ENGINE: Eight-Cylinder,
overhead 90° V type; bore 4.0“, stroke
3,625“; displacement 365 cu.
in. Engine mounted in rubber at three points.
335 HP. Compression ratio
10.25 to 1, for export models like my car:
8.6:1. Three, dual-barrel carburetor engine
on Eldorado.
PISTONS: Aluminum alloy, slipper type to reduce friction surfaces and permit nesting between crankshaft counterweights. Two compression rings, one oil ring with expander; top compression ring chrome-plated to minimize wear on cylinder walls. Recessed contour in piston head increases turbulence and thus assures fast, complete burning of fuel-air mixture.
CARBURETOR: Four-barrel downdraft with equalized manifolding; ; mechanical fuel pump; dry-pack type air cleaner; intake silencencer; automatic choke. Three dual barrel carburetors provided on the Eldorado engine.
EXHAUST SYSTEM: Dual
LUBRICATION: Full-pressure. Oil filter standard.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: 12-volt
GASOLINE TANK CAPACITY: 20 gallons.
HYDRA-MATIC DRIVE: Fully automatic, step-gear type. Controlled fluid coupling on forward gear set for smoother shifts. Provides two Drive Ranges, Lo Range and Reverse.
REAR AXLE: Hypoid, semifloating. Differential housing offset to provide straight line drive. Ratio is 3.07engine with 3.36 axle provided with the Eldorado.
FRONT SUSPENSION: Spherical joint with Cadillac independent, helical-coil type springs.

FRONT SUSPENSION: Spherical joint with Cadillac independent, helical-coil type springs.
REAR SUSPENSION: Four-link
drive. Rear springs are independent,
helicalcoil type.
AIR SUSPENSION: (optional at extra cost) Individual air springs at each wheel automatically adjust to maintain car height for best quality ride, uniform steering response and best appearance. Manual height control provided.
BRAKES: Cadillac Power Brakes. Low-pedal type. Effective brake lining area, 210,32 sq.in.
STEERING: Cadillac Hydraulic Power-Steering standard equipment with an over-all steering ratio of 19,5 to 1.
TURNING DIAMETER: 47,3"
FRAME: Cadillac tubular-center X frame permits lower body for improved appearance and greater stability. New body for improved appearance and greater stability. New U-shaped rear section vastly increases trunk capacity.
TIRES: Low-pressure, 4 ply, tubeless. 8.20x15
SABRE-SPOKE WHEELS: Heavy-gauge steel and aluminum.
TREAD: Front and rear, 61“.
WHEELBASE: 129,5“
OVER-ALL LENGTH: 223.4“
OVER-ALL HEIGHT: 57,9"
PRODUCTION: only 855 Sevilles were built which makes it the rarest Eldorado Coupe.
