HISTORY OF THIS ELDORADO:  According to the factory build records, this Eldorado Biarritz was built on March 4^th, 1963, and delivered new to the Los Angeles W Seventh Street Branch (Outlet Code 811910).  Still retaining its original engine number 089852 (build records matches present engine).  Build records and the Trim Tag show original Ebony Black paint, black convertible top and black leather interior.

Sold new in Los Angeles and lived its life in Los Angeles until acquired by Classic Promenade in May 2024.  By January 1991, the Cadillac was owned by Don Tonks of Sepulveda, CA.  Don proceeded to commence a driving restoration.  There is a stack of receipts for the work he performed on the Eldorado.  The mileage reading on the odometer on January 14, 2000, was 37,807.  Don sold to Roy Tonks of San Dimas, CA on February 8, 2001.  The odometer reading was then 38,754.  The Eldorado now has 43,158 showing on its odometer.

The Ebony Black livery has been beautifully wet sanded and polished.  The shine and luster are fabulous.  Much of the chrome has been replated over the years and is overall in good condition.  The rear bumper has a couple of dings and the rear taillight surrounds have some pitting, but the overall presentation of the Eldorado is beautiful.  The Black vinyl power convertible top looks as new and works perfectly (the black vinyl top boot cover is original and has shrunk, no longer fitting properly).  The wide white walled radials are new and look great.

The interior has new black leather in the correct style and the seats have been rebuilt to provide original support.  The black carpeting was replaced earlier and looks great.  The wood veneer is in overall very good condition and is correct and original.  There are no cracks in the steering wheel nor on the dashboard cap.  The AM/FM stereo and power antenna work well and the air condition also blows nice and cold.  The interior also features tilt steering wheel, power door locks, power windows and front seat as well as a remote truck opener.  Overall, the interior looks very sharp and is correct.

The engine compartment has been well detailed, and we have performed a substantial amount of recommissioning work.  The venerable 390 cu in V8 has 325 hp and is driven through the four-speed Hydra-Matic transmission.  The ride is very smooth on its 129.5-inch wheelbase.  Restoration and service work performed by Don Tonks from 1992 through 1998 included body and paint work, seat and carpeting, chrome plating, convertible top, new tires, custom tonneau cover, mufflers and radiator re-cored and more.

Work performed June through August 2024 includes new leather seating front and rear, wet sanded, buffed and polished the Ebony Black paint, five new Hankook 235/75 R15 white wall radials (Winston Radials on it upon purchase were from 1996- photos in the photo gallery), replaced the intake manifold, new intake manifold and carburetor gaskets, rebuild the carburetor, new fuel pump, front end rebuild (strut rod bushing kit, ball joints, control arm bushings, center link assembly), air conditioning servicing, fixing vacuum leaks, clean and paint the undercarriage, major service with oil change and lube service.  At present, everything works with the exception of the clock and Autronitic eye.

We have priced this Eldorado Biarritz very well.  The Hagerty Value for this model (with the 10% premium for air conditioning) is $108,240 for a No. 2 example and $75, 130 for a No. 3 example.  We would say that this is a No. 2-.  See the Values here: 1963 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz | Hagerty Valuation Tools

This Cadillac was owned by Mr. Ronald Zappardino in La Jolla, California from 1985 until July 15th, 2013.  By 2013, the Biarritz had accumulated a mere 61,888 miles from new.  In 2013, we assisted our existing client, Michael Goh of Malaysia, with acquiring the Cadillac.  Before transporting it, Mr. Goh invested approximately $30,000 with Cadillac specialist Frank Nicodemus in New York.  He added it to his collection of American 1950’s luxury cars and enjoyed them for the past 10 to 15 years.  Before sending it back to us to sell, he rebuilt the suspension, replaced the red leather interior and had it repainted.  The Cadillac now has 64,289 miles.

The livery is in its original Black.  The paint quality is good and is very acceptable for local and regional shows but not up to concours standards.  The shine is beautiful with terrific luster, but there is some orange peeling, and the paint prep was just good.  Most of the chrome and stainless-steel trim is in beautiful condition.  Certain items, such as the door handles, are original and in good condition.  The bumpers and most of the other larger pieces have been refinished and look great.  The front grill and the rear trim pieces have been repainted rather than replated but look correct unless closely inspected.  The wide white walled radial tires look terrific with the gold-plated Saber wheels.  The black painted parade top cover is in excellent condition.

