1967 Cadillac Eldorado in Gold & Ride on My Car Story with Lou Costabile 

Hi, If you like this video, please click on the 3 horizontal dots to reveal ❤ with the $ in the middle which is the SUPER THANKS button under the video. Thank you! Lou

Glad this dude has the means to bring this vehicle to level it deserves. It is the kind of car that should always survive so future generations can appreciate marvelous example of that era.

Cars like this Eldorado, the C2 Vettes, and '65 Riviera's prove that in the 60's GM was at the high point in automotive styling. We will never have another automotive era like that. I absolutely love your videos on all-original luxury cars from this era. This video was a special treat- to find a car like this with rare options in original condition is the perverbial 'needle in a haystack'. BTW Lou, I hope to took your shoes off before you put your feet on those white floor mats!

Oh, be still my heart! There are only two automobiles that are my absolute all-time favorites: the 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado, and the 1967 Cadillac Eldorado. Thank you Lou for showing Carl Rossi's beautiful Eldorado on My Car Story with Lou Costabile 👍

Truly one of my all time favorites, I remember when I was a kid, a neighbor had one, his was Aqua/Aqua without vinyl top, and bucket seats. He had several cars over the years, but always held onto that one until his death. His widow still has it in her garage.

Production of the 1967 Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado was only 17,930 units...but sales increased to around 24,000 units for the 1968, 1969, and 1970 model years. The styling was so advanced at the time that its body was difficult to engineer. Two separate stampings are used for the hood...with a long weld down the middle hidden by the chromed wind split moulding. Also, the rear fenders with the very sharp blades were difficult to manufacture due to sheetmetal tearing during stamping. Hidden headlights look cool but are often a warranty nightmare ... thus they were abandoned for 1969. Early Eldorados had bias belted tires that quickly wore out due to high weight and torque from the front-wheel drive (radial tires were introduced later as a huge improvement). The 1970 Eldorado had the monster 400 Horsepower 500 V-8, but the 1967 has the 429 V-8 (340 Horsepower) with the 472 V-8 used in both 1968/1969. A V-12 engine was considered during prototype stage but rejected due to cost and excessive fuel consumption (the long hood and massive engine bay remained). GM purposely introduced the Oldsmobile Toronado the previous model year to work out more bugs in the drivetrain. This example is in Baroque Gold Metallic with the $184 Contoured Bucket Seats and Console in Sandalwood (leather required for an additional $158). Automatic Climate Control A/C was an expensive $515, Front Disc Brakes were $105, and Vinyl Roof was $131 (tragically rots many great cars of that era). Interesting (and rare options) were front seat warmers (carbon heating pads underneath the upholstery) and headrests. Automatic Level Control was standard equipment.

Hi, Lou! If Cadillac was the "Standard of the World", this Eldorado is literally a gold standard of the world! A sensational masterpiece of styling by the styling master Bill Mitchell, without a doubt an automobile to be seen in! Carl sure made a smart decision to go down that rabbit hole! We're all very grateful you've given him the opportunity to show it to us on the channel and give us a virtual high-class ride!

I've always been fond of this generation of Eldorados and Mr. Rossi's looks fantastic! I'm looking forward to seeing some of his other cars, too. Thanks, Lou!

This Eldorado is amazing. It looks like it just rolled off the assembly line. Mucho kudos to Mr. Rossi for taking the time to make this car so awesome. Literally a two-thumbs up car. 👍👍

Spectacular Eldo! A true icon. Definitely from a different era. Basically peak GM. Thanks Lou!

Love the design of this car. The evolution of the Caddies from the tiny fins of the mid 50’s big fins of the late 50’s to early 60’s to this design is remarkable.

So sweet 🤙🏼 one the more iconic caddys ever produced,definitely ahead of it time for 67’ great shoot 💯

Late 60s was the most beautiful era for Cadillac and GM in general.

