was followed
by the 1949 model with
the two door hardtop Coupe DeVille

Engineering innovations, con-
veniences and styling dominated the

ory seat, automatic electric door
locks, transistor radio, a brushed stainless steel
roof and low profile
tires.

all 1970 Eldorados.

tem (airbag) was available for

tion was available, on
1975 Cadillacs
