Classic Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz

Cadillac founded in 1902, since 1910 belonging to General Motors, builds dream cars in the luxury premium segment. Cadillac stands for precision and quality and was named after the southwestern French town Cadillac on the Gironde. To prove the manufacturing precision of his company, Henry Martyn Leland, founder of Cadillac, had three Cadillacs completely disassembled in Great Britain in 1908. The parts were mixed together. Mechanics then reassembled the cars from the unsorted parts and performed a 500-mile test drive on the Brooklands course without any problems. Based on this success, the company motto developed to: "standard of the world".

The name Biarritz underlined the elegance of the Eldorado, inspired by the French chic of the 1950s.

In 1961, Bill Mitchell, protégé of Harley Earl, was tasked with designing the new Eldorado. Moving away from flamboyant fins and extravagant chrome, he crafted a more refined profile with resculptured fins, a split grille, and tailored fender skirts. The progressive new aesthetic was paired with the 390 cid V-8 engine and Hydra-Matic transmission, producing an impressive 325 hp.

This Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz was bought in 2013 in the Netherlands by the seller's father, to complete his Cadillac collection.

The Car was in need of an overhaul but the restoration was continuously postponed due to other tasks. After the seller's father passed away he decided to start restoring it in memory of his father. Now the car is ready to be driven and enjoyed by the next Cadillac Enthusiast. Scroll through the pictures to get a good overview of the quality.
