FEATURE ALERT! Fun Facts of the 1956 Cadillac Poster

Here is what happened in 1956:

In 1956, Cadillac introduced the Eldorado Seville. Seville, meaning luxury and performance, started as a two door hard top. The other option for Cadillac Eldorado lovers was the convertible style, also known as the Cadillac Biarritz. 

FUN FACTS:

  • The overall wheelbase was 129 inches, 
  • Total length of over 222 inches making it one of the longest rides available to Cadillac lovers. 
  • The first year of sales for the Seville topped out at just fewer than 4000 units, not bad for a 1956 car that costs an average of $5500.

The overall mechanical structure of the 1956 Cadillac Eldorado was improved, as well. For example, they were equipped with two carburetors. The overall engine size was increased for the first time in over 15 years, still the use of the HydraMatic transmission was utilized, however, it too underwent an overhaul increasing its size and smoothing out it’s shifting capabilities.

Other minor changes such as a finer textured front grille and repositioning of the headlights were also introduced to other models of the 1956 Cadillac, other options such as chrome or gold finished moldings and ornamentations were also available.That year Cadillac outsold all other luxury car brands, including the Lincoln and the Imperial. The 1956 Cadillac models set new record highs for this year, competitively moving them into the fight against all other American made cars.
