On "My Car Story" we're in the West Suburbs of Chicago at the Cadillac Nationals on 6-24-22.
We're looking at a 1966 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible in Black Paint with the Factory 429 CI V8 engine, and an automatic transmission.
The car's Owner is Carl Rossi. Carl’s had this car since 2002. Carl shares he’s owned many Cadillacs but this one is his favorite. He enjoys this car has low mileage, and it drives like you’re riding on a cloud.
ENJOY! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Beautiful !!!! That's when a Cadillac was a Cadillac !!!!!!
Hi Greg, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this Cadillac :-) Lou
Cadillac motto use to be.."Cadillac, standard of the World!." This car sure is! A beautiful car! Thanks for posting. Be blessed always by our Lord Jesus Christ Lou!
Hi Gerry, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Blessings received. God bless you too, Lou
Amen
Hallelujah!
That's one beautiful 66 El Dorado convertible! It's been well taken care of, and it's obvious that it's owner cherishes it. It sounds healthy, and the car is in very pristine condition for it's age. Another fine example of fine craftsmanship.
Hi Michael, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
Any day in a Cadillac is a great day. Add the sunlight & the convertible top, and it's no surprise why this is Mr. Rossi's favorite. Thanks, Lou!
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Happy to see this car starts a great day :-) You're welcome, Lou
The 1966 Cadillac Eldorado is America's luxury and comfort at its best. Is in show room condition and so smooth that I can only hear the tires roll. The loud horn sound clearly says that Cadillac is in town! Congratulations to its proud owner. Thanks Lou for this wonderful ride.
Hi Juan, Happy to read the details you enjoy with this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
That’s when it meant something to own a Cadillac!
You're right Jim :-)
GM in the 60s sure had distinctive and iconic styling. Beautiful Eldo!
Thanks Lou!
Hi Jeff, I agree. Great styling. My pleasure sharing this car with you. You're welcome, Lou
When I turned 16 my dad bought a '66 Cadillac Calais hardtop, so that was the car I got to drive in high school. It was a retired funeral home car and was in excellent condition. Smoothest running automobile I've ever drove and it got lots of looks. It was a mile long...

Beautiful car!! This is the Last year for the rear wheel drive Eldorado. In ‘67 GM put it on the front drive Olds Toronado chassis. Some consider this the last true Eldorado that can date its lineage to its debut in 1954.

That looks like one of Sonny's Caddys from the movie A Bronx Tale . That is a luxurious cruiser . Love the stacked headlights. Thanks for featuring Lou .
Hi Michael, Happy to read the details you enjoy :-) You're welcome, Lou
Exactly. Sonny had a ‘66 Eldorado!

Hi David, Happy to read "I love these classic American boats" :-) My pleasure sharing with you. You're welcome, Lou
13,074$ was a ton of money in 66.The next yr. They became sporty looking & had their own body style for ever.A 429 c.i.powered it to 124 mph,0-60 - about 8 sec. Was pretty quick too.

Wow that looks amazing
Happy to receive a "Wow" from you :-)
Ok...you did it again bringing forth a '66 Cadillac, Eldo Convertible to boot! Nice looking car and I can understand his love for it. Yes, I had a '66 Cadillac, purchased it after selling my 2 owner '68 Mustang from San Diego, in 1988-89. However, mine was a 4 dr hdtp Calais, one owner (I was 2nd) with only 57K miles, loaded like a DeVille with all paperwork/window sticker, 1st owner traded a 1956 Cadillac for it, in Norfolk Va. I just wished I had kept it in 1990 when I was moving back to CA from VA. But already had another vehicle to trailer and a moving truck to drive. 1966 is my favorite.
HI K B, Happy to read you had a 66 too :-) NICE! Lou
Beyond cool, amazing original condition....... 😎👍
Happy to read you enjoy this car :-)
Carl's Cadillac is so long and beautiful you'd almost need to step backwards to Berwyn to get it's entire profile in that shot. Don't trip! Thanks Lou!
Hi Brian SD, backing up.... backing up.... backing up...., okay.....now I can get a side view of the whole car in the video :-) You're welcome, Lou
Brian SD It would be the same thing if you found one of these in 1/18 1/24 1/25 1 /32 1/36 1/43 1/64th scale die casts and styrene plastic models!. Speaking of which I know that there must be some Dealer Promos of 1965-66 Cadillacs!!!!!!.
Oh, my! Sweet Caddy! There is something about the road presence of these Cadillacs. Maybe it is the enormity of the bulk of its land yacht status but nothing compares to this as a luxury vehicle. This is amazing, Lou! Fantastic! I don't know if Cadillac (or Lincoln) can ever recover since what made the great was the bulk of their size in conjunction that both companies used to know how to build luxurious products - something Cadihack has completely forgotten about and something that Lincoln is trying to offer in its superior INTERIOR design. Neither company builds anything that looks luxurious on the outside IMHO.
This is style! Look at how the lines all flow and make sense. You can tell that Cadillac designers had eyes and hands that could follow the lines - something that cannot be said of the clowns running Cadihack now.
Thank you for sharing this, Lou!
Hi ultraviolet tp, High praise :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you. You're welcome, Lou
what a beauty one of my favorites you made my day just looking at it. great

