Buyer’s notes

About the Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz

The Biarritz was the convertible Eldorado, and the 1959 car, with its famous tailfins, is the one most people picture. It came with a 345-horsepower V8 and a long list of power features as standard.

What moves the price

  • Originality: matching chassis and engine numbers on the build record.
  • Condition of the brightwork, hood and power equipment.
  • The quality of any restoration.

Before you buy, check

  • The build record against the car’s numbers and colours.
  • The power hood, windows and seats: all working.
  • Corrosion in the floors, sills and lower body.
