Caddies. Still, all that custom coachwork and luxury features didn't come cheap, and the Eldorado carried a big $7,750 base price — almost $2,000 more than the next-most-expensive Cadillac, the Fleetwood 75 Imperial eight-passenger limousine. That's also more than twice the price of the $3,498 Corvette. It was no surprise then that only 532 Eldorados were sold that year.