My father worked for Cadillac in the early '70's and used to grab nice '60's trade-ins. One was '66 Cadillac Sedan DeVille. Fond memories. Pre-'67 Eldorado's were rarely seen then. I actually liked the idea of an upgraded DeVille, but Cadillac did that anyway with the DeElegance models.

Hi Keith, Happy read this would be a good daily driver for you, Lou
The stacked headlamps appear to be straight up on the Eldorado.
The other models, like the Coupe DeVille, the top lamp is slightly forward of the lower lamp. Giving the appearance of leaning forward. A great design. Unless I’m thinking of a different model year than 66’.

Back in 1966 I worked at a resort in northern Minnesota. The owner had purchased a black 1966 Deville convertible with red leather. I think it had a black top too. I washed it for him by backing it up to the shoreline, and using a bucket of water, sponge, and cotton rags, and a chamois. Gorgeous car. The red interior looked much better on the car.

One of my favorite classic Caddies. Beautifully designed car.
Hi Randy, Happy to read "One of my favorite classic Caddies" :-) Nice! Lou
Impresionante este Cadillac Eldorado Convertible de 1966. Me llamó la atención su techo retractil automático y sus finos acabados internos, como la madera en las puertas! Para ser un coche enorme se notaba muy suave su conducción! ¡Excelente video, como siempre, y saludos!
Hi Jaime, Happy to read the details you notice on this "impressive" car :-) Lou
Y pensar que en el 1966 el auto (El Dorado) costaba $7,400 nuevo!
@@billace90 Buen dato! Jaja. Gracias y Saludos!
I’d say that one year after this the bean counters started taking over and the quality started going down although they were still great cars through the mid-70’s. But this is a pinnacle for GM.
Hi John, High praise for this car :-) Lou
I can just picture Boss Hogg from The Dukes Of Hazzard driving this around Hazzard County smoking his cigar and with a set of bull horns as a hood ornament!!
Nice :-)
Thanks Lou. You're a good sport to do this on a hot day, but please be careful! The car is beautiful. It was the last Eldorado in this format before going over to the personal luxury coupe in '67. Your photography is excellent as always. From the back, the car has a Lincoln influence to some extent. I like how Cadillac kept the 'essence' of fins at the top, starting at the just in front of the rear quarter panel. '64 the end of obvious fins, but not all together at all. As far as the a/c goes, you DO need it unless it never gets hot, convertible or not. Not everyone is going to want to put the down the top every time they go out, and as you can vouch for, does not magically lower the temperature when desired.
Hi Rob, You're right, I'll have to make sure I get out of the sun/heat. Appreciate the kind words on the photography. Enjoy reading the details you notice. You're welcome, Lou
I wish all the 60's cool cars had been ZIEBARTED.......it stops rust, right Lou. The car is a work of art.
Hi Mike, Happy to read you enjoy this "work of art" :-) ZIEBART was sold as a rust preventor, Lou
@@loucostabile ...yep, I used to work at a Ziebart dealer. It really worked.

