I prefer the 67. I like the hidden headlights and it has a cleaner look to me.

‘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

Back when Cadillacs were Cadillacs, and not just another indistinguishable shape in traffic.

The 67 interior just pops, every time you show it, it's eye candy

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!

I own a 1967 and enjoyed your video which enlightened me on a few features that I was my certain about.

Im not a Cadillac person generally, but I just looked up the 68, and that seems to be the perfect blend of these two.. I had thought the Signal lamps were on a model, but didn't know them enough.. I like the cornering lamps added to the 68 with the turn signals in the fender.. I think it looks the best.. Thanks for giving me new cars to think about...lol

Love the hideaway headlights way better! And you are correct when you compare these to the Lincolns, the interior materials are far superior in the Lincolns.

Hello Adam, both of these Eldorados are spectacular!!! I love the hidden headlights of the 67. The deep green color of the 69 is gorgeous!!! Thanks for sharing this fun comparison!!! 👍👍🙂

Hello Adam, thanks for another interesting video. Really enjoy your content. I’ve been a designer for General Motors most of my life. I find these older vehicles incredibly interesting. It is just amazing to think that this was all done on the board without the use of any computers.

[markbehr]

Both lovely cars. I prefer the 67, due to the concealed headlights, but the 68 is actually my favourite as I liked the 472 engine and the front parking lights.

My Dad had a 69 Eldo when it was nicest ride I had ever been in up to that point in my young life way back. I have an obsession for this style or era of come close...or have the impact they have on me. Cadillac's in general have been something special to me all of my life....

[SedanChevy]

This entire generation is a timeless masterpiece with great design. While I would've "settled" for a Coupe DeVille in this era, these were great lookers. Same goes for the Mark III, where I would've gone for a normal continental coupe instead of the Mark.

Another fine video. Not only these two fav cars but I really like your presentation style. Also really like the fact that when you reference other models or makes that you pop up an inset photo, very nice touch. Early Eldos Rock.

Great comparison video. I prefer the 67, just a beautiful car!
Thanks I enjoyed the video.

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.

[wildcat]

Interesting, the ‘69 looks wider than the ‘67. Probably because the parking lights on the ends pull the eye out farther. Iconically, I like the ‘67 better, but I agree, the ‘69 is better in several ways, as it should be being two years newer. Great episode, Adam!

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!

[michaelmullard]

I would take any of the Eldos from 1967 - 1970. Although I love the 1967 overall the most, the rear ended styling of the 1970 is my favorite. Awesome videos, Adam. Such great attention to detail about these historic vehicles.
