The Cadillac Eldorado is a luxury car suitable for family usages. The manufacturing and the marketing of the vehicle is done by the Cadillac sub unit of General Motors. Initially the price was a lot cheaper than its current rate, mainly because of the competition that it faced from the contemporary vehicles. It was close to the Cadillac range line in the first few years. However the convertible versions of the same series were much more expensive than the other ones. The middle years of the vehicle roll out witnessed the Fleetwood designing of the body panels. The trim level vehicle species were also marketed by the Cadillac producers. A limited edition convertible car was introduced to the public by the makers to add to the line-up of the series. The successor of the vehicle is the Cadillac CTS.