My uncle Jerry bought a NEW one in 67 in the same gold paint and no bucket seats - as a kid were were so impressed - Great Car Great Era - Make America Great Again

OMG!! CADILLAC NATIONALS??!! THIS CAR IS GREAT!! Oh Lou!!! I'm in heaven!! Bucket seats?! I thought they all were bench seats. Very cool car!!

Carl's '67 Eldorado just superb. Chiseled, Handsome, and Powerful. Just like you Lou! Thanks!

This car is from a time when real cars where made. - Beautiful car and with buckets too and so much more. - Absolute awesome!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing

Morning lou, another great car, that caddy was my favorite, I had a lot of favorites, once you own a caddy, the car the ride, we love big cars, women drove Cadillac, that was the car, just blow the horn only caddy had that beautiful horn sound. Take care Lou, God bless you

I had the 70 Eldo in gold . That car was a fast machine and drove like a dream. We named it The Golden Warrior! I loved the rear windows that slid into the body .

Love a nice old Caddy........ and this one does not disappoint! I've seen many variations of floor mats, but never in white!! Just stunning .......thanks Lou for bringing this one to your channel!

Those leather buckets and console are absolutely gorgeous. Especially, in white

Boy, Lou... That one truly is "full house". I've never seen one with every option. And what a CLEAN example! The only thing that's weird, is despite how incredibly clean and patina-free that particular car is, the vacuum plated chrome rims of the gauges in the dash look pitted. I've seen cars that were abandoned outside 40 years ago... Not a stitch of interior left in them, totally rusted out... But the dash panels look brand new. It's weird how that works out sometimes.

Car is in such good condition. Wonderful!

Internet says the '67 Eldorado had a 429 C I D engine. 😍😍😍😍😍 Thanks Lou!

I was in a supermarket in the 80's and saw on index card that said "Cadillac for sale called Dorothy" always liking Cadillacs I called I went over to her house and in the garage under an inch of dust was a 67 El Dorado just like this model triple black. It was a husband who had passed away I asked how much you wanted she said $250! I explained to her as much as I would like to take the car for $250 it was worth much more than that she refused to take the money so I arranged that I would always come by her house and mow her lawn and shovel the snow which I did still she passed away. Had that car for 20 years til was stolen 😡. Thanks Carl for sharing with Lou and his community

what a beautiful example of a 67 Cadillac and as I've said several times previously my late maternal grandfather had a 1968 Eldorado Seville in black with red trim Cadillac used that horn until the mid 1980s I remember from being a young child my late maternal grandmothers used 1981 Coupe Deville had that horn and a 427 CID V8 engine + a 4 speed TH200 4 R automatic transmission

429 CI; rear window crease was a hotwire process. Great car, fun video, thanks to the both of you.

Omg luv car when was a kid my dad had one a sixty eight the front lights popped up hidden he loved that car pluss had pop up hidden antenna he loved that car wonderful 😊 that cars for me is a terr jerker thxs very much

The 67 Eldorado was the most beautiful Cadillac of all time. Imo it looked better without a vinyl top. It was one of three Bill Mitchell masterpieces. The other two were the 63 Riviera & the 63 Corvette split window coupe

Wow ! What a great car!! Worth the wait for Mr. Rossi. It's gorgeous.

Awesome! 😁 I love the old Caddys! I use to have a White 74'Eldorado😄👍 Thanks for sharing, Lou!

they run sooo smooth ya cant tell they were running 😂... caddillacs attention to fine detail n luxury.... awesome ... analog/mechanical climate control👍🏻

Looks great a fun cruise in a Caddy when they were a Caddy was a Caddy

That is a very rare interior code 000 B with the saddle door panels and white bucket seats, a very unique 1967 Eldorado.

Hi Lou, That Cadillac is sweet, I like the bucket seats, unusual for Cadillacs of this era. Thanks for sharing this. 👍

A 1967 Cadillac had a 429 cubic inch, 340 horsepower engine. In 1968 they went to a 472 cubic inch 375 horsepower engine. I totally agree that this was the time that GM got it right.

