This immaculate 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz only has 32k miles.

 


This would be the last year for this Eldorado body which made it's debut in the fall of 1978(1979-1985). If ever there was a car that automotive enthusiasts and non-automotive enthusiasts alike will come together on, the Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz is the one. Most will agree that this is one of the best looking cars ever created. It get's approving comments whenever it is driven from the young, old, male, and female alike about how great looking it is. That makes a strong statement about the future collectability of these Eldorados.

 

 These Eldorados continue to get better looking as the years go by as well. A unique ensemble of Cadillac tradition in design with it's limo style rear window and the rear of the car having definite styling cues from the 67-70 Eldorados. The Biarritz package raised the bar considerably with it's stainless steel roof which was a nod back to the 57 and 58 Eldorado Broughams. The Biarritz also included a wide chrome strip perfectly placed across the roof and then sweeping down the tops of the doors on down to the end of the front fenders. Tufted leather or velour interiors were much more plush than the non-Biarritz Eldorado. Padded landau vinyl roofs were standard on the Biarritz as well.

 

    The demand for this body amongst collectors has never been higher. Cadillac aficionados are snapping the best examples up for their collections. Most prefer to own the last year of a body style and 1985 was the very last year for this incredible body style and from a design standpoint was GM at it's finest hour. These Eldorados were the last of a classic style era which will never be produced again.

 

This immaculate example is finished in a very classic color combination of Cotilian White with Carmine Red leather interior. Hard loaded with the astro-roof, memory seats, auto-dimming lights, twilight sentinel, extremely rare factory alloy touring wheels and the list goes on.

 

The essence of "personal luxury" this Biarritz drives like a dream.

1985 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz in Cotillian White with Carmine Red Leather interior.


I have had the privilege of owning quite a few of these Eldorados in my 20+ years of Cadillac collecting, and this particular example is hands down in the best condition of them all. This particular Eldorado was a one-owner car and has always been collector owned and garage kept.  With only 32k miles, this Cadillac needs no excuses and stands well to be a very lucrative long term investment. The best resale colors for these are white, red, blue and black.

This Cadillac has been professionally detailed and could be put directly into a car show as it sits.

The bumper rub strips are like new with no scrapes.

All lenses are clear and free of cracks.

Very rare factory touring wheels. There is an extra touring wheel in the trunk mounted on a matching Michelin tire.

 This Cadillac was ordered with a generous list of options, with a sticker price of almost $29k whereas a base Eldorado stickered for $21,319. Some of these options include; Touring wheels($429), Memory Drivers Seat($225), Leather Seating Area($680), Twilight Sentinel($85), Guidematic Head lamp Control($128), Astro Roof($1,225) Power Passenger seat recliner w/six-way power seat($380),  Electric Remote-control Outside Mirrors($101), Symphony Sound AM/FM Cassette ($299), Illuminated Vanity Mirrors Driver and Passenger($140), Illuminated Entry System($80), Rear Window Defogger including Heated Outside Mirrors($220), and the list goes on. 

 

Factory paint all the way around is very glossy. No fading anywhere on this car.

  Drivers side rocker panel,, flawless.

Class at every angle.

  No pitting on any of the chrome.

.

 

 

 Tail light lenses are clear and as new.

Not a single door ding on this car. none.

Proper factory stance.

 Chrome rocker panels are like the rest of the car,,,gorgeous.

Standard of Excellence

Perfect vinyl landau top.

Stainless steel roof

 

Door jambs and hinge area are free of any rust or corrosion all the way around.

This Biarritz is so fresh. Door panels are plump and free of cracks.

Rare Drivers memory seat

The leather in this car is amazing.

Clean rust free hinges

I would hop in this car and drive it anywhere.

This Cadillac has all of it's original front and rear floor mats including the trunk mat.

Time capsule.

Drivers seat leather perfection.

 

You can almost sum up a car's history just from the condition of the drivers seat..

32k miles. Perfect carfax on this Eldorado.

This is the icing on the cake to not only have the ultra rare touring wheels but to also have a perfect extra in the trunk!

Above is from the factory brochure showing the two wheel choices. Wire wheel hubcaps or the more expensive alluminum Touring Wheel. The real wire wheels you see on some eldorados are not factory original equipment. They were dealer added. White walls were also made smaller for 1985 whereas the 84 and older had 1.5 inch wide white wall tires.

This car runs very smooth and shifts excellent. Such a pleasure to drive.

 

 

 

Bid with confidence, win with high expectations!

