Beautiful caddy, I'm so surprised that so many of the car clocks didn't work , I remember as a kid car owners would fuss about it, I really can remember that
Lou, you really cannot go wrong by showing cars 1969 or older. I would think everyone would like the Cadillacs of this period, too. Thank you for showing!
Hi Jed, We'll see what the Viewers think of this one :-) You're welcome, Lou
"First thang jou know ol Jeds a millionaire!" 😆
@@loucostabile I'm a solid gold cadillac fanatic great car hands down!!!!! I'm in love with it!!!!
Oh oh oh oh oh!! My favorite color, year and it's a Cadillac... You made my heart melt Lou!
NICE to read "You made my heart melt" Debbie :-)
This one brings back memories. My father was a caddy guy. He had a 59 Fleetwood that my mother wrecked. So he needed another. This was 1964. The back story is he was one of the first 3 people to bring Arabian Horses to the USA. So we lived on a large farm in the country. He was a dentist by profession. One saturday, he finished the farm work and went downtown Columbus, Ohio to buy a new Fleetwood. He was wearing bib overalls and a white T shirt, fairly dirty as he had been doing farm work. NO ONE would talk to him. Finally, after an hour someone asked him what he wanted. He said the blue metallic Fleetwood on the showroom floor. The salesman smirked and asked how he planned to pay for it. My father reached in the chest pocket of the bibs and pulled out $7500.00 in $100. Bills and asked him if he figured it was enough. 20 minutes later, he and I (I am 6) arre driving home. I learned never judge a book by the cover that day. When he died in 2001, the caddy was in the garage with 42,000 miles on it. Next to it was a 1978 Mercury Marquis , last of the large wheelbase with 52 miles. He drove it home from the dealership and parked it. Last I heard the caddy was in London, England. The new owner who bought it called for the history on the car. Love the caddy!
Hi Greg, Nice lesson :-) Good story. Lou
@@loucostabile thanks Lou, keep up the great cars.
The Feller being a big Cadillac fan sure has a big Cadillac to be a fan of; acres of it! There is another channel to check out, Mr. Lou, for some big, classic cars. The channel is “Rare Classic Cars and Automotive History. The creator and presenter is Adam, he has a collection of these land yachts that is impressive.
Hi Donald, Thanks for viewing and sharing a tip of a Channel I'll take a look at, Lou
Positively the best looking body style of all the Eldorado's ever made. Thanks Lou for getting this on your show.
High praise for the style of this car Brian. You're welcome.
These and the Toranado counterpart are the smoothest riding cars I ever rode in. Butter smooth and power that just catapults you forward. The one thing I sorely miss in today's cars is the pampered comfort of personal luxury cars. Beautiful example.
Hi Joseph, Happy to read this brings back memories of the smoothest car you've rode in. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Yup, that Toronado, FWD was a masterpiece too wasn't it? I used to see one around my East Van neighBOORhood back in the day! Most cars started losing their sleek styling, and character after 1972.
@@mr.blackhawk142 As a kid growing up in Long Island, two neighbors had the Toronado's and I got a ride in one. My father worked for Cadillac and brought home Eldo's, so I got rides in many of those. This was the '70's when Cadillac was still really classy. Yes, in 1973 the unsightly impact absorbing guard rail bumpers make the cars look frumpy and heavy.
My older brother had an Olds Toronado and I did my share driving it. I agree the smoothness and power were like nothing else I've driven. Tracked on the highway like it was on rails.
This, the Imperial and Continental were the epitome of '68 luxury ❤️
Hi Erika, Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Not one, not two, but three horns under that six foot hood! “Outta my way, cars of lesser status!” Those vacuum operated headlamps are in no hurry to come out. Standard of the world, indeed!
Hi Dr Akbar, You're right on this horns :-) Nice! Lou
Love the tail blades...classy. These are stunning cars. I had a 68 DeVille conv....definitely a driver, not a show car, by a long shot. The 472 was bullet proof.
Hi CJ Designs, Happy to read this car is stunning :-) Glad to read you had a fun car too...with a 472, Lou
1968 is my favorite year Eldo. New 472 engine, hidden headlights and the new hidden wipers. I had a 1968 Coupe de Ville in that same yellow color back in the 1980s and it was a smooth, powerful car. Wish I still had it.
Hi Nick, Happy to read this is your favorite year Eldorado :-) Glad to read you had a nice Cadillac too, Lou
