The Cadillac Eldorado is a personal luxury car made by Cadillac from 1953 to 2002 over ten generations. It was often the most stylish and most powerful Cadillac available.
The 1959 Eldorado is now remembered mainly for its huge sharp tailfins with dual bullet tail lights. Like all other 1959 Cadillacs, the Eldorados had 390-cubic-inch V8s under their long hoods. However, they lost some of their mechanical distinctiveness as the 345 horsepower "Eldorado" version of the 390 (topped by three two-barrel carburetors) was now an option on all Cadillacs (which otherwise had 325-horsepower single four-barrel carbureted engines).
Elvis Presley loved Eldorados, and they regularly appear in Martin Scorsese films.