Great car, and story! You always bring us the best stuff. Thanks Lou.

WOW..! Beautiful. Lincoln lover myself but this is a Gorgeous Cadillac 🤩 I got a diecast model with my Lincoln's in same couler. Thank You Lou 😉🇷🇺👍

My favorite caddy.So sweet😊

Lovely car, Lou. Thanks for showing.

Wow,what a car!! Rare interior too.Thanks,Lou!

Outstanding Caddy! Cool colors too.

What a car!!!!

Great looking Eldo ! Love the color ! Thanks for posting !

Beautiful. Car.

Cool car! Looks like a car you'd see outside the Playboy club in the 60s The owner is definitely Chicago born too

In my opinion it was the most beautiful Caddy design of all time. As a kid I remember seeing an article in Popular Science and the title was something like "If I was a Millionaire I would buy a 1967 Cadillac Eldorado."

Never seen a Eldorado like it nice find.

A real Beauty!

Beautiful car. The bucket-seat option is really special. I also have a soft spot for old Cadillacs because my father worked for them in the 1970's. The whole feel of the dealership was classy, and the cars looked so nice lined out in front. I got a ride in one of these at that time and the smoothness is unreal. Like the car is sliding on grease. The 2-door "personal luxury car" was always my favorite type of car. It's gone forever.

another beauty lou,thanks!

Riviera had the first in 66? Maybe 65. GM used Buick to launch new ideas. This is a great car! Love it.

Beautiful car

Beautiful car !

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks!

En verdad que ese color dorado le combina perfecto a este bellísimo Cadillac Eldorado 1967! Como siempre, me encanta las tomas que consigues de los vehículos, Lou. Esa parte trasera, el frente con un estilo en forma de buque, junto a esos elegantísimos faros escamoteables (que por cierto, se quedó haciendo un sexy guiño ya que el izquierdo no cerró, jaja) lo hacen ver precioso! Además, un interior muy cuidado y elegante. Sencillamente, otro espectacular modelo que traes al canal para deleite de tus espectadores. ¡Saludos cordiales!

If your going down a classic vehicle rabbit hole a '67 Eldorado is a fine choice _ What a fantastic design, and always a thumbs up. . . :>/

I watched a review of another 1967 Eldorado on another channel. The “crease” in the center of the rear window was apparently created at the factory with a “hot wire.” The horizontal “canister” just in front of the brake master cylinder was connected to the rear shocks. It was a “load-levelling feature.” Cadillacs in the late fifties used to have an “air ride suspension system” as an option. When you would leave in the morning, you would find your car sitting on the ground! Only when it was started would the “bellows” at each corner of the car inflate, and lift it to a normal riding height. A problematic feature which Cadillac would soon abandon!

The 1967 Cadillac Eldorado had a 429 cid V8. The engine was enlarged to 472 cid for 1968.

The car would look so much better without that vinyl roof. I don't know what designers were thinking of even offering it as an option.

Personal luxury cars were popular 50 yrs ago. ElDorado,Tornado, Riviera, Grand Prix all had nice offerings. There's a retired Air Force Capt on you tube that buys & sells all years of these & just the lowest mileage cars that are almost better than new. Wish I could think of his name.

Nice 😀

Wow, this is a really nice Cadillac, but 1967, not 1966. It is powered by a 429 cu inch V8 good for 340 HP. The cost in 1967 was 6277.00$ it was a bit pricey but scored a healthy 17930 units sold. Great video , love those Caddy

CHINGON MR LOUU

That car is gorgeous 😍 Westin hotel, AMC theatre ... that's Lombard, correct? I spent 14 years living just a couple of blocks from there.

you can never wear jeans when riding in this car! gorgeous brown and white interior. this gen eldo, plus the toro and riv, are cars that were custom right from the factory...nothing can be improved on these.