Hi Bill, High praise :) Lou
Tuxedo! That white steering wheel!! Great car Lou. As a kid in 1968 my aunt got a new red DeVille with white leather. A Cadillac convertible became my dream car then at age 8 and I managed to own 3.
Hi Jeffrey, "Tuxedo!" Perfect! Lou
Just stunning, the classiest Cadillac period. A friend had an identical black/white except not Eldorado ‘66 rag here in the UK 20+ years ago. Spent its life on Ibiza and had original 12k miles. Sadly it suffered an interior electrical fire and was mostly destroyed.
Happy to read "Just stunning, the classiest Cadillac period" :-) Sorry to read what happened to your Friends car :-(
Absolutely stunning car..one of my favorite years for Cadillacs!
Hi Gene, High praise :-) Lou
My mom and dad had a 65 sedan deVille . I loved that car. 65 and 66 were very similar. 66 was more refined in the headlight stack, and the taillights had a chrome bar that ran vertically through the center of the tai light. I wish I had the 65. It was a hard top 4 door in a cool green color. It had a tilt/telescope steering wheel.

Lead sled but, a beaut ! Classy black to show off chrome & delightful white leather! So glad it had the blue dash pad rather than garish red.

my late maternal grandfather had a 1968 Cadillac Eldorado hardtop Coupe in black with red trim when my mom and her brother Joey were kids until 1971 when he traded it for a 1972 Oldsmobile 98 Holiday Coupe. later he would have a 78 Cadillac Sedan Deville and grandma drove a used 1981 Cadillac Coupe Deville when I was a child in mid-late 80s

One of my favorite Cadillac’s! Dionne Warwick Had one like this in gold with a convertible top back in 1966. The Fleetwood version of this was my ultimate favorite from the 4 electric vent windows front and rear to the carpeted foot rest screamed luxurious personal Limo! When I’d see one going by, it was like looking at the Queen Mary floating by! Awesome!

Cadillac Eldorado with white leather interior - one memorable way to travel - I may be a little biased as I own a 1984 Eldorado Biarritz Convertible in the dark blue with white leather interior.

Hi Pablo, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this Cadillac :-) Lou
Dream Car I love everything about it! I had a 68 Fleetwood Brougham only 15,000 made, it was long, the length on this 66 El Dorado is perfect, I had a 93 El Dorado it was 1 out of 150 that year that had the prototype Northstar engines before they went into mass production it had a slick black paint job like this one ❤

Absolutely beautiful 😍😍😍😍😍 Thanks Lou!

Carl Rossi's 1966 Eldorado is gorgeous! The styling took a dramatic change for the 1967 model year. However, the '67 Eldorado is, to this day, my second most favorite car of all time, only bested by the 1966 Olds Toronado. I would gladly own either one, but the best I could do was to own the plastic model kits of both 😢. As always, thank you Lou (and your 'production team') 👍
Hi Mike YQR, High praise :-) Lou
First Eldorado that I have seen without air conditioning.
Hi Fred, Thank you for sharing, Lou
I love it I love it I am the proud owner of a 1979 coupe DeVille but the 66 to me is one of the most beautiful bodies ever made I would trade mine in a heartbeat for one and I really like my car.

Always, always, loved the Cadillacs of the 1960’s. When I was in school a Pontiac Cadillac dealer was right across the street. They always had a bunch of used ones in the front line of the used section and I’d be admiring them every day at a distance from the playground. Thinking one day I’ll have one but never did. Today Cadillacs are not Cadillacs😞 just another GM product.
Hi Trip Reviews, Happy to read you loved the 1960's Cadillacs :-) Lou
I want it ...I want that car! Incredible

Hi Harold, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou

Absolutely beautiful
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-)
I would have to look up the exact production numbers but in 1966 Cadillac stamped out about 18,500 Series 62 & Eldo soft tops, while Ford make maybe 3,500 Continental convertibles and Chrysler a mere 633 Imperials. In spite of these numbers a pristine Cadillac like this beautiful El Dorado is far more valuable at auction than its two competitors. How the hell the white leather upholstery stood up so nicely confounds me. If that car ever goes missing first place to check is my garage... :-)

I bet back in their day these Cadillacs were the main culprit for the cluttered up parking lot of the Country Club at the golf course.
