Quick Answer
The most collectible Eldorados are the 1953-1958 Biarritz convertibles and the 1967-1970 front-wheel-drive coupes, especially the 1970 with its 500 cubic inch V8. The 1976 Eldorado convertible, sold as "the last American convertible," is the other blue-chip, particularly the white Bicentennial Edition cars.

Eldorado collectibility clusters around the design landmarks.

The picks

  • 1953-1958 Biarritz: hand-finished early convertibles, very valuable.
  • 1967-1970 FWD coupe: razor-edge styling; the 1970 got the huge 500 V8.
  • 1976 convertible: marketed as the last American convertible; Bicentennial cars carry a premium.

Buyer's note

On 1979-1985 cars, watch the HT-4100 V8 and the V8-6-4, and avoid the 350 diesel.
