Detailed Description
1959 Cadillac Eldorado Sorry! This model wont be available again until February 17th.


Street Low Series
Beautiful Classic Low-Lows They`ve been around since the 50`s when letting air out of your tires and throwing a sand bag in your trunk meant you had a lowrider. They`re more popular than ever and enthusiasm for these crazy-gorgeous rides is growing like a weed. It seems that some cars have just lent themselves better to chopped down frames, custom jack interiors, hydraulic kits, modified suspensions and wire rims. TheEldorado is one of the classics. Take a long straight city street just before sunset,let the fading sunlight glean across the badest paint job in town... and dance your low-low down the boulevard.

Craftsmanship to Compliment the Original
These are the mighty-lows and street dancers. It takes incredible talent and dedication to custom build and keep these rides tight. Some are better than others but what you know for sure is that there is a real artist behind every one. The individuals who create these works of art not only express their soul but have created a culture. A culture as unique as the cars they build. We have crafted these cars to include the smallest of details - as beautiful as they were

The History of The Cadillac Eldorado
The name Eldorado comes from the Spanish words El Dorado, the gilded one. It was applied in ancient times to the chief or cacique of a South American Indian tribe. According to a legend handed down from the Spanish conquistadors, the chief`s followers would sprinkle his body with gold dust on ceremonial occasions, and then he would wash it off by plunging into the cool waters of a mountain lake, high in the Andes chain.

The name usually is associated also with a mythical land of fabulous riches, believed to be somewhere in S. America. The quest for it inspired many European expeditions, including one to the Orinoco river by Sir Walter Raleigh. Considering the amount of gold booty stolen from the Indians by Spain`s Francisco Pizzarro who conquered Peru in 1530, it is highly possible that he and his band of 180 followers found and plundered more than one such el dorado on their pillaging conquest of the Inca lands.

The Cadillac Motor Car Division of General Motors selected the name for a special convertible showcar built in 1952 to celebrate the company`s Golden Anniversary. Mary-Ann Zukosky, a secretary in the merchandising department, suggested that name in an in-house competition. The company later adopted it for the limited-production Eldorado convertible built in limited numbers the following year. It made its official debut on September 20, 1952. In the Cadillac Data Book for 1953 the copywriters spread this message around the vast network of Cadillac dealerships
