1985 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible
Family owned
This unique 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible was purchased new by my father from Coral Cadillac in Pompano Bch, Florida. It was his Florida car from 1985 until he passed away in 1996. I took the car, at that time with less than 45k miles, and drove it to my home in N Carolina, where it was driven for special occasions and sunny days, until I moved to Montana, when I put it in storage in our family's garage, in Ohio, for 5 years. During that time, it was started weekly but driven sparingly until I drove it across country from Ohio to MT in the summer of 2006. It has always been garaged since new...in Florida an air conditioned garage, in NC, and OH, and now in Montana a heated garage. I am the second registered owner of this 1 family owned vehicle.
I have just sold my home (with the heated garage) and moved into a smaller home with a single garage. I need the space, so I am offering to sell my Dad's car to someone who will enjoy it, and appreciate the uniqueness of the vehicle.
This is not a show car, but a very clean driver that is ALL original. There are a few things that need to be addressed: being a FL car, the bottoms of the doors are showing some rust that should be fixed; the driver's seat has minimal wear on the edges from 28 yrs of use (all original); the top, also original, is showing it's age with 2 tears at the corners from having the top down, and around the glass rear window; the exhaust resonator has a small hole and should be replaced; there is a small leak in the heater core that causes a fine mist to come from the AC when used. Other than that, Cadillac's HT4100 engine runs well. It has not had the normal main bearing problems most other 4100's had. The right rear quarter window motor operates, but the flexible cable has broken so the window has to be pushed down manually. It will raise with the motor. I have 2 replacement flexible gear cables. I also have a new-old stock OEM replacement convertible top, but without pads, cables, or rear window. The tires were replaced in the summer of 2006 before driving across country, and have less than 10,000 miles on them.
The mileage is accurate and original at 69518. Everything works including the cruise, power antennae, power seats, power top, dual power mirrors, automatic headlight sentinel, radio (except the cassette), the AC, the on-board fuel economy computer, digital speedo, fuel guage, and miles to empty, power closing trunk, and even the automatic leveling system. I replaced the original carpeted floor mats with reproduction, full width, mats in the late 90's, and still have the original mats in the trunk, along with the original trunk mat, and convertible top boot.
The car is located in the northwestern part of Montana...Whitefish, MT, near Glacier National Park...easily accessed by air via Delta, United, or Alaska airlines. It is the buyer's responsibility to arrange pickup or shipping. I do have access to car haulers who will arrange shipping to any part of the USA for a competitive cost. It is also advertised locally, and I have the right to end the auction early of sold locally.
I am offering this rare Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible at a very reasonable beginning price and reserve. Please do not ask the reserve. If you want to purchased the car, please bid accordingly.

Weekly Recap: Car-pedestrian crashes remained elevated in 2014
Sat, Feb 28 2015The death of American Horror Story: Freak Show star Ben Woolf served as a reminder this week that car crashes involving pedestrians remain a problem, and a new study issued on Thursday reinforced that the situation isn't really getting better. The Governors Highway Safety Association found a slight decline, 2.8 percent, in the number of pedestrian deaths in the first six months of 2014. Fatalities dropped from 2,141 to 2,125 compared with the same period in 2013, though the association says it's a statistical wash when factoring in undercounting. Deaths are still 15-percent higher than in 2009. "The number of deaths remains relatively high and is cause for concern," wrote Allan Williams, who compiled the report and is the former chief scientist at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. This is the first look at data from last year, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will issue its full-year results later. The GHSA found some progress on the roadways, as 24 states and the District of Columbia reported drops in pedestrian deaths. In some states, the problem isn't even a problem at all: Nebraska and Wyoming reported one fatality apiece, though large population centers in urban areas are where most accidents occur. "This is a clearly a good news, bad news scenario," Jonathan Adkins, GHSA executive director, said in a statement. "While we're encouraged that pedestrian fatalities haven't increased over the past two years, progress has been slow." Other News & Notes Cadillac previews CT6 during Oscars Cadillac previewed its upcoming flagship sedan, the CT6, in commercials that aired Sunday during the Oscars. As expected, the creased sedan carries on Cadillac's recent design language, and the car in the commercial looks like a larger version of the CTS and ATS sedans. The CT6 will be revealed this spring at the New York Auto Show and launch late this year. It will be assembled at General Motors' Detroit-Hamtramck factory on a rear-wheel-drive chassis, and the CT6 is the first car to use Cadillac's revised alpha-numeric naming scheme. The commercials also kicked off Cadillac's "Dare Greatly" campaign, which is the first with its new advertising agency, Publicis Worldwide. Honda unexpectedly changes CEOs Honda unexpectedly announced this week that it will change CEOs. Current chief Takanobu Ito will step down in June and be replaced by company veteran Takahiro Hachigo.
GM recalling Cadillac ATS, XTS, Chevy Impala over faulty brake lamps
Thu, 06 Jun 2013General Motors has issued a recall covering 1,627 sedans over faulty brake lamps. Both the 2013 Cadillac ATS and XTS are affected by this problem, as is the 2014 Chevrolet Impala.
According to an official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, "the brake lamps may intermittently flash without the brakes being applied and the cruise control may disengage" on these vehicles. The report does not state that the brakes themselves are faulty, but rather that "if the brake lamps flash when the vehicle is not slowing, a following driver may not adjust vehicle speed when the vehicle is in fact braking."
This marks the first recall for the 2013 Cadillac ATS, as well as the recently introduced 2014 Chevy Impala. In late 2012, over 12,000 Cadillac XTS models were recalled due to a head restraint issue.
Cadillac will kill the plug-in ELR
Tue, Feb 2 2016Johan de Nysschen, president of General Motors' Cadillac division, says Caddy's ELR extended-range plug-in won't have any future generations, Automotive News (subs. req.) says. The publication previously reported that the car would be around for another couple of years, but even that's questionable, and the model could be yanked even sooner. Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell confirmed that there won't be a second-generation ELR. "Subsequent generations of the car will not be developed," he wrote in an e-mail to Autoblog. "It's available currently as a 2016 model, and there's no change to that status." The model debuted in late 2013 and used a version of the powertrain in the Chevrolet Volt. The main problem, of course, was that the car had a $76,000 price tag that proved too much for most automobile buyers to stomach. Last year, GM sold 1,024 ELRs, down 22 percent from 2014's totals. By comparison, the Chevy Volt moved more than 15,000 units, and that itself was still down 18 percent from year-earlier figures. The merciful end to the ELR shouldn't be much of a surprise, as Cadillac Chief Marketing Officer Uwe Ellinghaus went on the record in December of essentially calling the model a dud. It's a far cry from the excitement, though, that the concept model of what was then called the Converj was unveiled to the public at the Detroit Auto Show in 2009. For those feeling misty-eyed or nostalgic, though, check here for Autoblog's First Drive impressions of the extended-range plug-in.
