The 1970 Cadillac Eldorado marked the end of perhaps the most storied periods in the history of GM.  The innovative designs and unrestrained power of the 60's would grind to a halt as the bloated excess of the 70's and the suffocating burdens of pollution control choked the life out of Detroit's most athletic and design-forward cars of that era. 
 
Behind its devilishly good looks, the 1970 Eldorado's high-compression 400 horse power engine generated a heart-stopping 550 foot pounds of torque that would catapult this 4,630 pound bad-boy-in-a-tuxedo from 0-60 in 7.8 seconds.  Having shed a few hundred pounds from its 67-69 predecessors, the 1970 Eldorado was faster than a stock Corvette off the line.  And, in spite of its huge power and weight displacement on the front-wheel drivetrain, you could smoke the tires from a dead stop and squeak them through first and second gear. Cadillac's gentlemen's rocket ship was said to "have the quiet manners of a country club gentleman with the soul of a rock star." 


There is debate about which of the 1967-1970 models was the fairest of them all, but my vote goes to the last of the breed.  It's clean front grill and exposed headlamps gave it a crispness and fresh design that perfectly framed the car's angular design and was the perfect exclamation point nearing the end of Bill Mitchell's venerable career and indelible impression on the automotive world.
 
This car is unique in many ways.  With 23,842 produced in 1970, only a handful were produced with the special vinyl top delete.  And although the "halo top" was an option, very few opted out and GM made the vinyl top pretty much standard fare on the Eldorado's final year of the H-body.  


This car doubles down on it's clean, crisp good looks and unique lines with a special order Medium Blue leather interior (#420).  Most black cars had...
