‘68 is my year of choice. Closely followed by ‘67. Some prefer the 472, which I love, but I find the 429 is a great engine, being derived from the 331. Plenty of differences between all four years from 1967-1970. Thanks for bringing these two together. BTW I love that Mark 3 too… it’s old school in design and gussied up yes, but it hits a different set of neurons

I think I’d go with the ‘69. The hidden headlights of the ‘67 are cool, but the exposed headlights look good, too, and are more in keeping with the traditional Cadillac look, plus the grille is better. I also like the signal lights as opposed to the fender caps up front and the rear treatment of the taillights and chrome is nicer. I also like vinyl tops for their formal look and texture, and the improved ride is also a factor because this generation of Eldorado needs what it can get! The final selling points are the 472 and the black interior as I’m not a big fan of red interiors personally. Too bad the ‘69 isn’t painted black also, though I must say that forest green color really works with the design. Both are fantastic machines, though!

The fender mounted turn signal on your 1969 first showed up on the 1968, doubling as the newly required front side marker light. Since it was not needed, the 67 got the blank fender cap, and the 68 an easy planned update with no fender mod.

I had a chance to buy a 1967 Eldorado from my neighbor in the late 1980's for $500. It was her father car who had passed away and not being used anymore. She let me driver the car for two days to see how I liked it. Well, I loved the car, but it needed a complete exhaust system and a little tender loving care too. It was Blue with a white top and white leather interior. The paint was slightly faded and might have buffed out, but straight and never in an accident. I wish I bought it, but I didn't and was hard to give back to my her after driving all over the place with no problems ,but a noisy exhaust rumble. Thanks for sharing your video. Those two Caddy's are awesome!

It was mostly because it was impractical to have a handle in the rear of the driver’s door for a passenger, when the driver had to get out to allow the passenger to Egress anyway. On the passenger’s side however, it’s possible that there may not be a front passenger, in which case, the rear passenger could open the door and let themselves out. This design continued until at least the 1980 model. My 1980 Eldorado Biarritz had the very same handle on the rear of the passenger door.

This change appears along with an improved car/ human interface via the new multifunction lever. Some people called it the "smart switch". I like the multifunction lever until the paint becomes worn and you can't see the markings for the cruise or wiper functions.

Thank you for the deep dive on these two, Adam. Never realized the many small differences aside from the obvious styling changes. There appears to be a real effort to make the Eldo look more like the rest of the Cadillac lineup - less far out there from a design perspective. GM did much the same thing with the Toronado in an effort to boost sales. Funny how they would try to boost sales by taking away some of the unique character of both vehicles AND take costs out by cheapening the interiors and using more common components as well. Definitely a case where two wrongs didn't make a right from an historic perspective. This doesn't take much away from any year of this first generation fwd Eldorado - a truly stunning design for any car, much less a production car designed to be stamped out in the thousands. It's funny that the second generation of the fwd Eldorado which appeared in 1971 sold much better and shared much more with the rest of the line, meeting GM sales AND cost sharing targets. Although interesting - and with apologies to all involved - from a drop-dead-gorgeous styling perspective it just isn't in the same league.

Hands down, the ‘67. I thin it was a mistake to eliminate the concealed headlamps. The exposed lamps make the car look heavy and chunky and they detract from the rest of the car’s lines, where as the concealed lamps contribute to the car’s svelte lines and attitude.

Really great video! I never realized there were so many differences between those years. I know heated seats were a rare option. I never noticed the black color rear window trim on 1967. Or I should say “body color” depending on the exterior paint color? And the rear window trim embossed to match the vinyl top grain pattern is interesting. I much prefer the hidden wipers, but the pork chop dog bone thingy is a bit weird. I never noticed the sharp crease down the center of the rear window! The door rear view mirrors: I like the big rectangular mirrors over the smaller round mirrors. I don’t care much for the dash on the 1969. Looks cheap. But I prefer the Cadillac emblem in the center of the steering wheel rather than the lower placement on the spoke on the 1967. Those front fender fillers (that later turned into front turn signal lights) always bothered me as I’ve seen so many that didn’t fit well. I have to think that in 1967 Cadillac knew those front fender caps would be gone in 1968, replaced by front turn signal lights. The hidden headlight front end blows the exposed headlight 1969 out of the water. The round rear side marker light is interesting. We don’t see a round marker light again until the 1973 Eldorado, I do believe. Thank you for pointing out the cylinder under the hood that operates the rear leveling shocks. When do we first see interval wipers on an Eldorado? Where is the radio antenna in these Eldorados? I’m guessing they are embedded in the windshield? Ralph Nader probably hated those razor edge rear taillights! I assume that tiny door for the fuel filler is part of the trunk lid and goes up with the trunk when you raise the trunk. On the 1969 I’d rather not have the vinyl roof, but the Cadillac emblems on the C pillars needs to be there! I’m glad the dealer added it. My 1994 Eldorado has the C pillar emblems, but I think it’s absent on the later model Eldorados.

