Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz

Eldorado was Cadillac's halo, and the mid-fifties Biarritz convertible and Seville hardtop were priced close to double a standard Coupe de Ville. What the money bought was a hand-finished body with a distinct rear deck, wire wheels, and details found on no other Cadillac — including, on 1957–58 cars, the shark-fin rear treatment. The 365 cu in V8 with dual four-barrel carburettors delivered effortless torque, and the interiors were trimmed to order in leather and metal. These are among the most collected American luxury cars of the decade.Cadillac used precision manufacturing, electric starting and large multi-cylinder engines to establish itself as an early technical leader. By the post-war period it had become a global symbol of American luxury, with styling and equipment that often previewed wider industry trends.This example is fitted with an automatic gearbox, showing 36453 mi on the odometer (a displayed reading, not a guarantee of total distance).The dealer's own note on this car: One Of Just 1,800 Built.Stock number PC6562, VIN/chassis 5762056562.
