But how about Kevin James’ Eldorado, as seen in the film Grown Ups, a film I have not seen, but I trust exists.

The ad claims it’s a “very rare coach built car - only like 200/250 made a year - costs $70k new!” Which leads to the following revelations: 1) 200/250 is 0.8 cars a year, which is very rare indeed. 2) My XJ8 retailed for more than a coach-built Eldorado. 3) my XJ8 is worth between $1600 (because it had its tens ioners replaced) and -$5000 (if the prospective buyer puts it in reverse and sees that the transmission is going to have to be rebuilt), therefore MSRP means nothing.

Wait, they didn’t sell that generation Eldorado drop top from the factory? Huh. Seems like they could have done well with that one...

I hope you appreciate how many police blotter posts I had to wade through to find this.

Nope, 19 76 was the last year for a factory Eldo convertible (which GM aggressively promoted as the “last ever America-made convertible, since everyone believed NHTSA was about to outlaw them totally).

They had an outside contractor, American Sunroof, I think, convert some of the ‘79-85 models, which were sold through Cadillac dealers with a GM warranty, but were not truly factory and only done in very small quantities.
