1957 CADILLAC ELDORADO BIARRITZ CONVERTIBLE Original Paint * Original Chrome * Original Leather Interior Click on the arrow in the picture below to see video that
includes more photos. Double click on the arrow below to go to full screen. Just about everybody will agree that the most iconic 1950s
American classic is the Cadillac Eldorado. Of course the first Cadillac Eldorado was made in 1953 and
had serious sheet metal changes from the production convertible while the 1954 was a standard Cadillac convertible decorated with Eldorado
trim. The 1957 Cadillac Eldorado had entirely different sheet metal on the
rear end from the production Cadillac convertible. While it is
easy to clone a Cadillac convertible to an Eldorado when there are no sheet
metal changes it is almost impossible to clone a 1957 Cadillac convertible to a
1957 Eldorado because there are so many sheet metal differences.
There are those that consider the 1957 Cadillac
Eldorado Biarritz convertible to be the most elegant and in the best taste
(yes, the 1959 had bigger fins but many consider this model to be garish).
Those that restore 1957 Cadillac Eldorado convertibles know
that the original leather in this model was specially made with a special
texture that is extremely hard if not impossible to duplicate exactly on
restored car. Yes this car has the
beautiful original leather interior it was born with. The car that you see before you is in everybody’s favorite
combination of black exterior with a black and white leather interior (many black cars
had red and white interiors) and a white top and the original fiberglass boot. Yes, the interior leather in this car is 100% original. Just take a look at it, it is absolutely
gorgeous. Yes, yes the paint is
original and yes, yes the chrome is original. It is hard to beat that combination.
The current owner of the car who is an elderly gentleman is
the third owner who purchased the car in 2003 with only 27,000 miles on it and
since then he has put on another 24,000 miles, averaging about 2,200 miles a
year driving it to shows. One of
his longest trips to a show was a 160 mile round trip. This lets you know besides being one of
the best original 1957 in the U.S. it is also 100% a driver. Many cars that you can purchase today
are freshly restored with ten miles on them and are not sorted out. Sorting out on a restored car can take a year to get all the bugs out of the restoration. This car is original as put together by
Cadillac Motor Car Company in 1957 and has not mechanically been fooled with
and there are no known bugs to sort out.
Further we suggest that you take a look at the dashboard on
this car. If you know these Eldorados
you will be aware that the dashboards on these cars are usually beat up and get
chipped very easily; not this one, just look at the pictures. You should make special note that the
only thing that has been restored are the cosmetics in the engine. The frame, chassis, bottom of car have
been steam cleaned and as you can see it all looks exceptional.
1957 Cadillac Eldorados are held in the same high esteem as
the 1959 Eldorado except that recently the first 1957 Eldorado Biarritz convertible made
and restored to close to 100 points sold for $649,000 at the Hollywood Wheels
Auction in Florida and it was green in color. (Not the great color combination of this one!) Certainly we are not suggesting that
this car is anywhere near that price and the owner has put a reserve of book
value on it. However it is the only 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz with
original black paint, original black and white leather interior (carpet was replaced with NOS material), original
chrome and original fiberglass boot that is known to exist in such fine condition as we have been told.
The car of course has the original carburetion with the bat
wing air cleaner; original radio that has been upgraded on the backside to
AM/FM and the carpet has been replaced with N.O.S. material and may be the only change from original on this
car. If you are a Cadillac
collector or have a museum or just want the bench mark Cadillac Eldorado that
all other restorers will want to take a look at to see how things are when they
are supposed to be original. This
could be the car you are looking for.
We at MissChiTown couldn’t be more impressed with this classic and we
consider the reserve to be so low that it might as well not have a reserve.
Take a look at the pictures and accessory list and there is
no way that you will not be impressed. BID AND BE THE ENVY OF EVERY OTHER CADILLAC OWNER AND COLLECTOR.

Best Large SUVs of 2024
Tue, Dec 19 2023When it comes down to large SUVs, there's more to consider than price and just how large it is. First, it comes down to what's underneath the skin. Some are built on a truck-like body-on-frame chassis — this would be the traditional, literal definition of an "SUV." Others use car-like, unibody construction, which would make them a crossover. What really matters, though, is how you use them. For most American families, a large three-row crossover is going to be your best bet. They have loads of passenger and cargo space, and deliver superior fuel economy, handling and ride quality than those big traditional SUVs. They're cheaper, too. On the other hand, those traditional large SUVs like the Chevy Tahoe and Ford Expedition are better-suited for more heavy-duty tasks like towing. Most now have bigger third rows than big crossovers, while extended-length versions like the Chevy Suburban have way more cargo capacity behind their third rows than everything but an airport shuttle. As for luxury large SUVs, they fall into those same two categories as well, with American choices mostly being truck-based. The pros and cons of choosing one over another are similar. Below, you will find our list of the best large SUVs broken down into three categories: large family crossover, large traditional SUV and large luxury SUVs, which comprise both construction types. Best Large Family Crossovers | Best Large Traditional SUVs | Best Large Luxury SUVs Best Large Family Crossovers 2024 Honda Pilot Why it stands out: Exceptional storage and cargo space; unique second-row functionality; refined ride; versatile and capable TrailSport; advanced AWDCould be better: Subpar acceleration with lackadaisical transmission and engine response; so-so driver assistance tech Read our full 2024 Honda Pilot Review The Honda Pilot was completely redesigned for 2023. It maintains its predecessor's family-friendly packaging and overall focus, but it has injected a welcome sense of style (especially in the TrailSport pictured above) that makes it stand out much better from the big crossover crowd. The Pilot's restrained adornment and classic proportions are refreshing compared to the increasingly busy Kia Telluride, Hyundai Palisade and Subaru Ascent. Let's talk about practicality, though, which is ultimately the Pilot's best attribute.
Cadillac ELR getting massive discounts, some up to $14,000
Mon, Jul 14 2014Well, that didn't go as planned. General Motors had marketed the Cadillac ELR extended-range plug-in as a premium version of the Chevrolet Volt with some Caddy refinements. Now, it looks like that premium, at least from a price standpoint, is shrinking. Shoppers in a number of states are reporting that GM and its dealers are discounting the ELR in order to move more off dealer lots. The issue is that few people are biting at the official price tag of about $76,000, so GM has started offering as much as $8,000 worth of dealer and customer incentives, Transport Evolved reports. More recently, dealers in states such as Florida, Texas and Maryland are offering discounts in the $12,000-to-$14,000 range, and that's before any federal and state plug-in incentives kick in. It's not difficult to guess why. Through the first half of the year, GM sold fewer than 400 ELRs. Last month, Caddy moved just 97 units, or about as many as Tesla sells of its Model S in a day. Perpahs recent spy shots that reveal a test ELR that appears to up the sportiness quotient, with touches such as larger wheels and brakes, will also help sales. Check out Autoblog's "First Drive" impressions of the ELR here.
Cadillac Elmiraj Concept slinks in Leno's Garage
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Jay 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.
