1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz

One of the purposes of studying history is to find iconic symbols that represent a certain period of that moment in history.  We all know that after World War II, Americans were very proud and decided to flaunt it in their automotive design.  As the years went on the cars got bigger, more elaborate, with more accessories and special colors.  The 1978 Cadillac was probably the last in the series of post-war design that represent that momentum. 

Keep in mind that during the late 1970s, incomes were high, taxes were low and the automotive manufacturers could afford to put in the excesses that were desirable and expected and that the wealthy could afford.  Just look to the interior of this car for sale, there is no way it could be more posh and elaborate.  It is made with the finest leather with the goal of having the most comfortable car seats ever put into a car.  Even though these cars were expensive for a traveling salesman, in the 1970s many used these cars because they could drive for 12-14 hours a day and still be somewhat refreshed after driving all day.  There is no question that the 1978 Cadillac Eldorado is one of the most comfortable cross country American cars ever produced.

The car that you see before you is a car that has always been kept by the most fastidious owners and the car has absolutely minimum wear.  While the pictures make the car look like it is brand new, of course there is some slight wear here and there but as you can see it is not even picked up by the camera. 

So this is the car that made the two-tone brown color scheme the trend for the next five or six years on all cars from Detroit and also is the color scheme of the car used for the 1978 Cadillac Eldorado sales brochure.  Everybody loved the subtleties’ of the colors and this is by far the favorite color scheme for the 1978 Cadillac Eldorado.

Most car collectors love a big, long hood and certainly the 1978 Cadillac Eldorado used that formula for its great success.  You can drive this car over the roughest road and think you are on a newly resurfaced highway, that is how smooth these huge cars roll out the bumps. 

We know that Cadillac Eldorados of all years are especially popular in Australia, New Zealand and Sweden and we do require that foreign bidders get permission a head of time to bid but we do work with all out of country buyers to make a smooth transaction.

Today many of the options on this car were just coming out on the luxury cars of the 1970s; such as electronic level control, thermostatically controlled air conditioning, rear window defoggers, four wheel disc brakes and Twilight Sentinel along with a security alarm system, tilt telescopic steering wheel, sunroof and CB radio just to name a few. 

This car also includes new tires, new battery, owner and shop manual along with a CB manual (during the 1970s having a CB radio was as close to a cell phone as you could get).

To top all this off the original car has only 33,425 original miles.
