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.

Seinfeld and Don Rickles stretch out in classic Caddy for latest CiCGC
Thu, 04 Jul 2013It's no surprise that for the newest episode of Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, airing for the first time on the 4th of July, that a couple of American classics are involved. You'll Never Play the Copa unites Seinfeld with legendary curmudgeon Don Rickles, driving around in a stunner of a 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Seville in Gleneagles Green (upholstery wrapped in Grandma-spec plastic, of course).
Mr. Rickles really steals the show in this one - maybe our favorite CiCGC to date - though the Eldorado plays a strong-jawed costarring role, for sure. Stories about Ronald Regan, Frank Sinatra, Billy Graham and, of course, Herkie Styles are more than worth the price of admission. Check it out below.
General Motors posts record earnings, but global sales fall
Thu, Apr 21 2016General Motors started the year with record success. The automaker's $2.7 billion in adjusted earnings before interest and taxes was its highest ever in in the first quarter of 2016, up from $2.1 billion in from the same time period a year earlier. Net income grew to $1.95 billion, which was more than double the $953 million in the same period last year. The company's figures also beat analysts' predictions, according to the Detroit Free Press. Despite the financial growth, global sales actually decreased by 2.5 percent to 2.36 million vehicles. "We're growing where it counts, gaining retail share in the US, outpacing the industry in Europe and capitalizing on robust growth in SUV and luxury segments in China," CEO Mary Barra said in the company's financial announcement. GM did well in North America with an adjusted EBIT of $2.3 billion, up from $2.2 billion last year. Sales in the region also grew 1.2 percent to 800,000 vehicles. According to The Detroit Free Press, the company has been especially successful at selling more expensive models in the US. The company's average vehicle was $34,600 in Q1, about $3,000 more than the industry average. Elsewhere in the world, GM also showed improvement. Europe practically broke even after losing about $200 million last year, and Opel and Vauxhall sales grew 8.4 percent to more than 300,000 vehicles for the quarter. South America only lost $100 million, which was half as much as Q1 2015's $200 million loss. China remained flat at $500 million of income. Cadillac volume jumped 6.1 percent there, and Buick's deliveries increased 22 percent, thanks to the Envision crossover's success. GM Reports First-Quarter Net Income of $2.0 Billion 2016-04-21 EPS diluted of $1.24; First-quarter record EPS diluted-adjusted of $1.26 First-quarter record EBIT-adjusted of $2.7 billion GM Europe posts break-even performance DETROIT – General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) today announced first-quarter net income to common stockholders of $2.0 billion or $1.24 per diluted share, compared to $0.9 billion or $0.56 per diluted share a year ago. Earnings per share diluted-adjusted for special items was a first-quarter record at $1.26, up 47 percent compared to the first quarter of 2015. The company set first-quarter records for earnings and margin, with earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) adjusted of $2.7 billion and EBIT-adjusted margin of 7.1 percent.
OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles
Thu, 06 Jun 2013As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.
