The Cadillac Eldorado Elvis model remained in production for fifty years, from 1953 to 2003, in countless variations—yet it always held the brand’s flagship spot. Step into our vintage car rental and you’ll immediately spot this beauty: its nearly 20-foot length, signature boxy silhouette with iconic fin-taillights, and shocking Barbie-pink paint job make it impossible to miss.
The name itself conveys luxury. Legend has it that a secretary suggested it to a Cadillac executive, dubbing it after the “city of gold” because she felt nothing else could do the car justice. As a proud member of the General Motors family, Cadillac focuses on the American market, where multi-lane highways easily accommodate these colossal vehicles. But don’t worry—our drivers glide this wonderfully springy ride through Rome’s busy streets as if they were cruising down Route 66.
And yes, it’s a true American-style convertible with a power-operated top—ideal for summer, offering a refreshing breeze instead of relentless sun. The first Eldorado, as mentioned, rolled off the line in 1953 and was hailed as the pinnacle of American automotive luxury.
Its price tag topped $7,000—a staggering sum at the time, yet justified when you consider it had nothing to envy from its British rivals, all of which you’ll also find in our garage today.
The Cadillac is a car of a thousand facets. It never goes unnoticed and always brings a smile to young and old alike. To top it off, it’s incredibly camera-friendly—having featured in numerous TV events.
