1976 Cadillac Eldorado Rancher (1/25) (fs)
Released in the 1970's and Made in Detroit, Michigan .
The Eldorado underwent a substantial redesign in 1971, growing two inches in length but six in wheelbase. The result was a rounder, much heavier looking automobile, made even more ponderous by the return of standard fender skirts. While Eldorado door glass remained frameless, the hardtop rear quarter windows were deleted, replaced by a fixed "opera window" in the widened "C" pillar.
1974 models featured a redesigned rear bumper, horizontal taillights, fine mesh grille and a redesigned instrument panel, marketed in sales literature as "space age" and shared with the Calais, De Ville and Sixty Special.
For 1975, the Eldorado was given rectangular headlamps, full rear wheel openings and crisper lines which resulted in a much sleeker appearance reminiscent of the 1967-70 models. The seventh generation Eldorados would run for three more years. The 1976 Eldorado is a perfect example of this beautiful American classic.
