Here we have a car that you don’t see every day. This is a truly rare find because they made only 1800 of these and I assume that less than 500 are left alive.
This is a 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible. Cadillac produced 12 generations of the Eldorado. They were produced from 1952 to 2002, or as we call 50 years. In the middle of the 20th century, Cadillac launched the Eldorado Biarritz. This was a special version of the Eldorado and as Cadillac said only special people bought these such as Elvis Presley. When people saw you in a Biarritz they knew that you were a successful person. The price was over $7,000 and only rich and powerful people could afford these cars.
However, this one needs a lot of work. This particular car has sat in a barn for 53 years and it is in desperate need of TLC. However, if you are still reading this article then you know what you are seeing. This car still has its original running gear which is a 365 V8 hooked up to a 4-speed automatic transmission. The owner told us that it has original 60,000 miles, and I am sure that mileage will attract a lot of Cadillac fans. These cars in today’s money cost around $64,000 without options and now restored they can easily reach up to 6 figures.
If I had the money I would save this car without even thinking about it. They are very rare, luxurious, and even Elvis owned one, so you know it is a pretty special car.
If you had a lot of money would you save this beauty?