The livery is as per its original specification in Red Leather.  The leather is all new and looks and feels great.  The door panels, dashboard and steering wheel have not been restored and are in very nice original condition.  The dash pad appears to have been replaced at some point and looks nice.  Importantly, the steering wheel is in very nice condition which on this vintage Cadillac conveys much related to how it has been kept by its previous owners.  The carpeting appears to have been replaced at one point with correct material and is in good condition.

The engine compartment has been detailed and the original 365 cid V8 engine has been updated to a single four-barrel carburetor, replacing the three two barrels that the Eldorados were delivered with when new.  The valve covers and air cleaner housings are painted black rather than the original gold and the bat wing has been replaced with a Series 62 air cleaner housing.  The coolant has been upgraded to the Evans coolant and axillary cooling fans have been added, both excellent additions for touring.  All of the major suspension components and shocks have been replaced in the last year, making the driving experience wonderful.  Front and rear seatbelts have also been added.

We have this priced well.  The Hagerty No. 2 value is $124,000 and the No. 3 value is $75,900.  We believe this is a No. 2 minus condition.  See the Hagerty Value Here: 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz | Hagerty Valuation Tools

At $6,556, the Eldorado was nearly $1,800 more expensive than the lesser Series 62 Convertible. This Biarritz is one of 2,150 produced and was sent from the factory to Kansas City, KS.  By February 20, 1976, she was acquired by David Ventresca of Los Angeles, CA. The history file contains the original California title and many years of registrations. Mr. Ventresca had produced many award-winning Cadillacs. His 1953 Eldorado was included in the General Motors 2011 Cadillac Heritage Display at Pebble Beach. By 1980, the Biarritz was acquired by Harvey Stelte from Alberta, Canada to be restored. Mr. Stelte carefully and thoroughly disassembled the Biarritz for a rotisserie restoration and accumulated countless extra parts but failed to make further progress in his 35 years of ownership.  The Biarritz was stored until the current owner purchased her on July 23, 2015. The current owner began the extensive, photo documented, three-year restoration that was led by Art Wright Restorations in Tempe, AZ.  Each of the specialty trades were done by some of the most respected restoration professionals.  The restoration was completed in 2019 and the results are what we consider to be a better-than-new, stunning 1956 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. In her inaugural competition, she easily earned a Senior Award at the Cadillac & LaSalle Club 2019 Grand National Meet in Louisville, KY.

The gorgeous factory black paint (Paint Code 10) is absolutely stunning. She has incredible luster and is polished to perfection presenting a deep and rich mirror finish. The original and NOS trim details have all been meticulously replated and also polished to perfection. The door caps and side moldings are in as-new condition and devoid of imperfections. The 200-plus piece front grill was painstakingly completely disassembled and anodized in the correct gold color in California and includes a NOS Cadillac script logo. The gorgeous three-piece Sabre wheels were restored and anodized in the correct gold color by Valley Wire Wheels. She has perfect and correct new black vinyl power convertible top (Top Code 2) that had never been down before our photo shoot and operates flawlessly. The Parade Boot is in new condition and comes complete with the storage case which fits nicely into place inside the trunk with the factory correct holding straps.

The flawless black-on-black leather interior (Trim Code 11) is factory correct and was restored by Carl Kranston of Original Leather Interiors. It was a seven-month process which required seven cow hides, the most of any Cadillac model. The interior is well optioned and includes the signal-seeking Wonder Bar AM radio, EZ Eye glass (Accessory Code E), Heater (Accessory Code H), Autronic-Eye, Remote Control Trunk Lock (Accessory Code S) and Casco Automatic cigar/cigarette lighter. The overall attention to detail and finish of the interior is stunning and show as new, or better-than-new.

