RM Sotheby’s
-
This example of a 1967 Cadillac Eldorado, from the Favazzo Collection, was presented at the RM Sotheby’s Auburn Fall 2021 auction.
-
This car’s Sable Black interior is accented with houndstooth inserts.
-
Under the hood is a 429-cubic-inch V-8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission.
-
A two-door hardtop coupé, the 1967 Cadillac Eldorado followed the Oldsmobile Toronado, introduced the year prior, by using GM’s brand-new, front-wheel-drive E-Body platform, also shared by the rear-wheel-drive 1963 Buick Riviera.
-
This example retains its factory air conditioning, AM/FM radio, and clock.
-
Under the hand of GM styling chief Bill Mitchell, the Eldorado traded the Buick Riviera’s streamlined form for a more angular shape.
-
For the 1967 and ’68 model years, the Cadillac Eldorado featured concealed front headlamps, which were a first for any Cadillac.
-
Expect to pay around $70,000 for a concours-quality 1967 model, while an example in “good” condition can be acquired for about a third of that cost.