Lou;
Yet another beautiful example of an American luxury car; which I like to refer to as “Rolling art”.
Thanks for sharing this video with us!
Robert; Happy to share this "Rolling art" with you :-) You're welcome, Lou
Thank you for this video, Lou. Mr. Miller is a lucky man indeed, such a handsome automobile. Memories! My dad bought a new one of every year of this body style except 1967, starting in 1968 {firemist gold with black vinyl roof and black leather interior) and ending with a 1970 in firemist regatta blue, white top and white leather. The '70 had the even more insane 500 ci engine, with 400 HP and 550 ft/lb torque. It could literally burn rubber for an entire city block (and often did!) That silver thing on the suspension brace is the air pump for the self-leveling rear suspension and the headlight doors are retracted via manifold vacuum, the reservoir is that big black coffee can on the right inner fender (it also runs the cruise control if so equipped) I think this yellow paint was actually called cashmere, believe it or not. Again, this is a beautiful car. Thank you, Mr. Miller, for keeping this one on the road, and thank you Lou for videoing it. Top work!!
Hi Mark, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Dads cars :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing your knowledge, and you're welcome, Lou
One of my two most favorite GM cars (the other being the '66 Toronado). I miss the colored interiors back then: green, gold, blue, burgundy, etc). Thank you for showing Mr Stu Miller's beautiful Eldorado!
Hi Mike YQR, Happy to read this is top 2 GM cars :-) You're welcome, Lou
Lou, Thanks for this one! This style of Eldorado's 1967-1970 the best looking, especially the 67-69 are my favorite. No compromise in styling and build, thanks to Fleetwood...
halhenryg, Happy to read you enjoy the styling of this year Eldorado. You're welcome, Lou
These cars will be beautiful 1,000 years from now....
Happy to read you appreciate the design of this car :-)
1968 Cadillac, my favorite year for Cadillac!
Happy to read this is your favorite Cadillac year :-)
What a nice car, thank you for this share, Stu and Lou.
HI Chris, Happy to read you enjoy this "nice car" :-) You're welcome, Lou
Yes Lou, fabulous profile and I'll add beautiful paint color. Thanks for upload, awesome Caddy.
Hi Bruce H., Happy to read this Caddy is "awesome" :-) Lou
those were probably the best Eldo's ever made, and you gotta love that mile-long hood disappearing into the horizon hehe
Hi SRT8Driver, High praise for this Eldorado :-) Lou
The coffin sculpting in the front of the hood is vaguely Cord - like.
The brocade fabric looks new.
Surprising.
Amazing how much GM put into producing this car. So interesting.
Thanks, Lou. !!!
Hi Steve, Enjoy reading the details you see :-) You're welcome, Lou
Brocade? 1st time I've heard/read that word. I need some BROKE-aid around here! 😉
+1 .. Many thanks for bringing the Eldorado out for the Lou Costabile video shoot. . What a super 50yo example - you're preaching to the choir as I'm a big pre-'70s Eldo fan.
Many thanks, Cheers Vail, Colorado
Hi Michael, Happy to read you're a Fan of the pre-70's Eldo's. Good news! Stay tuned this videos this next week and you might see another one :-) Lou
I love those great big huge old Cadillacs !
Nice :-)
Now that car is a true land yacht
All aboard !
Did not know there were “Fleetwood” Eldorados. Wonderful interior as well. One’s 1968
dollars bought so much luxury for the day. Thanks, Lou!
Hi Rob, I didn't know there were "Fleetwood" Eldorado's either. Learning something new for me is lots of fun. You're welcome, Lou
@@loucostabile Yes because it was supposed to be top of the line for Cadillac and Fletwood was associated with the most expensive models.
I may have mentioned it before but that particular car was one of my favorite matchbox cars as a little boy in the year 70s I had briefcases forward these things
Hi Frank, Happy to read this one is one of your favorite matchbox cars :-) Lou
The shape of this Eldo is timeless & the modest fin & tail lights are wickedly cool. Nice buy Stu!
Hi Pat, Happy to read you enjoy this timeless design :-) Lou
Great condition car one of my favorites, also a fan of the Tornado and the rear drive Rivieras of this Bill Mitchell styling era. The hood I believe is 2 pieces on these with the welds covered by the chrome center molding. The bent center back glass also a very unique design element that ties in with the knife edged quarter panels and tapered tail lamps. The brochure is awesome (a piece of automotive history), today it's all about pushing customers to the website. I miss the nice color photographs of a hardcopy automotive brochure.

