It looks like a convertible, but Cadillac didn't make any from 1977-1983 and after 1985. I guess that narrows the field to 1984-85 ...unless it's a custom job. |

ASC made convertibles in all those years. They were officially sold through Cadillac dealerships and had full GM warranty. |

Its not a convertable, it is a soft top. Many Cadillacs and Lincolns have this features on their models. |

Sorry, I still don´t think this is one of these cabriolet-style roof covers. If I watch the area below the rear window and the shape of same (compared to our former company car which is seen below), I´m almost sure this is one of the ASC Convertibles, officially marketed over the Cadillac dealers´ network.![[Image: 842wn5.th.jpg]](http://img245.imageshack.us/my.php?image=842wn5.jpg "http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/7484/842wn5.th.jpg") (1984 Eldorado Convertible in Michigan, a few days before they took it to Germany a few years ago) |

The roof indeed seems to have like "creases", it doesnt seem to be a vinyl roof. |

I agree that it's a convertabile cause u can see the back window which the window doesn't look hard at all so it indicates convertabile. |

but should ASC really be part of the name???? A lot of companies outsource the convertible conversion. For instance all Sunbirds and Cavaliers convertibles were also converted by ASC |

Cadillac is especially known for convertibles and these were normally built in-house (body by Fleetwood or Fisher). The official Cadillac convertible had been discontinued after 1976 and when they announced a new series for 1984, it was pretty much a sensation. There had been some conversions made by coachbuilders like Hess & Eisenhardt or American Custom Coachworks after 1976, but these were just coachbuilt cars. In 1984 the official convertible reappeared, but it wasn't actually factory-made. Many people still think they were, but that's wrong. Thus I think it's worth mentioning as an additional info. It's made from glass. .gif ";)") -- Last edit: 2008-12-25 23:39:46 |

That's because Mrs. Hess had style! |

Mrs. Hess's car. Fitting, as the Custom Coach was Hess & Eisenhardt |

This specific model (and year) was a tank! 200 pounds heavier than other trim levels. This generation Eldorado was essentially a re-badged variant of the Oldsmobile Toronado and Buick Riviera at the time (downsized from previous years). I'm not 100% sure, but I think this particular model and trim level may have been the most expensive vehicle Cadillac offered in 1984 (just above the Seville which was always the highest priced sedan). |
