The 1959 Cadillac Eldorado is a car that was originally intended to be included in Midtown Madness 2, but was cut from the game due to licensing issues, despite the newer Cadillac Eldorado Touring Coupe being included in both Midtown Madness 1 and 2. This vehicle can still be used with the help of the MM2 Revisited mod (V4 or later) or by downloading it as a separate .ar file from The Midtown Madness Archive [1]or Midtown Madness 2 eXtreme. Some voice clips based on it have been recorded but are also unused, but still remain in the mm2audex.ar and mm2aud.ar files and can still be enabled by modding the game (only if this car is installed as a separate add-on).
This car also makes an appearance as a playable and unlockable vehicle in Midtown Madness 3. The classic boat car that was supposed to be featured in MM2 was based on the standard Eldorado model, while the one in MM3 is based on the Eldorado Seville model.
This vehicle was intended to be featured in an upcoming version of the infamous Steir mod, but it was never released.
Overview[]
In-Game Description[]
Cadillac 59 Eldorado
"The classic boat car. Not very fast, but it is much heavier than it looks. A solid choice for any condition that needs some extra power for the win."
Cadillac 59 Eldorado
"The classic boat car. With a solid steel body, the ride may be more lumbering than its modern counterpart, but it is also far more durable. Besides, you gotta love those fins!"
History[]
The first Cadillac Eldorado started out in 1953, as a low-production convertible model. It received a minor facelift in 1955, and given hardtop models, but the main update was in 1959, when the car underwent a massive redesign. The resulting product was the 1959 Cadillac Eldorado, one of the most iconic cars of its time and the most famous Cadillac ever built. 1966 saw the next redesign, turning it from an extravagant luxury land-yacht to a powerful muscle car. 1971's model returned to the luxury limousine idealogy; before in 1979, it was made into a more affordable machine. In 1986, the car's edges were rounded to give it a more modern look, before 1992, when it underwent its final redesign. Performance models of this eighth-generation model were sold as the Cadillac Eldorado Touring Coupe (which is the model actually used in Midtown Madness 1 and Midtown Madness 2) and the Eldorado Sport Coupe. The early 2000s saw the demise of the Eldorado and in 2002, production ceased completely.

- Seminole Red
- Ebony Black
- Agryle Blue
- Persian Sand
