Well, also have a new member. My name is John and I have a 1976 Eldorado convertible that I picked up last year with 5102-miles. Story and pictures to follow....
I have a 1974 Eldorado. The silver striping on my tell tale bezel (black thing where the clock, gas gauge are) needs refinishing. Has anyone done this or...
Yes, they make a paint pen in silver that produces pretty good results. Mine is made by "Pentel" and I got it from an arts and crafts type store. ... -- Joe...

Section 8 of the 1975 Fisher Body Manual covers the Roof section of the car, including the folding top. (I'm sure 1976 will be no different.) Specific...
This is kind of funny... I have a 76 Eldo convertible, and the AC compressor locked up towards the middle of the summer. No big deal, I usually drive it with...
I am currently refurbishing a 1977 Eldo. The imitation wood trim around the horn pad seems to be the first thing to break on 1977-1987 Cads. Does anyone know...
My '77 Seville had the same problem - The steering wheels were common across all models for '77 & '78. The woodgrain trim piece on those wide two-spoke wheels...

Hi Aaron, That's a tough one! If you're looking for maximum value when you resell it, go with a stock color, if not the exact color it came from the factory...
Aaron, Trust me when I tell you that you should go with a color that is a factory color, and I will stretch to say that even if it is from a different year,...

Aaron, Paint it the color you want. The seventies were full of some funky colors, I guess it was a reflection of the times. Some of the color combinations were...
My personal opinion is to go with a factory color for the year... but if you like another color better, you might as well go with it. Paint can be stripped and...
That pretty much sums up my take on it, as well. I, personally, prefer a year correct factory color. But I also see a car as the owners' personal project or...

I think you made a really excellent decision. And don't worry that two stage paint is not what GM shot on there originally. Modern two stage paint is way...

Todd, My 76 Eldo does the same thing, and I have just been too lazy to find out why because after it warms up completely, it runs fine. I am leaning towards...
