1953 Cadillac Eldorado®
The Car "Ike" Rode to the White House!

Cadillac Becomes America’s Standard For Luxury Because Cadillac has been the measuring stick for luxury automobiles for 50 years, we often lose sight of the fact that it wasn’t always this way. Earlier in the century, other makers such as Pierce-Arrow, Duesenberg, and Packard claimed this title. By the 1950’s these other companies had either disappeared or set their sights on more mainstream cars. Cadillac did neither. And to show the world how serious they were, they developed the Eldorado, the heaviest, most expensive car of the time. Then, to top it all off, President Eisenhower chose one for his Inaugural Parade.

Milestone Car In Every Way It’s certainly no surprise that the 1953 Eldorado, a limited edition made only as a convertible, has been given Milestone Car status. It was a technological masterpiece. Not only did it have 4-speed Hydra-Matic transmission, a monstrous 331 cubic inch V-8 engine, wire wheels and leather interior, but it also introduced the revolutionary wraparound windshield, developed by Libby-Owens-Ford.

Precision Engineered to Cadillac Specifications From the “dollar grin” grille to the jet-like air scoops on both bumpers, this 1:18 scale precision die cast replica of the ’53 Eldorado has all the details of the 4800-pound $7750 original. With its whitewall tires and gleaming factory-baked enamel finish, it truly looks presidential.