Buy a Mosler Twinstar, the V16 Cadillac you almost wanted [w/video]

Wed, Dec 30 2015

Cadillac was once famous for opulent, V16 luxury vehicles, but this bizarre 16-cylinder 1999 Eldorado that's for auction on eBay Motors isn't much like its ancestors. Dubbed the TwinStar, this beast features a Northstar V8 with 275 horsepower to drive the front wheels and a second Northstar with 300 hp is in the trunk to spin the rear axle. Each mill has its own four-speed automatic gearbox, and the result is a total of 575 hp of all-wheel drive fury in an incredibly weird package. The TwinStar's interior and exterior certainly don't hide the odd powertrain setup. To fit the engine in the trunk, the builders pushed the rear wheels further back and lengthened the wheelbase. There are also scoops low on each side to funnel air to the V8. Inside, there's a second ignition on the side of the center stack, and a digital instrument cluster replaces the glove box. It's sure to confuse any passenger you can convince to take a ride in this thing. Mosler, the supercar company known for models like the MT900, built five TwinStars, according to the auction. The seller links to the original review by Car and Driver, and the magazine noted that the sensation of the two engines working in tandem was rather odd. However, the TwinStar was a capable performer and ran to 60 in 5 seconds in its test. If you want to start your new year with the oddest vehicle possible, the TwinStar's auction sits at $5,600 with the reserve not met as of this writing, and it ends January 2, 2016, at 8:00 PM ET. If you can't wait that long, the dealer lists the car online for $39,900. There's also a spirited conversation on Bring a Trailer about this automotive oddity.

What will the next Presidential limo look like?

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

With recent news that the Secret Service has begun soliciting proposals for a new armored limousine, we've been wondering what the next presidential limo might look like. The current machine, nicknamed "The Beast", has a design based on a car that's no longer sold: the Cadillac DTS. If General Motors gets the job again, which wouldn't be a surprise considering the government still owns a chunk of the company, the next limo's shape would likely resemble the new XTS (below, left). But Cadillac hasn't always been the go-to car company for presidential whips.
Lincoln has actually provided far more presidential limousines throughout history than Cadillac. In fact, the first car modified for Commander-in-Chief-carrying duty was a 1939 Lincoln K-Series called "Sunshine Special" used by Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the last Lincoln used by a president was a 1989 Town Car ordered for George H.W. Bush. If President Obama wanted a Lincoln today, it would likely be an amalgam of the MKS sedan and MKT crossover, as illustrated above.
And what about Chrysler? The only record we could find of a President favoring the Pentastar is Nixon, who reportedly ordered two limos from the company during his administration in the '70s, and then another one, known today as the "K-Car limo," in the '80s after he left office. Obama, however, has a personal - if modest - connection to Chryslers, having owned a 300 himself before he took office. A 300-based Beast (above, right) would certainly earn the U.S. some style points.

GM, Pilot will build EVgo fast chargers at 500 truck stops across U.S.

Thu, Jul 14 2022

All of our maps showing electric vehicle charging stations across the U.S. are going to need an update. Today, General Motors, Pilot and EVgo announced plans to work together on a nationwide DC fast charging network. The plan calls for 2,000 charging stalls that can deliver up to 350 kW to be installed at up to 500 Pilot and Flying J travel centers in the U.S. The goal is to have DC fast chargers available in 50-mile intervals across the country. The new charging stations will feature GM's "Ultium Charge 360" branding and "Pilot Flying J" logos but will not be limited to drivers of GM EVs. The plugs will use CCS connectors and be available to anyone. GM EV owners can take advantage of benefits, including the ability to make exclusive reservations, get discounts on charging costs and streamline the charging process with Plug and Charge and in-vehicle apps that can provide real-time charger availability. The first installation phase will take place in 2023, and "the bulk of the installations" should be completed by 2025, EVgo CEO Kathy Zoi said during a conference call with reporters announcing the plan. "We're gonna get going immediately and commence all of that engineering and planning stuff," she said. "We've got a pretty orderly plan." Pilot CEO Shameek Konar said the company expects the new EV charging stations to coexist with the current fuel infrastructure. "An average Pilot Flying J location is about 10 acres," Konar said. "This will be in addition to all of our gas pumps. The way I think about it is, this is a new source of energy that is going to coexist with gas for quite some time. We can debate how long, but we need to serve both groups of customers." Installing DC fast chargers at hundreds of Pilot's travel centers — aka truck stops — means there should be food, drinks, restrooms, WiFi and even showers available while you wait for an EV to charge. Pilot recently announced its “New Horizons” plan that will invest $1 billion in upgrading Pilot travel centers with more premium amenities, including expanded seating and lounge areas. While the exact amount of time it will take to charge an EV using these new stations will vary on the EV and its current state of charge, most EVs can refill from a low state of charge to around 80 percent in 20-30 minutes on a fast charger. The new stations are future-proofed to deliver up to 350 kW, a charge rate that few EVs today can handle.
