An Extraordinary example of a fine restoration done right. Everything fabricated Correct to factory specifications with not a single dollar spared and extra special attention given to every last detail. You would be hard pressed to find a finer example of a Show quality 62 Eldorado anywhere in the world.

 

In 1962 if you walked into the Cadillac dealer showroom they had many models to offer. If you wanted the very "top of the line" with all modern technologies and comforts you purchased the "Eldorado Biarritz". The very best Cadillac had the offer, a model that ONLY came in a Convertible. Fully loaded with power options including 6 way power seats, cruise control, windows, locks, convertible top, brakes, antenna, auto dimming headlights, auto trunk lid and much more.

This is a complete and total "frame on" restoration. Everything that can break and needs replacing has been replaced on this vehicle with no expense spared.

A list of items repaired, restored or replaced as follows:

New Convertible (Cr`eme) Top, New Radiator, New Heater Core, Refurbished "Wonderbar" Radio, New T-3 Headlights all around, New control valve, New Convertible hydraulic motor and lines, New Genuine Leather interior, Refurbished door panels and Sun visors, New Eldorado only option Parade Boot, New Carpeting, New front and Rear bumpers (Show Quality Chrome), New Brakes including Master Cylinder and hose lines, all 4 Wheel Cylinders and Break booster, Rebuilt Speedometer, New Fuel sending unit, New voltage regulator, Rebuilt Generator, 5 Brand New 235X75R15 Whitewall Mastercraft tires, Rebuilt windshield wiper motor, New wiper blades, New Front and Rear Springs, New A/C Delco Shocks all around, New factory correct "Tar-Top" A/C Delco Battery, Refurbished clock, New 6 way power electric seat motor, New Rubber seals for trunk, New door and window weather seals all around, Rebuilt Transmission, New front and rear correct 62 Cadillac floor mats and more...

 

As you can see from the photos this is a Show quality restoration that commands attention wherever it goes. Everything on car works as should. Car starts, drives, stops, shifts all as smoothly as a Cadillac should. There is no visible rust anywhere on this car. All interior and exterior lighting works as well as the turn signaling and horn. Car was painted 5 years ago in basecoat/clearcoat Cadillac color Driftwood Beige and interior is freshly NEW using Genuine Leather interior in a color combination known as Sandalwood. Every chrome and stainless piece has been polished or replaced making this Eldorado gleam in the Florida sun.

There were 160,840 Cadillac's produced in 1962 with only 1450 of them being an Eldorado Biarritz. There are believed to be less than 100 of these left in existence today and most of them are NOT in this restored condition. Most others are originals or now older restorations that need attention. Paint is near perfect, chrome is show and interior is Brand New leather (perfect). Everything is back "Original" to 1962 with no customization. This Eldorado needs nothing now to be considered show quality and is far beyond road worthy.

 

Anyone interested in this Vehicle needs to understand that with very few things to "Invest" money in nowadays, as long as kept in cool dry storage this Eldorado will skyrocket further in value in soon coming years.

Nada Values a 62 Series which was the entry level Convertible model at $47,300 currently.

This Eldorado Biarritz is a top level model. Years 1955-1961 Eldorado's are all worth near or over $100K this 1962 is next in line to head in that direction. We are honestly very sad to have to sell.

 

We would like to see this car go to good home who will take care of it and appreciate it as much as we have.

10 best new car deals of November 2021

Thu, Nov 4 2021

Sales of new cars, trucks and SUVs were drastically affected in 2020 due to the (still) ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The market started to show signs of recovery toward the end of last year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Of course, then pandemic-related parts and worker shortages along with global shipping constraints started running amok and causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. Those problems (among other things) have led to record-high new-car transaction prices in the United States. The good news is that there are still plenty of great deals on new cars. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for November 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).

2018 Cadillac CTS-V gets frosty with 115 Glacier Metallic Edition models

Sun, Aug 27 2017

To celebrate the company's 115th anniversary, Cadillac has introduced a special edition of the CTS-V called the Glacier Metallic Edition. Apparently, Cadillac really likes creating special edition models focused on ice and cold. The name comes from the exclusive Glacier Metallic paint, which to us looks like a shade of white, but according to Cadillac, it's actually gray. In addition to the special color, the car also includes the normally optional Carbon Fiber Package and Luxury Package, along with red Brembo brake calipers. It also fits silver and gray forged wheels instead of the black ones the Carbon Fiber Package typically comes with. All the other features, including driving instruction in Las Vegas, are the same as a normal CTS-V. This special edition Cadillac isn't cheap, though. It runs $103,885. Optioning out a regular CTS-V in the same way as the Glacier Metallic model would save you roughly $6,000, and you wouldn't be missing any features. What you would miss out on would be the exclusivity. Cadillac is only building 115 CTS-Vs in this special color. So if you want to stand out -- at least as much as you can with such a subtle color -- the CTS-V Glacier Metallic Edition is the Caddy to buy. Related Video:

2018 Cadillac XTS does its best CT6 impression

Mon, Jun 19 2017

Although the Cadillac sedan lineup almost exclusively consists of rear-drive sedans, one last bastion of the old front-drive Caddy exists in the XTS. And it looks like the old-school XTS isn't going anywhere, since it just got a refresh that makes it look more like the CT6 and the CTS. This of course is a bit ironic considering the fact that the CT6 will look different in the near future. Until then, though, this update does make the XTS look more up-to-date. The main part of the headlights end higher up on the front fascia, while a strip of LED accent lights waterfall down the front bumper. The grille has slightly more sculpted slats, and the front badge has been scaled down a bit. There are no longer creases that unify the main grille and the lower one in the bumper, which help the car appear lower and wider than the outgoing model. At the back, the license plate position has been moved down to the bumper, and the trunk lid has more lines and creases. The taillights now have horizontal elements that extend toward the middle of the car. The exhaust finishers and the reverse light also look larger and more prominent now. The refreshed XTS also brings a couple of new trim options. There are new wheel designs both in 19- and 20-inch sizes. Inside, XTS buyers will be able to choose from three new color and upholstery combinations. Two of them, however, are exclusive to the Platinum trim level and come with semi-aniline leather seats. There's not really anything new mechanically with the 2018 XTS. The only major change seems to be a new tire design that is quieter and provides a smoother ride. Otherwise, the XTS will remain available with either the standard 3.6-liter V6 making 304 horsepower, or the optional 410-horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 in the V-Sport model. The standard engine comes with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and the V-Sport is only available with all-wheel drive. Pricing has yet to be released for the 2018 model year.
