1953 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible for sale! Motorcar Classics is pleased to present this 1953 Cadillac Eldorado convertible featured in white with a black interior and matching black convertible top. The name Eldorado comes from the Spanish words el dorado, the "gilded one". The Cadillac Motor Car Division of General Motors selected the name for a special convertible show car built in 1952 to celebrate the company's Golden Anniversary. The company later adopted it for the limited-production Eldorado convertible built in limited numbers the following year. It made its official debut on September 20, 1952. For the 1953 model year, Cadillac proudly presented the classic new Cadillac El Dorado. Its rugged chassis offered superb riding characteristics, better roadability, greater comfort, easier handling and more safety features than ever before offered in one American open-type car. What's more, it was powered by the great new Cadillac 210-horsepower engine. Add to this combination the fact that Cadillac stylists had created a special convertible body that sets a new pace in seating room, style and beauty ...and the result was the exciting new El Dorado.

With its low-cut doors and roofline, white whitewall tires, hard boot, and chrome wire wheels, the lines of the 1953 Eldorado are unmistakable. Our Eldorado is a rare survivor, one of only 532 built. It is an honest and attractive driver-level car that can be enjoyed immediately.
