1953 Cadillac Eldorado

In 1953, GM's Cadillac Division celebrated its 50th anniversary in style by launching the gorgeous Series 62-based Eldorado convertible. Based on the El Dorado Golden Anniversary concept that wowed spectators at GM's 1952 Motorama shows, the production Eldorado featured myriad amenities and cutting-edge styling that influenced all GM models during the 1950s. Cadillac applied its traditional engineering prowess to the Eldorado with the powerful 210 hp, 331 cid V-8 engine, Hydra-matic automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, power top, windows, and more. A disappearing convertible top was neatly stowed under the Eldorado's hard parade boot, and chrome wire wheels were standard.
