The Eldorado was a halo car for Cadillac and marked the beginning of a long period of luxury leadership for the Eldorado nameplate and the Cadillac brand. Now, in our centennial year, we continue this leadership with a new generation of luxury vehicles, Mark LaNeve, Cadillac general manager said. In design and spirit, the much-anticipated Cadillac XLR, due out mid 2003, will take the place originally held by the Eldorado as Cadillac's truly American ultimate luxury roadster.

The final Eldorado produced at the Lansing Craft Centre will be donated to the Cadillac Museum in honor of Don Massey, of Don Massey Cadillac, formerly one of the largest Cadillac dealerships in the United States. Nicola Bulgari, vice chairman of Bulgari S.p.A., known for their fine BVLGARI jewelry and watches, will purchase the second to last Eldorado to roll off the assembly line to add to his collection of classic cars in Rome, Italy.

With the build-out of the Eldorado, the Lansing Craft Centre will begin preparations for production of the Chevy SSR.
