1995 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible ETC

The Cadillac nameplate ran from 1953 to 2002 across 12 generations, and this car belongs to the twelfth and final generation produced 1992-2002. That generation was offered in the base Eldorado and ETC (Eldorado Touring Coupe) trim, and adopted the Northstar V8 partway through its run, replacing the 4.9L L26 V8 used in 1992-1993. Unlike the tenth-generation Eldorado, which Cadillac officially reintroduced as a factory-optioned, VIN coded convertible built by American Sunroof Corporation for the 1984-1985 model years, the twelfth generation Eldorado was never offered as a factory convertible. Cars like this one instead went through Coach Builders Limited, an aftermarket coachbuilder that converted Eldorado coupes into convertibles each year in the 1990's with GM sanction, with fewer than 400 built in total, making this a genuinely rare variant within the already-limited-production nameplate's final generation. For 1995, Cadillac equipped the Eldorado with an updated Integrated Chassis Control System, standard equipment.