I remember as a kid that before GM became homogeneous Cadillac and Oldsmobile could make cars like this that were so unique and respected. Terrific to see this car in such wonderful condition! Been a while...
Hi Audie, Happy to read this car brings back memories :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
homogeneous???? SHAME on you!!! 😆
@@mr.blackhawk142 shame in me? I don't think so...look it up Einstein.
I love the Eldorados from 67-70 sporty, powerful, and sculpted quite nicely. They have more of a sporty look then the earlier models, I love the earlier models as too, a different look altogether.
They call me Mellow Yellow
(Quite rightly) a little Donovan for you.
Hi Michael, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
Congratulations on hitting 110k subscribers Lou!
Very nice Eldorado! Another Bill Mitchell icon. GM style through the late ‘50s to mid ‘70s had an unique and highly influential look. And this Eldo is clearly a great example of this clean style.
Thanks as always for bringing it to us.
Hi Jeff, Thank you for the congratulations on 110K Subscribers. Happy to share this "Bill Mitchell Icon" with you :-) My pleasure sharing with you. Appreciate your encouragement and support. You're welcome, Lou

Gone with te wind the mos impresibe cars of GM i love this Caddy Congratulation at the owner, Lou
Hi Juan, Happy to read "I love this Caddy" :-) Lou
I love this Eldorado. I have loved Cadillacs since I owned a 72 Coupe De Ville in my early twenties. Granted it was not as nice as this one, but the quality of them old cars was hard to beat. I also owned a 78 Toronado witch I guess would compare better to this caddy. The front wheel drive was something else when as a teen I could spin the front tires. Oh how many times friends thought I broke it when the smoke would roll from under the front fenders. LOL! I was young and dumb. The thought of preserving those cars was the furthest thing from my mind back then. As always, thank you for sharing Lou. Take care.
Hi Russell, Happy to read you "love" this Eldorado :-) Glad to read this video brings memories of your 72 Cadillac & 78 Toronado. Sounds like you had some fun times, Lou
I had a midnight blue with a white vinyl top in high school. Wish I still had it. Dad sold it in 1980 after I graduated. Thank you for sharing and bringing back wonderful memories 🍺🎣

