1976 marked the sixth production year for the ninth-generation Eldorado.  For 1975, Cadillac stylists gave the Eldorado rectangular headlamps, a new egg-crate grille, full rear wheel openings (eliminating fender skirts), and sharper lines, all of which resulted in a much sleeker appearance, reminiscent of the 1967–70 models, even though at just under 19 feet, it was much longer than the earlier generation car.  Having received a major facelift the previous year, the Eldorado for 1976 received only minor styling changes, including a new grille, a small Cadillac script on the hood face, revised taillamp lenses, and new black painted wheel covers.

1976 not only marked the final year for the convertible model, but Cadillac also marketed it as the last American convertible as, by that time, no other domestic manufacturers offered a folding top model.  That is how Cadillac pitched the 1976 Fleetwood Eldorado, even showing a buyer of two putting one in storage he could enjoy later on in their commercial for the car that year:

With that kind of marketing, many affluent buyers took Cadillac’s advice and purchased 1976 Cadillac Eldorado convertibles as investments they stored immediately.  As a result, many extremely low mileage examples remain collector quality to this day.  This Phoenician Ivory over tan leather example, with only 7,300 original miles, is no exception.  As you find in the picture gallery below, this 1976 Cadillac Eldorado convertible for sale also happens to be a very well-optioned example featuring fuel injection and the parade boot.

While the previous owners did not keep maintenance records documenting the extremely low miles, the like-new leather interior and original flexible bumper guards all point to an extremely low mileage survivor car.  Furthermore, the extensive undercarriage photographs confirmed any reasonable person would agree this is a low-mileage original example of a well-maintained survivor.

The current caretaker notes that they have spent $6,000 in maintenance during their ownership to ensure their 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible provides carefree, top-down driving. Recent receipts documenting the maintenance completed can be found in the picture gallery below.  This is a turn-key, low-mileage 1976 Cadillac Eldorado convertible you can fly in and drive home if desired.
