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!

Best sport sedans for 2022 and 2023

Thu, Nov 11 2021

SUVs dominate the car industry at every size and price level, but some people still prefer the looks, and more importantly, the performance and comfort, of the traditional sedan. With a lower ride height, lighter weight and generally smaller size, they often are much more fun to drive, and can even be more comfortable. Sport sedans of course lean harder on the performance side of things, and are among the best options for sheer speed and fun, thanks to those inherent characteristics. We've rounded up the ones in the segment that do the sporty dance better than any others in 2024 to give you a handy guide when you're shopping for one of your own. You'll find a wide array of cars here including gas, electric and hybrid powertrains. They'll have manual and automatic transmissions and drive the front, rear or all four wheels. Technically a few hatchbacks have slipped in, but they're close enough in look and feel that we wanted to include them. And excluding them means you might miss out on some of the best-driving options available. You wouldn't want that, would you? Alfa Romeo Giulia Why it stands out: Punchy four-cylinder; astounding power from Quadrifoglio; light and nimble character; awesome shift paddlesCould be better: Clunky infotainment; sub-par switchgear Read our Alfa Romeo Giulia review We start this list with one of the most predictable inclusions: the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Yes, it's a stereotype that the Italian sport sedan is fun to drive, but the fact is, well, it is. The Giulia comes standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 280 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful four-cylinders in the segment. It's paired with a snappy and smooth eight-speed transmission and either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive.  The engine is lively and torquey, if a little short of revs, and the chassis feels super-light. The steering is eager and the car jumps into corners. We also highly recommend getting a version with the enormous and superb aluminum paddle shifters that make clicking through gears much more entertaining. And on the topic of the interior, it's attractive, but the various switches and knobs feels a little cheap, and the infotainment system is clunky. Of course there's also the incredible Giulia Quadrifoglio at the high end. It gets a Ferrari-derived twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 making 505 hp, and it's rear-wheel drive only.

Cadillac prepares to top its own 'Ring record with upcoming new CTS-V

Mon, 14 Jul 2014

It was a big deal back in 2008 when the original Cadillac CTS-V clocked a lap time of 7:59 at the Nürburgring, making it the fastest sedan ever to lap the Nordschleife to that date. Not many four-doors have bested that time since - the list consisting pretty much only of the Porsche Panamera Turbo - but now hot hatches are lapping faster than that, so you can bet that the new one will manage an even better time.
Now we've spotted the upcoming new CTS-based performance sedan several times before undergoing testing in locations around the world, but this is the first time we've seen it at the Nürburgring, apparently using the Goodyear Dunlop test facility as its base of operations (and still wearing Michigan manufacturer plates, incidentally). Considering how well the outgoing CTS-V performed and how much further you can bet Cadillac will push the envelop this time around, a new sedan lap record is almost a certainty - and we can only hope for an all-out war between Europe's performance sedan power houses to ensue.
