I have 2,708 photos of 1970 in my archives.    Anything in particular you want to see?

On October 31st 1969 Los Altos, CA based Dr. Seymour Wallace and his wife became the proud owners of this extremely exceptional 1970 Cadillac Eldorado. Wanting something out of the ordinary, they had ordered the highly unusual color combination of Nottingham Green Firemist with red leather. The paint code (PNT 96) and trim code (TR 488) confirm this is the original color combination. On top of this, the car does not have a vinyl top, contrary to the majority of 1970 Eldorados that left the factory.

How about one of each?     

As the 1970 ad tag line said: "You can change your mind eleven times and still be right"

Where is the V ? 

[D.Smith]

Where is the V ? 

Some idiot in marketing decided it was no longer necessary to emphasize the obvious. 

Thankfully buyers complained and the V would return in 72.

It was another mistake in my opinion when they replaced the V with the wreath in the mid eighties on the Devilles. 

[Eric DeVirgilis CLC# 8621]

Where is the V ? 

No Vs used on Calais/DeVille in '70 & '71 but oversized crests were used on hood/decklid in those years.

Fleetwoods & Eldorado continued to get the wreaths with normal sized crests.

Scott ,
      I could be wrong all Calais models come without vinyl tops , tops  were an extra .

[76eldo]

Bill,

I love the car and LOVE Byzantine Gold.

My first Caddy was a 70 convertible in those exact colors.  It was certainly not pristine like your car, but to a 19 year old kid it was the coolest ride around.

Vinyl tops did not become available until the 1974 model year for the Calais series.

Thank you Brian ,
        I had the exact same car back in 1973 . I was only 21 years old and every body was selling the big gas guzzler cars because of the gas shortage  at that time  . So i had the opportunity to pick up that Cadillac .  That's when i fell in love with Cadillacs . I seen your Eldorado  and that car has to be seen to appreciate it .Absolutely pristine . Your 70 is Beautiful . I think that is the car you were telling me about removing the Stripe . Although i like the stripe . and believe it or not i like the hood ornament . i put one on my 70 back in 73 .  Finally your 60 convertible is Bad ass . Looks really good with the top up . 60 was a great year .

Just popped the ‘70 Eldorado out of the barn and drove it around this weekend. Nice weather and no salt on the road, well except they salted north of me, fortunately I saw that before I went out in the Eldorado so I headed south, and East and West instead!

Gonna drive it around today, too. I replaced the steering wheel inlay yesterday.
