The sixth-generation Eldorado, produced from 1963 to 1966, was Cadillac's ultimate personal luxury statement. Sharing its basic structure with the DeVille, the Eldorado distinguished itself with unique styling, a standard convertible body, and a higher level of standard equipment. These cars featured clean, slab-sided bodywork penned by GM's design chief Bill Mitchell, with power initially coming from a 340 hp 390 cubic-inch V8, later upgraded to a 429 cubic-inch V8 for 1964.
Collectors appreciate the sixth-gen Eldorado for its combination of elegant styling, top-down cruising capability, and V8 power. As the last of the rear-wheel-drive Eldorado convertibles before the model's major FWD redesign in 1967, it holds a special place for purists. With production numbers much lower than other Cadillac models of the era, they offer a degree of exclusivity. The market today is highly dependent on condition, with a significant gap between tired examples and immaculately restored cars, reflected in an average sale price around $38,000.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest enemy. Thoroughly inspect the frame, floor pans, trunk floor, and lower body panels, especially behind stainless steel trim where moisture gets trapped.
- The 390 and 429 V8 engines are robust, but check for signs of overheating, coolant leaks from the water pump, and listen for lifter noise. The Turbo-Hydramatic transmission should shift smoothly without hesitation.
- Test every single power accessory. These cars are loaded with electric motors and vacuum systems for seats, windows, vents, and the convertible top. Diagnosing and repairing these systems can be complex and costly.
- Examine the convertible top's condition and operation. A worn or torn top is expensive to replace, and a slow or jerky hydraulic mechanism points to pending repairs for the pump or lines.
Prices range from around $2,500 for major projects to over $110,000 for immaculate, concours-level examples.
