This immaculate Eldorado Biarritz only has 30k miles.

This would be the last year for this Eldorado body which made it's debut in the fall of 1978(1979-1985). The exclusive Convertible Biarritz was made in very limited numbers in 1984 and 1985 only, and was the highest priced GM production car, even surpassing the Corvette's price tag. 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.

This beautiful Body style will long live as one of Cadillac’s most exclusive offerings. With only a two year run (84-85) this Eldorado is one of only 2,300 produced in 1985. Most were white with red leather. The Biarritz Convertible was the highest priced GM car in 1985, with a window sticker of $32,286 whereas the entry price for a regular Eldorado was $20,342. The Convertible pricing made the production limits realistic for the times.

Viewed through the long lens of history, these Eldorados continue to get better looking as the years go by. A unique ensemble of Cadillac tradition in design. 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. From a design standpoint, this was GM at it's finest hour. These Eldorados were the last of a classic style era which will never be produced again.

I have had the privilege of owning several of these Biarritz Convertibles in my 20+ years of Cadillac collecting, and this particular example is hands down the best firemist Convertible I have ever owned. This Biarritz was an estate car from a collector that has owned this car since 1987. With only 30k miles, this Cadillac needs no excuses and stands well to be a very lucrative long term investment.

There was a factory upcharge for the Autumn Maple Firemist paint, and personally I think it is the sharpest of the four color choices offered on the 1985 Convertible.

Rub strips are like new with no scrapes. Lenses are perfect.

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

GM's highest paint process and quality control went into the Corvettes and the Cadillac division.

No worries of cracking filler panels around the bumpers, these were just professionally replaced front and back.

Class at every angle.

Again, beautiful chrome with no rubs on the bumper rub strips. Body is laser straight. Very glossy paint.

Convertible top in excellent condition. No loose stitching anywhere.

Standard of Excellence

Not a single door ding in this Cadillac. None.

Perfect factory stance

Time capsule.

The rear of the car having definite styling cues from the 67-70 Eldorados.

I would hop in this car and drive it anywhere.

No curb rash on any of the wire wheels.

The leather in this car is amazing.

Leather perfection

This Eldorado is so fresh. Door panels are plump and free of cracks. Door jambs and hinge area are free of any rust or corrosion all the way around.

30k miles. Perfect Carfax on this Cadillac

Has all of the original floor mats plus the trunk mat.

This Cadillac runs very smooth and quiet and shifts beautifully. Ice cold Air conditioning was just switched over to R134. New belts, alternator and battery. Also just had a fresh tune-up and oil change. Very tight driving car.

Books and LOTS of records.

Original trunk mat and black vinyl parade boot cover.

Rear quarter windows go up and down quickly unlike several I have owned that were REAL slow. Notice the factory security system sticker.

Bid with confidence, win with high expectations!

Cadillac Elmiraj Concept slinks in Leno's Garage

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

Jay Leno's Garage has moved to Pebble Beach for the week. This time around, the affable comedian is taking a look at the Cadillac Elmiraj Concept that debuted during the Monterey car week, and is talking to General Motors vice president of global design, Ed Welburn.
There's plenty of reminiscing about what concept cars were like when these two were kids, before a fairly deep dive into the striking Elmiraj Concept itself. Welburn shares a few anecdotes about the design process behind the two-door concept, including how his designers changed his mind on the grille design.
After bringing up the Cimarron, Leno makes a solid point that the Elmiraj would be a solid production car that could even spawn a four-door variant. We couldn't agree more. Take a look below for the full video from Jay Leno's Garage.

Cadillac expects major growth in China

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

The US sales issues facing Cadillac are not being paralleled in the People's Republic of China, as a new report from Automotive News indicates the US luxury maker should see its sales increase by as much as 40 percent.
The report cites Cadillac's own forecasts, which put its 2014 sales in the PRC at 70,000 units after cresting 45,000 vehicles at the end of August. Provided the sales pace holds true through 2015, the brand would hit its new 100,000-unit sales goal, AN reports.
"We're very optimistic about the luxury market, we believe that the luxury market by 2016 here will become the largest luxury market in the world, surpassing even the size of luxury in Europe," GM China President Matthew Tsien told AN. "With [Cadillac president] Johan [de Nysschen], we have somebody that really is an executive that understands luxury, but he also is very, very keen on understanding what do we need here in China for Cadillac to be successful."

Cadillac to bolster CT sedans with XT crossovers

Wed, 01 Oct 2014

Cadillac is moving swiftly to change up its naming scheme. Barely over a week ago we received our first indication that it was considering a different name its the upcoming flagship sedan previously known as LTS. Then Cadillac not only revealed the model would be called CT6, but announced that it would set the stage with a massive overhaul of its model nomenclature. And now we have another piece of the puzzle.
According to Forbes, Cadillac will not only rename its sedans with the letters CT, but will realign its utility vehicles under the banner of XT - both to be followed by a number indicating its place in the lineup. The one exception will be the Escalade, whose nameplate has such a strong following that it would be foolish for Cadillac to cast it aside. That leaves only the SRX (pictured above), but makes room for a new crop of crossovers said to be in the works.
It's a similar approach which Cadillac's new boss Johan de Nysschen took in revising the naming scheme at Infiniti. While it's bound to ruffle some feathers and scratch some heads in the beginning - especially since the company's current flagship sedan is called XTS - it's equally sure to make sense of it all in the long run. All we need to know now is what Nysschen and his marketing chief Uwe Ellinghaus plan to call the coupes.
