This 1998 classic speaks for itself. It was bought new in 1988 by a single lady (now 94 years old) and babied like an only child. This car was always stored in garage (with a rug on the floor) and handled with kid gloves. The features on this car will blow you away. It has every option imaginable for the year model. Electric seats, windows, locks, cruise, climate controlled AC/heat, auto dimming headlights, electronic driver information center, and more. The interior is a white leather. The seats are all in great condition. The driver’s seat shows a little wear (pictured) but is still very good for the age. There is a complete set of service records included with the car. The exterior is clean and free of any major damage. The car has been serviced, fluids changed, and new tires on 11/6/2014 The V8 engine shows an average of 38 MPG at 60 MPH. Plenty of power and still economical. The transmission shifts smooth and consistently. The car is ready to find its home in your driveway and be a friend to you for many years.

Caddy History: 1988 was met with an extensive restyle, and sales nearly doubled from the previous year, up to 33,210. While the wheelbase, doors, roof, and glass remained relatively unchanged, new body panels gave the 1988 model a more identifiable "Eldorado" appearance. Now available in just 17 exterior colors (previously 19), the new Eldorado was 3" longer than last year. Underneath the restyled hood was Cadillac's new 155 horsepower 4.5 liter V8. A comprehensive anti-lock braking system, developed by Teves, was newly available. Longer front fenders held "bladed" tips, and a new grille above the revamped front bumper. In back, new three-sided tail lamps - reminiscent of the 1987 Deville - appeared along with a new bumper and trunk lid. Bladed 14" aluminum wheels remained standard, while an optional 15" snowflake-pattern alloy wheel was included with the Touring Suspension option. The interior held wider front seat headrests and swing-away door pull handles (replacing the former door pull straps). New upholstery patterns, along with shoulder belts for outboard rear-seat passengers, appeared for both base and Biarritz models, with the latter bringing back the tufted-button design - last seen in the 1985 Eldorado Biarritz. A new vinyl roof option, covering the full roof top, featured a band of body color above the side door and windows - similar to the style used until 1978. This replaced the "cabriolet roof" option, which covered the rear half of the roof, introduced just a year earlier. With the Biarritz option package, the padded vinyl roof covered just the rear quarter of the roof top, behind the rear side windows. Biarritz also included slender vertical opera lamps, as in 1986 and '87, but now added a spear molding (similar to the style used on the 1976 - 1985 Eldorado Biarritz) that ran from the base of the roof top, continuing horizontally along the door, and down to the front fender tip. The standard power antenna was moved from the front passenger fender to the rear passenger fender. Pricing went up this year - to $24,891. This 1988 restyle would be the last, until the model was replaced by an all-new Eldorado for 1992
