1957 CADILLAC ELDORADO BIARRITZ CONVERTIBLE Original Paint * Original Chrome * Original Leather Interior Click on the arrow in the picture below to see video that
includes more photos. Double click on the arrow below to go to full screen. Just about everybody will agree that the most iconic 1950s
American classic is the Cadillac Eldorado. Of course the first Cadillac Eldorado was made in 1953 and
had serious sheet metal changes from the production convertible while the 1954 was a standard Cadillac convertible decorated with Eldorado
trim. The 1957 Cadillac Eldorado had entirely different sheet metal on the
rear end from the production Cadillac convertible. While it is
easy to clone a Cadillac convertible to an Eldorado when there are no sheet
metal changes it is almost impossible to clone a 1957 Cadillac convertible to a
1957 Eldorado because there are so many sheet metal differences.
There are those that consider the 1957 Cadillac
Eldorado Biarritz convertible to be the most elegant and in the best taste
(yes, the 1959 had bigger fins but many consider this model to be garish).
Those that restore 1957 Cadillac Eldorado convertibles know
that the original leather in this model was specially made with a special
texture that is extremely hard if not impossible to duplicate exactly on
restored car. Yes this car has the
beautiful original leather interior it was born with. The car that you see before you is in everybody’s favorite
combination of black exterior with a black and white leather interior (many black cars
had red and white interiors) and a white top and the original fiberglass boot. Yes, the interior leather in this car is 100% original. Just take a look at it, it is absolutely
gorgeous. Yes, yes the paint is
original and yes, yes the chrome is original. It is hard to beat that combination.
The current owner of the car who is an elderly gentleman is
the third owner who purchased the car in 2003 with only 27,000 miles on it and
since then he has put on another 24,000 miles, averaging about 2,200 miles a
year driving it to shows. One of
his longest trips to a show was a 160 mile round trip. This lets you know besides being one of
the best original 1957 in the U.S. it is also 100% a driver. Many cars that you can purchase today
are freshly restored with ten miles on them and are not sorted out. Sorting out on a restored car can take a year to get all the bugs out of the restoration. This car is original as put together by
Cadillac Motor Car Company in 1957 and has not mechanically been fooled with
and there are no known bugs to sort out.
Further we suggest that you take a look at the dashboard on
this car. If you know these Eldorados
you will be aware that the dashboards on these cars are usually beat up and get
chipped very easily; not this one, just look at the pictures. You should make special note that the
only thing that has been restored are the cosmetics in the engine. The frame, chassis, bottom of car have
been steam cleaned and as you can see it all looks exceptional.
1957 Cadillac Eldorados are held in the same high esteem as
the 1959 Eldorado except that recently the first 1957 Eldorado Biarritz convertible made
and restored to close to 100 points sold for $649,000 at the Hollywood Wheels
Auction in Florida and it was green in color. (Not the great color combination of this one!) Certainly we are not suggesting that
this car is anywhere near that price and the owner has put a reserve of book
value on it. However it is the only 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz with
original black paint, original black and white leather interior (carpet was replaced with NOS material), original
chrome and original fiberglass boot that is known to exist in such fine condition as we have been told.
The car of course has the original carburetion with the bat
wing air cleaner; original radio that has been upgraded on the backside to
AM/FM and the carpet has been replaced with N.O.S. material and may be the only change from original on this
car. If you are a Cadillac
collector or have a museum or just want the bench mark Cadillac Eldorado that
all other restorers will want to take a look at to see how things are when they
are supposed to be original. This
could be the car you are looking for.
We at MissChiTown couldn’t be more impressed with this classic and we
consider the reserve to be so low that it might as well not have a reserve.
Take a look at the pictures and accessory list and there is
no way that you will not be impressed. BID AND BE THE ENVY OF EVERY OTHER CADILLAC OWNER AND COLLECTOR.

Cadillac welcomes back Entourage favorite Ari Gold
Mon, May 18 2015With publicity for the long-awaited Entourage movie ramping up, we're finding that one of the stars of the film happens to be the handsome Cadillac Ciel Concept convertible. It makes a number of appearances in the trailers with Vince, E, Turtle, and Johnny Drama cruising about, despite the fact that it isn't actually a production vehicle. We guess it pays to be Aquaman and Enzo Ferrari. Supporting its tie-in with the flim, Cadillac has enlisted Jeremy Piven, famed for his roll as outrageous, obnoxious, abrasive, and amusing talent agent Ari Gold, to star alongside its droptop sedan. The pair are the focus of a four-minute featurette welcoming the actor's character back while expounding on the series-ending cliffhanger that basically made the movie a sure thing. Take a look at the spot, which was directed and written by Entourage creator Doug Ellin. And be sure to check out the brotastic HBO series when it makes the jump to the big screen on June 3.
Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation
Sat, 09 Aug 2014
The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
2019 Autoblog Technology of the Year finalists revealed
Fri, Jan 4 2019Every fall, we line up a range of new models with the latest and most compelling automotive technology from the past year. We test everything from semi-autonomous systems like Tesla's Autopilot to trick suspension setups like the Multimatic spool-valve shocks on the Chevy Colorado ZR2. We spend months paring down the list to a small group of contenders. After testing, dinner and healthy debate, we tally up the votes and name our winner. For Autoblog's 2019 Technology of the Year Award, our three finalists are the Cadillac CT6 with Super Cruise, the Infiniti QX50 with Variable Compression Turbo and the Mercedes-AMG E 53 with EQ Boost. Super Cruise is an advanced SAE Level 2 semi-autonomous system, though Cadillac (unlike some of its rivals) is reluctant to push that point. Cadillac would like you to think of this as an advanced driver assistance feature rather than a semi-autonomous system. Super Cruise allows completely hands-free highway driving. Thanks to a driver-facing camera, the system forces the driver to keep his or her eyes on the road even if hands are off the wheel. Although the CT6 is being discontinued, look for Super Cruise to make its way to other Cadillacs soon. VC Turbo is a little more complicated. Basically, Infiniti's 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four can vary the compression ratio on the fly. In general, turbocharged engines are more efficient than naturally-aspirated engines when on boost, but can perform worse at low revs. VC Turbo allows for a best-of-both-worlds situation, increasing the compression at low revs and backing it off once the turbo spools up. The best part is that it does so seamlessly, with only a dash readout letting you know what's going on under the hood. Our third finalist is the EQ Boost 48-volt system in the Mercedes-AMG E 53. Like VC Turbo, EQ Boost does a lot just beneath the surface. Mercedes has developed a new turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six and paired it with a small electric motor. While the car can't run on electricity alone, the motor helps improve both efficiency and performance, smoothing shifts and filling in low-end torque before the turbos spool up. Think torque fill, similar to a McLaren P1. Who can complain about better fuel economy and more torque? Look for the 48-volt system to make its way into most of the Mercedes-Benz lineup. The winner will be revealed next week on Autoblog, and we'll present the award Jan. 15 at the Detroit Auto Show. Related Video:
