Detroit--The Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado Coupe (top) is totally new for 1971. The Tailored and chiseled lines of the '71 model draw parallels between the great era of the fine classics and the new Eldorado. The bevel on the long hood continues through the body to the rear quarter and is rimmed by a painted accent stripe. The boldness of the new grille with a new vertical accent, dramatically compliments the 500 cubic inch Eldorado engine. The coach-style fixed window in the upper rear quarter is seen as a style leader of the future.
(Bottom) The Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado Convertible is introduced as a companion to the popular Eldorado Coupe. The new side sheet metal with crisply scupltured individual front and rear fender treatment makes the car look longer although the overall length remains basically the same. In the rear the center theme is clearly defined by the isolated rear deck and bumper. A new inward folding top provides a rear seat as wide as a coupe and when stowed creates a sleeker appearance.
