Editor’s Note: We love scouring the internet for reasons to spend money we don’t have on cars we daydream about owning, and these are our picks this week. All prices listed are bid amounts at the time of publishing.
When you look at the upper echelon of luxury cars, it becomes apparent that the best experience to be had is being in the back seat, which in some cases — especially those of the incredibly rich — is the owner. But when it comes to the cream of the crop of luxury coupes, that’s certainly not the case. Which is why luxury coupes are an interesting breed. They’re meant to provide all the creature comforts of the four-door stablemates, but for an owner who still enjoys the drive itself — luxury coupes are therefore a different kind of “driver’s car,” but still a driver’s car nonetheless. And there’s no better way to enjoy a leisurely jaunt in the lap of luxury than with the sun on your face and the wind in your hair.
1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible
What we like: American luxury is quite possibly seeing a resurgence, but there’s no denying the Golden Age was in the ’60s and ’70s. Cadillac easily sat at the pinnacle of the segment, and the Eldorado was one of its best. 1976 also happened to be the last year the Eldorado came as a convertible. The next-generation Eldorado came in ’79, but it was a mere shell of its predecessor.
From the seller: This 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible shows 35,000 miles and is finished in Kingswood Green Metallic with a light buckskin leather interior. The seller acquired this example in May 2017, and states that the car saw very limited use over the last five years.
Mileage: 35,121
Location: Brentwood, Tennessee