Hi Brain, SUPER THANK YOU FOR THE SUPER THANKS! I appreciate your kind words and support, Lou
Nice smooth power.. it could rock you to sleep!!
Agree
Pure excellence!
Hi Johan, High praise :-) Lou
I love the El Dorado and Toronado both! I still think that the front wheel drive systems on those cars were brilliant! A friend of mine had a GMC motorhome with the Cadillac 472 engine and the front transaxle for power!
Hi Michael, Happy to read you "love" this one :-) Glad to read your Friends motorhome had this more too, Lou
TRANSaxle??? Watch yer language! This is a FAMILY channel! Right Lou??? 🤣 Seriously, I've never heard of that term before, so I Giggled it and found... "What is a transaxle vs transmission?
Transmissions and transaxles both transmit power from your engine to your wheels. Transmissions are usually found in RWD vehicles, while transaxles are used in FWD cars. A transaxle is a combination of a transmission, axle, and differential.May 26, 2022"
The lap of luxury... Makes me miss the 87 Sedan De Ville I had ..
Sounds like a car you enjoyed.
I love eldorados
Nice :-)
Normally, I tend to be partial to 60s and (especially) 70s Lincolns, as well as 69-73 Imperials and the fuselage cars. But the 67-70 Eldos? Pure magic!! Such timeless, elegant styling. Love the yellow on this one! Thanks Lou and Stu!!
Hi SigmaMale1972, Happy to share this "Pure magic" with you :-) You're welcome, Lou
@Sigma, you have great taste in cars! Those cars you listed are at the VERY top of my wish-list! Add a 1968 Mustang Shelby GT500 KR convertible, or of course the Buick Rivieras, to make my list complete! I saw a 1963 Olds today. It was parked, so I had a good look at it. It was similar to this one. I don't have any $$$ so all I can do is...look! www.gmheritagecenter.com/images/gm-vehicle-collection/1963_Oldsmobile_Jetfire/1963_Oldsmobile_Jetfire1.jpg
@@mr.blackhawk142 Why thank you Sir!! I'm a bit of a Mustang man myself...just sold my 2012, and my daily is a 98 GT (dark green, Steve McQueen approved!). A 68KR convertible would definitely be on my list too!
That Olds Jetfire reminds me a LOT of my 1st car, a 74 Dodge Dart Custom, triple gold! Total 70s gaudy, loved it!!!!!
Goodday Lou,
Through you I learnt to appreciate Corvettes now Cadillac's you know how to convert me.
Fantastic all round & suprised me FWD.

A gorgeous Caddy!!
Nice :-)
I think you must drive fast on a highway to really appreciate the Eldorado and Toronado of this period. The high speed tracking, smoothness, and comfort reached a peak of design that can't be achieved with modern efficient cars.
Hi River Blue Vert, Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
These are such great cars! Like you mentioned they are smooth and have plenty of power, too. I'm so glad this Eldo' found Mr. Miller and that you found them both for the channel. Thanks, Lou!

Just gorgeous...beautiful classy colors. A perfectly styled car that cannot be improved. I have always thought that cloth upholstery is more luxurious than leather...and this example is a perfect example...wonder what is the name of interior color
Hi Steve S, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Not sure on the interior color, Lou
Steve the interior color is called covert.
It's like "budddah"! :)

Nice. 67-68 were the best Eldorados. They weren't the land yachts of the 2nd gens.
Hi Milford, Happy to read you enjoy this year (and 1967 too), Lou
I couldn't understand why the owner called it "Mellow Yellow" because it looked white to me, but then I noticed it's a pale yellow. I believe the paint color is Kashmir Ivory. A really nice Eldorado. Thanks, Lou!

my late maternal grandfather had a Red and black 1968 Eldorado Seville 4 door hardtop for a few years when my mom and Uncle Joe were growing up and later on a Sedan Deville among other cars my mum learned to drive in a 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 if I didn't have my disability issues I'd have learned to drive in either a 1990 Toyota Camry or a 1990 Volvo 760 more likely both as one was Auto my grandmother to whom the Camry belonged never learned to drive a manual transmission car and the Volvo was a manual I personally never cared for yellow cars my late maternal grandmother drove a used 1979 Cadillac Coupe Deville in Colonial Yellow with Saddle Brown leather Upholstery when I was very young that made me fall in love with Cadillacs all together she traded it in for a used 1984 Buick Skylark I was sad when Cadillac retired the Deville series and Seville in 2005 my moms had Hyundai's for the last 20 years or so an 03 Elantra limited a 2005 Sonata LX and finally a 2012 Azera

