Hello fellow members.  I'm selling (or will trade for a Classic Cadillac, Chevy or Buick) my 1976 Eldorado convertible (21,000 miles).  It's been partially restored (e.g. new professionally done by restorer firemist blue metallic paint and replacement 5 Coker tires), because that's all that it needed.  I'm trying to ID the exact model, however I'm very confident that it has the d' Elegance package.  I'm going to be listing it pretty soon, but I'd like to get an assessment of the fair market value, but do not have the original window sticker with all of the options (but it's loaded).  How can I confirm which model it is (it's not the bi-centennial edition I'm certain)?  Any help is appreciated. You can contact me at jmcenroe30email addresses not permitted.  I want to sell/trade to a person who will take care of the car as it's been taken care of to date (garaged and not driven in rain, snow.  And, I don't want to deal with any brokers.  Thanks for any help that you can provide.

Just to be sure, convertibles were all the same model with the exception of the Bi-Centennial.
De'elegance models were limited to Devilles and Fleetwoods.
Post some photos and plenty of folks here will give you some ideas.

I'm just catching up on figuring out if I have a Fleetwood or a D'Ville.  I'll post some photos shortly and perhaps someone can help me figure out which one I have (are there any clues in the VIN?).  Thanks for the help.   :)

Here are a few photos.  If they don't help ID the specific model I'll have more a.s.a.p.

You definitely have a Fleetwood as there were no DeVille Convertibles for 1976.   Plus, DeVilles were Rear Wheel Drive.
