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.

These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Let's say you just got a big promotion at work or the kids are moving out of the house, and you finally have some extra money. You decide to blow it all at once and treat yourself by upgrading your ride. Naturally, you look to a luxury automaker. What do you choose?
Models like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class may be tailor-made to introduce buyers to the premium segment, but a new study finds that they don't garner the highest rates of non-luxury customer conquests. It turns out that a Volvo leads among folks moving up to a premium brand, and it isn't even one that's made anymore, at that.
A recent study by Polk and IHS Automotive looked at what models had the highest rates of buyers upgrading from a non-luxury segment. The information comes from its new vehicle registration data through April 2014. All ten top models boasted conquest rates of over 50 percent, but the Volvo C70 led the field with 68.01 percent of its customers coming from non-premium brands.
Chip Foose is bringing life to a Cadillac sketch from 1935
Sun, Aug 7 2016General Motors, automotive home of Harley Earl, was a pioneer in the early days of car design. But for as many wild concept cars and even production cars as the company's studio created, there were still many that never got off the paper. Chip Foose is working to change the fate of one of those designs. According to Foose Design, Chip Foose's latest project is based on a sketch from 1935. Car dealer Wes Rydell and his wife Vivian commissioned a custom Cadillac coupe that was sketched out by GM designer Art Ross. It would take an existing Cadillac sedan, shorten it, lower it and give it a removable hardtop. The drawing is as far as the project got. Now Chip Foose is working on realizing the design in real life using a 1939 Cadillac Series 60 Sedan. He plans to follow the initial design brief, but with his own unique touches. He has also named the project "Madam X" in honor of what Harley Earl would call client projects. It is scheduled to be finished and ready for unveiling at the end of the summer. Foose is a well-known designer who has won some of America's most prestigious custom car awards such as the Ridler Award and designed vehicles for the TV show Overhaulin'. The final product should be quite a striking machine. You can see how it's coming along, as well as Foose's sketch of what the car will finally look like, in the gallery above.

Autoblog's ultimate holiday rides
Tue, Dec 16 2014Over the hills and through the woods, it's the time of year when many of us visit family and friends for the holidays. But getting there can be a chore. It's cold and snowy across much of the United States, and even if the climate is favorable, the drive to grandmother's house often is not. Think back to holiday road trips of yore: They probably included crying babies, antsy children, hungover adults and frequent bathrooms stops all around. Now, we're all at different life stages here at Autoblog, and the perfect car for one staffer might be as useful as a team of Budweiser Clydesdales to another. Some of us bounce from family event to family event with children and a labrador in tow, while others prefer a quieter, simpler holiday. But whatever the endeavor, we all need wheels. With that in mind, here is the unofficial Autoblog list of the ultimate cars in which to tackle the holiday season. 2015 Ferrari FF To borrow a chestnut from Top Gear presenter James May, "As you'd expect, I've done this properly." That oddly voluptuous ruby bolide in the photo above? It's a 2015 Ferrari FF – all 652 all-wheel-driven horsepower of it. What makes a Ferrari the ideal for holiday time in PaukertLand? My Midwestern winter breaks are wonderful, but they're typically frenetic and slushy, involving a lot of schlepping from house to house and even city to city, not to mention inevitable last-minute runs for forgotten presents and dinner ingredients. Needless to say, a powerful V12 is a welcome ally for such duties. And this one isn't just a friend when the road is clear. The FF has been gifted Ferrari's novel 4RM AWD system, and despite sitting lower to the ground than, say, an SUV, it's a pretty effective tool for real winter driving, especially when outfitted with a set of snow tires. Unlike other Ferraris, it's also a rather practical thing, with legitimate seating for four adults and 15.9 cubic feet of cargo space – that's precisely as much room as a Mercedes E-Class – and you can fold the rear chairs and cram 28.2 cubes-worth of holiday cheer in the back. Okay, so it's far from cheap and fuel economy isn't that great, but who cares? Just drop a paddle-shifted gear or two, bury the throttle and Repeat The Sounding Joy. Ain't the holidays grand? – Chris Paukert Executive Editor 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe My Mom gives out more presents than any other human being I've ever encountered.