Hi Michael, Happy to read this one is "very nice" :-) Lou
This is a car that I wanted badly back in the early 70’s. My parents neighbor had one and wanted to sell it during the Arab Oil Embargo of late 1973, early 1974. Unfortunately they ended up keeping it because it had so little value due to the gasoline shortage.
Hi Dave, Happy to read this is a car you like. Thanks for viewing and sharing, Lou
I remember that FAKE shortage around 1978ish, when cars were LINED UP at gas stations! I hardly ever beLIEve anything from the LAMEstream media or GVMT.
@@mr.blackhawk142
The first one was because the US was backing Israel and OPEC was unhappy and decided to play hardball. The second one in 1979 was when the Shah was deposed from Iran.
Great job, Stu and Lou! The 1968 Eldorado has no bad design angles. It is a stunning example of what GM design could achieve. This car as shown also has cloth upholstery which shows far better than the optional leather. The 68 Eldorado hood is so large it was stamped as 2 pieces, hence the full-length chrome strip.
The rear leaf beam suspension sports 4 shocks, 2 air shocks, and 2 horizontal shocks. The long cylindrical tank under the hood produced about 275 psi to keep the rear level. This system fails quickly and is often replaced with manual fill Schrader valved air shocks.
Hi R Troxel, Happy to read you enjoy all the angles of this cars design :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge, Lou
Don't forget torsion bar suspension up front borrowed from Chrysler 😉
You might be surprised to know the torsion bars appeared front and rear on some 1955 Packards so Chrysler was not 1st
@@md11b777 I actually suspected that torsion bar suspension, was used before Chrysler used it as it was not patented, or the patent had ran out, it was a rub at GM fans that Chrysler was ahead of it's time in many ways.
@@poisedforduty Packards version was called "Torsion Level" which also had an active electric motor to keep the Packard level at all 4 corners. The handling was amazing for a car of that size. It was in their cars in 1955-56. The 1968 Eldorado also made good use of the front-drive, and front torsion bar set up but it was not near as sophisticated. The single rear leaf springs on the 67-69 Eldorados also lost their "temper" over time so the rear of the car would appear to sit low on its haunches. That in turn would car the air pump to fail to try to keep the rear level. The proper fix is to replace the springs.
For todays price of one gallon of gas you could fill that Eldorado’s tank back when it was new. It required premium leaded gas and if it was gently driven might get 8 MPG! If you floored it you could literally watch the fuel gauge drop! Those were classy cars and this one is a nice example.
HI Craig, You're right one filling the tank for the price of a gallon today. Happy to share this nice example with you. Lou
I had a 1968 Eldorado and got an honest 15 mpg @ 70 mph. The 472 had loads of torque without cowboying the gas pedal.
Not a bad angle with that car. Hopefully GM electrics will give us a coupe as pretty as this soon.

The door sill plate says "Body By Fleetwood" and the firewall tag says "Body By Fisher". Interesting 🤔
Hi motorTranz, You're right, interesting. Lou
Nice clean car though 👍
Happy to read you enjoy this "Nice clean car" :-)
Lou, that big cylinder on top of the engine you pointed out: could that be the vacuum pump for the head lamp covers? At first, just like you, I was thinking it might be the air compressor for the rear suspension, which could still very well be the case. I just wondered was all. Beautiful vehicle!

correct me if I am wrong, but Fleetwood and Eldorado were completely different body styles. what made this allowable to use both names.

Ok well for the first time I have to say that is an awful color just have to be honest here in my opinion I have never seen that color on one of these. At least on one of these I can see it on chrysler of the early 70s it just doesn't work with the sharp body lines of these cadillac Eldorado's
Hi D Owen, Clearly this color is not for you :-( Hope you see many more cars on this CZcams Channel you'll enjoy the color :-) Lou
