Stunning 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible- Only 33K Miles – 3-Owner Car - MINT
Vehicle Description
IntroductionThis 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible is a true time capsule with just 33,000 actual miles and only three documented owners since new. Finished in its factory Firethorn Red with matching red leather interior and white convertible top, this car is a stunning example of Cadillac's final year for the big convertibles. The car has been preserved in outstanding condition, with one high-end repaint and meticulous care throughout its life. It's fully loaded, highly original, and turn-key ready.
Story & ProvenanceThis Eldorado was purchased by John A. Pring, a well-known philanthropist, businessman, and land developer who helped shape Spokane Valley, Washington. Pring was involved in everything from banking and construction to car dealerships and aviation. He purchased two matching Eldorado convertibles in 1976-this one being kept at one of his properties. After his passing in 1992, the car was gifted to the property caretaker, who coveted the car and later relocated to Southern California. It remained in his care until his passing, at which point it was lovingly maintained by his family until it was sold to the current seller. The car retains its original manuals, documents, and evidence of its unique history-including paperwork addressed to Pring's original dealership.