Both nice cars, I actually prefer the 69. I generally like hidden headlights but these have a rather corse egg-crate pattern that I find somewhat garish, reminds me of the 68 Grand Prix grille. All those 67-70 Eldo’s had unacceptable ride quality for their price range and the so-so 67-68 interiors were further degraded in 69-70. But what great metal shaping, such dramatically proportioned and shaped cars! I think the front drive idea was a failure for these cars. If they were rear drive like the Riv they’d have nicer front axle placement, better ride, bette handling and steering and some of that front drive extra cost could have been send on better quality interior trim and sound proofing.

"Personal Luxury Car" not land yacht. The Eldo rode fine. Mag reviews of the time said the Eldo handled very well. Devilles wallowed. It was designed for a younger buyer not the typical Cadillac octogenarian. I agree with the looks on the 67. I think of a word YT won't allow. The 70s grill is better. No whizbangs on the fenders or tail lights. The car is actually not that long, certainly compared to a modern pickup. But it is hugely wide. You feel like you need an intercom to talk to the front seat passenger. I had the dash out and carried it in my 91 T Bird. Had to leave the window open. If you want a sofa, stay at home.

I'm having difficulty in understanding why the chrome piece around the rear window on the 67 Eldo is painted black. I find it hard to believe that it was originally painted that way from the factory. Is it possible that the 67 Eldo had a vinyl top and it was removed at one point and then the top was painted along with that chrome piece?? By the way, if I had to choose which one I prefer, I would go with the 67. But I believe that the 71 and 72 Eldos were absolutely beautiful. My high school band director had a 72 Eldo convertible and it was just so strikingly beautiful. He always got to the school early and parked it right in front and had the top down. He only drove it on clear days. Great video!

That's the most intelligent way to make a choice. While condition is "everything", overall value for the dollar is likely the determining factor when buying.

My Dad had a 1968 fully loaded Eldo. (the car that hooked me on Cadillacs) Metallic Brown, Tan interior, Vinyl top. Still to this day it's my favorite Cadillac. I remember washing it and looking at the details of the lighting and even at 9 years old liking it better than the 1967. I didn't like the turn signal placement on the 1967. Had the fender on the 67 been all one piece without filler it would have been outstanding but the filler looked after thought or that it didn't belong. I did also really like the 69 and 70 although not a fan of the razor tail lights. 1968 is my vote. Thanks for the video!

Such beautiful, elegant, crisp styling. For me, even with the vinyl roof; maybe even partly because of it, I like the 69 better. The front end styling to me is much cleaner.

One of a kind Halo roof. Look closely, its completely different from any other car.

The first generation FWD Eldorado is, in my opinion, one of few cars, that actually benefited visually from switching to exposed headlamps. Together with the fender located parking lamps the look is quite elegant.

One thing that always bothered me was the "cost cutting" aspect. If I started off owning a chevy, I would expect options to save weight, cost, price.etc. But if I became successful in life and could buy a Cadillac, I would expect real wood grain, gauges instead of blanks.etc.

GM is in the business of making money not cars. They of course used to make refrigerators and washers. These days they seem to be ineffective at doing anything. They are run by Wall Street to maximize share holder value. RIP. They will never again produce greatness.

Other than the lack of the square mirror I like the 67 better.I think the front is very handsome

Great review. Love to see one on the Riviera and Toronado of the same years.

It is a tough decision, but I actually ptefer the 1969 Eldorado over the 1967. Both are certainly very elegant

Agree, visually the '67 is more interesting.

A self-proclaimed “purist”, I tend to gravitate toward 1st year styling. I think it best represents the stylist’s “vision” for the vehicle and, though not as refined as later versions , I think the inherent “awkwardness” lends character. A classic case in point would be the 1971 vs 1972 full-size Cadillacs. For years, I preferred the “bejeweled” appearance of the 72’s front end; it had the inherent beauty of the 71 was with just a bit of refinement. But now I actually prefer the appearance of the 71. The bolder grille design & rather utilitarian appearance of the turn signals in the bumper provide more visual interest. These subtle styling cues effectively accentuate the power dome hood & the “hoods” over the headlights.

The ‘67 is the clear winner. Interesting that GM’s habit of de-contenting a car each year subsequent to first introducing it started in the 60s (or was it earlier) to improve profitability.

Granddad had a '67, so to me the '67 is and will always be the best of any iteration of the Eldorado. Doesn't hurt that it has a purity of form that only get diluted with each subsequent version, though I must admit that the 'sail' corner taillight on the '69 is a really sweet detail. But I had many a great ride in that ''67; memories that will forever linger.

The earlier version has more finesse, but I like the headlights and front end of the 1969. I suppose in a perfect world one could own a wardrobe of El Dorados and choose the appropriate one to suit the occasion.

One is enough. The 67 is mechanically inferior but some say more valuable.
