Why couples look for a Cadillac Eldorado
The Cadillac Eldorado is not online at the moment, which is a shame if you love a grand American gesture. The Eldorado began in the early 1950s as Cadillac's exclusive flagship, often as a convertible. Later generations became luxury coupés, and from the 1970s the convertible made a return for a while. In every form, an Eldorado is long, low and covered in chrome.
As a wedding car, an open Eldorado makes a statement. You sit visibly and comfortably, with your dress spread across a wide bench seat, and the photographer has plenty to work with. The flip side: a car like this is big, and a convertible from that era has no air conditioning and little protection against a sudden shower. So plan a dry fallback, such as a roof that can be closed in good time or a covered spot for the photos. With a coupé that is not an issue, but the bride gets in through two long doors, which takes some practice with a train.
American convertibles and classics that are online
For an open American car, the Ford Mustang is the most obvious alternative: both classic and modern convertibles are available. If you want the length and chrome of a big 1950s land yacht, look at the Buick Roadmaster.
If what you really want is an open roof, whatever the make, take a look at all convertibles as wedding cars. The selection changes as rental companies add cars; if an Eldorado comes online later, it will appear here.
Frequently asked questions
Is a large American convertible a sensible choice in Dutch weather?
With good planning, yes. A classic convertible has a fabric roof that can be closed, but it does not always go up quickly and it sometimes leaks in heavy rain. Agree with the rental company that the final decision will be made on the morning itself. An open drive for the photos and a closed drive to the reception venue is a good compromise.
Where do you sit in a convertible with a bench seat?
American convertibles from that era often have a continuous bench seat, both front and back. With the roof down, you can sit in the back or even perch on the edge of the back seat, which looks lovely in photos but is only safe when the car is stationary or moving at walking pace. While driving, you simply stay seated, with your dress resting on the seat beside you.
How do you get a good photo of a long car?
A long car looks best from the side or at a slight angle from the front, in a spot with plenty of space around it. A straight driveway, an empty car park at an estate or a dyke road all work well. Ask the photographer to take a few steps back. With a convertible, make use of the open interior: the two of you together on the back seat, with the lines of the car around you.
Why can't we find a Cadillac Eldorado on the site?
Rental companies list their own cars online, and at the moment nobody has listed an Eldorado. There are other American classics and convertibles with a similar look and feel, though. As new cars are added regularly, it's worth checking this page again later.