Aye another great car , you want to learn more about this car and the designer check out Rare classic cars on RU-vid, he has a 1969 version of this car. You should have shown how the rear windows opens, it's unique. I have to say that this 67 is far nicer than the 69 one I seen ,I think the gold paint and white interior suits the car, great video.

"feel of a sports car" oh I fear my sides have split!

Interesting the door sill shows “BODY BY FLEETWOOD” and the tag under hood shows “BODY BY FISHER”.

I never realized that the Cadillac Eldorado was front wheel drive starting in 1967. I thought that it was much later. First was the Oldsmobile Toronado in 1966, and in 1967, Cadillac introduces their Eldorado with the front wheel drive configuration. Eventually Buick released the Riviera in front wheel drive as well. The engine sounded healthy, and the interior was immaculate! I like the way the body style and rear deck is laid out. Beautiful color as well. I'm curious to know what size engine that Cadillac has sitting under its hood. The vacuum container has a slight leak in it which is why the hideaway headlights didn't close evenly. My neighbor's 1966 Toronado had the same issue with his hideaway headlights. That Eldorado is one slick Cadillac indeed!

Stylewise, '67 was not a great year for Cadillac, with the exception of this gorgeous model (although in '69, they didn't use the much nicer hideaway headlights). Love all the Caddys in the background!

Hasta los 90 Cadillac era Cadillac hoy son grandes cucarachas estilo Chino

No doubt the metal in the hood alone was sufficient to build all four doors of my Police car!

Great video Lou - thanks for posting. I've got a small question which some Cadillac experts may be able to help me with. The Door Plate says, "Body by Fleetwood" but the VIN Plate says, "Body by Fisher". I know that the latter was standard in GM motors, but this seems to be a contradictory. Does anyone have any ideas?

Beautiful car! Too bad it's green!😁👍

👍👍👍

😎

67 was the last year of the 429 engine

FYI, Cadillac used the 429 in the Eldorado in 1967

It's called a 'Split' rear window, not a crack. And on the trunk, it is a 'Cadillac badge', not "this over here".

1967 429 cu inch 68 had 472, 70 500 cu inch was introduced.

👍👍👍👍.

Interesting Cadillac fact. Take one 500 c.i engine and put 472 c.i. heads on. Instant 12.5 to 1 compression. This Eldirado has the 429 c.i engine

The engine is a 429 c.i .

Did that have air ride also? Might be to early for that. Pretty car, could be a nice ride to the beach get hotel room with the wife eat some sea food. That's what it makes me think. LOL crazy I know, got to be about family right? GOD, Family, Church and Country isn't that what they say we need Lou? Missing, God, in today's picture. Maybe that's the biggest change coming, to improve the planets demeanor, societal wise. GOD Bless Brother

Sounds like an awesome event there and thanks guys for this Eldo feature. Great style, looks best 100% stock just as is. Fantastic 👍

A gorgeous car. I always liked the 1st gen Eldorado and Toronado. After 1970 they got hideously ugly and big.

Does this car have v8 engine

425 CUBIC INCH?

472 possible

engine 429 cui 340 hp

I have a 70 Eldo and grew up driving one when new. I judge it to be superior to the 67. Old 429 engine vs. new 500, 4 wheel drum brakes vs. discs, Lots of gimmicky gizmos on the 67, unattractive interior. As shown the hidden headlights were a problem and I don't think look good. Better wheel covers on the 70. The 67 may have the two speed torque converter on the Olds transmission which some say is better. Discontinued for 68. A guy was trying to tell me there are no bucket seats on Cadillac. They are very rare. Kind of wierd having a car this big with only two front seats. If he had the sun roof it would be like one of a thousand and very expensive. It has the level ride. Unpleasant color combinations, white top shoe brown interior, yuk. Mine is gold but a one year one model paint.
