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.

2016 Cadillac ATS-V blasts into LA
Tue, 18 Nov 2014The first details about the 2016 Cadillac ATS-V recently hit the web ahead of the official debut at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Now, the latest model to wear Caddy's high-performance V moniker is officially official, and the specs are even better than initial rumors suggested.
The latest figures actually give the ATS-V a hair more power than first believed, with 455 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque pumping out of the twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6. With a standard electronic limited-slip differential keeping rear wheels in check, Cadillac claims that the model sprints to 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 185 mph. Buyers have two transmission choices that both offer launch control: a six-speed manual featuring Active Rev Match and no-lift shifting, or an eight-speed automatic.
Thoroughly revised suspension and braking systems should also mean that the ATS-V excels at more than just going in a straight line. The chassis itself receives extra bracing to boost overall stiffness by 25 percent over lesser ATS models. On top of that, a host of suspension upgrades front and rear, including third-generation Magnetic Ride Control dampers, mean quicker steering response and a tighter ride. Plus, Brembo six-piston calipers up front and four-pistons in the rear should bring rapid deceleration. To tune it all to the driver's whim, the Performance Traction Management system gives five settings to choose from for stability and traction control.
Reuss says GM diesel plans are still on pace
Fri, Oct 16 2015General Motors is not going to let Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal ruin its plans for a new line of efficient, torquey oil-burners, the company's Executive Vice President Mark Reuss said at a recent press event. "No way," Reuss responded when asked about cancelling the upcoming diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze and other vehicles. "The Cruze Diesel is too good not to do it." Slated for 2017, the compact is just the latest member of a diesel offensive that initially kicked off with the first Cruze Diesel and most recently saw the introduction of the oil-burning Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. Reuss also reassured those in attendance that there was "no delay" in development of Cadillac's diesel lineup. Cadillac is working on a line of four- and six-cylinder turbodiesels for Europe. They'd make their way into the US market, too, eventually. "It's a question of timing," Reuss said, according to Car and Driver. Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has caused automakers across the globe to at least reanalyze their diesel strategy. Jaguar Land Rover, which is preparing several diesel-powered models for the US market, went on record late last month to reaffirm its commitment to diesel.
