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 previews upcoming new XT5 crossover [UPDATE]
Thu, Sep 10 2015UPDATE: Cadillac has released another three images, which we've added to the gallery above. Cadillac is gearing up to unveil its new XT5 crossover at the Dubai Motor Show in November. We've already seen what it'll look like - from a couple of angles, anyway - but the all-American luxury automaker has given us another taste of what's to come with a quartet of images released on its official Facebook page. Set to replace the SRX that's now six years old, the all-new XT5 adopts the new design language we've seen on newer Cadillacs of late. That's most particularly emphasized with those vertically integrated LED headlights. The sharply creased styling is also signature Cadillac, as is the egg-crate grille capped by the brand's wreath-less new emblem. The dark brown paint job also looks like it has a deep metallic flake to it, offset by satin brightwork where you might have once expected to see glinting chrome. (Then again, it could just be reflecting a uniform backdrop.) The XT5 is expected to be the first of several new Caddy crossovers to wear the letters XT. A smaller model (likely to be dubbed XT3) is tipped to slot in below, with a larger XT7 to slot in above – but still below the defiantly truck-based Escalade that's not about to go anywhere anytime soon. Sedans will continue to start their nameplates with the letters CT. But after a dozen years, the letters SRX will be retired from the Cadillac lexicon. Related Video:
GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software
Thu, 21 Mar 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.
Cadillac boss: Don't ask why we have so many sedans
Tue, Dec 1 2015Ugh, crossovers. Car-based, high-riding station wagons, for some reason, sell in absurd numbers and make automakers lots and lots of money. That's why automakers with a strong lineup of CUVs are running strong, while sedan-heavy brands are struggling. Cadillac is all too aware of this fact. While the company is preparing to launch the new CT6 luxury sedan, it's also realizing four sedans, a coupe, a crossover, and a $73,000, old-school, body-on-frame SUV does not a healthy lineup make. Worse, though, as Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen rued during the LA Auto Show, is that the new CT6 is joining a segment already oversaturated. While it's a big, expensive vehicle, it's not much bigger or more expensive than the CTS and XTS sedans. "Please don't ask me why we have three cars in the same segment," de Nysschen said, stopping midway through an interview with Automotive News on the CT6's market placement to make the crack. "That's a whole different subject." As for those CUVs, the new XT5 debuted in LA, and it will eventually be joined by another much-needed CUV in 2018, AN reports. Related Video:
