1958 Cadillac Eldorado

Throughout Cadillac’s star-studded past, few models shine as brightly as the Eldorado. Launched in 1953, the range-topping Caddy was an ultra-exclusive flagship model that attracted buyers from President Eisenhower to Elvis Presley. By the end of the decade, the redesigned four-door model cost more than a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud and was considered one of the most elegant cars in the world. In 1967, the Eldorado was re-imagined as a radical two-door “personal luxury coupe,” kicking off one of the most popular segments of the late ’60s and ’70s, and becoming the second front-wheel drive car ever built by General Motors. Proving that there’s plenty of magic left in these old Caddys, this 1958 example was sold at this year’s Amelia Island auction by RM Sotheby’s for $148,500.
