For 1979, a new, trimmer Eldorado was introduced, and for the first time the car shared its chassis with the Buick Riviera as well as the Toronado. Smaller 350 and 368 V8's replaced the 500 and 425 monsters of the preceding model, giving better fuel efficiency. For 1979, it was offered only with the Oldsmobile 350 as standard, with the diesel 350 available as an option. In 1980, the gas 350 was replaced with the Cadillac 368 except in California, where the Oldsmobile 350 was retained for that year. Independent rear suspension was adopted, helping retain rear-seat and trunk room in the smaller body. The most notable styling touch was an extreme notch-back roof-line, making the rear window almost vertical. Although downsized, these Eldorados were still substantial-sized cars with good room and power.The model year of 1985 was the last year for the Eldorado convertible. Because of its limited edition (around 2,300 total), the convertible models are now highly sought after by numerous collectors.
