Similarities with the '72 Eldorado and other '72 Cadillacs

[The Tassie Devil(le)]

G'day all,

As you can see by my Avitar, I own a 1972 Eldorado Convertible, and I was wondering if anybody out there in this lovely World of ours, and beyond, might know what parts will interchange between the 1972 Eldorado and the other 1972 Cadillac range of cars.   Oh, and not forgetting the '71 and '73 versions as well.

I realise that there is a VAST difference between the Front Wheel Drive Cadillacs and the Rear Wheel Drive versions, but I am after some items that might just be applicable to both styles.   This might just spread my searching for wanted parts.

The areas of concern are in the Dashboard area, Front Seat 6 way mechanisms for the 40/60 seat, and anything else that might fit.

Thanks in advance,

Bruce,

PS.   There are none here in Tasmania that I can compare with, and my car is still in USA, in Winter Storage..

Hi Bruce. It sounds like you need a Master Parts List covering those years. Mine are 1930-1969, no help. I don't think I'll ever do that new of Caddys, and won't fork out the 70-80 clams, but if you own that 73, maybe a wise purchase.

Brucie, the 1971 and 1972 Eldorados are nearly the same. You should get a Master Parts Book, as suggested, especially in your location. Our EX VP, Lars Kneller is doing a 1972 Eldo at present, and can always be counted on to help. Good luck.