The engine compartment is in concours condition and shows as factory correct and new. The matching numbers drivetrain is powered by a newly rebuilt 365 ci overhead valve V-8 producing 305 hp through the dual 4-barrel carburetors. The power is transferred through a newly restored 4-speed Hydra-Matic Automatic Transmission. Her underbody has been coated in the factory-correct Red Oxide Primer and shows as new. All suspension parts and brakes are all correct and in new condition.  This Biarritz has completed less than 40 miles since the completion of the restoration.

The trunk is completely restored with new lining and shows beautifully. The spare wheel has the correct restored Sabre wheel, and the jack is also fully restored.

This Biarritz comes complete with photos recording the restoration process, extensive restoration documents, receipts, owner’s manuals, Cadillac advertising glamor brochure, Cadillac Shop Manual, Official Judging Manual, Authenticity Manual and Cadillac Parts List Manual.

The Biarritz was over $7,400 when new.  Mr. David Garfield bought her in 1979 in Michigan.  She had accumulated a mere 48,000 miles by that time.  Mr. Garfield took great pains to keep the Biarritz original and well preserved.  He had her faithfully serviced and maintained to be a safe driving car and even participated in the Woodward Dream Cruise one year.  Other than normal service and maintenance, Mr. Garfield added a new correct Ivory convertible top and new tires.  She is in incredible condition today, running and driving well and looking great!

The livery is all its original factory paint in the beautiful Desert Bronze Iridescent (Paint Code 98).  This is a gorgeous color that we would describe as a mixture of copper, pink and champagne.  The paint has a beautiful shine and luster as only lacquer can produce.  The paint has small imperfections as one would expect from 64 years and 52,000 miles.  The chrome and stainless trim is overall beautiful, with the bumpers, headlight surrounds and grill looking very nice and certain other trim pieces showing pitting.  We created a video reviewing this in detail.  The Biarritz has the Sabre wheels that are also original and show similar pitting.  These are stunning original optional wheels that look great on the car.  The Ivory power convertible top is newer and in excellent condition today.

The interior is is all original and stunning in its Coronado Copper Metallic Leather and tall pile carpeting (Trim Code 15 with mystery code X).  Again, these are all original.  The leather is very soft and in very nice condition with some seams splitting.  The dash pad and dash are in very nice condition as is the steering wheel, with no cracks or issues.  The radio has been upgraded to a later model Cadillac AM-FM with the original AM radio supplied with the car.  The interior lighting and gauges work well.

The venerable 365 cid V8 delivers 335 hp through the triple two barrel Rochester carburetors (“Tri Power”).  The drivetrain has accumulated 52,000 miles and performs well today.  Over the years, the transmission and carburetors have been rebuilt.  Everything functions well.  The engine compartment had many of the components painted black over the years.

The Hagerty Value is $95,400 for a No. 3 example, which with this being an incredible survivor is an apt assessment.  The NADA Retail Value is $205,000.

For more information and details, please call or text Harry Clark at +1.623.404.9042 or email us at sales@classicpromenade.com.  The Biarritz is available for viewing at our Phoenix showroom.

The post 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz appeared first on Classic Promenade.

This Eldorado was sold new in Pennsylvania and registered on May 17, 1964.  From 1979 through 1999, this Eldorado was enjoyed by Ted Walters. Mr. Walters was a long-time board member of the Cadillac LaSalle Club. The Eldorado was then acquired by Mr. Albert Cowles from King of Prussia, PA. During Albert’s 15 years of ownership, they steadily improved the car and showed it, amassing many first place wins all the while accumulating 22,000 miles driving her and loving her. The last caretakers have owned the Eldorado for about three (3) years and were very diligent about preserving her condition.  They drove her very little and she has been garaged during her time with them.  

The Eldorado’s livery has received a bare metal respray in 2017 in the original Firemist Aquamarine (Paint Code 94-2), finished with four coats of clear coat. And taking an Eldorado down to bare metal is no easy (nor inexpensive) task! The paint is gorgeous, and it has been blocked and sanded beautifully to provide an extremely deep luster and has few imperfections.  The chrome and stainless all are original and are in good to very good condition, with some light pitting on the interior fixtures. There is one small dent on the rear bumper. Cadillac had excellent quality chrome from the factory and this example has held up astonishingly well.  The white vinyl power convertible top works smoothly and well.  There are two very slight spots on the top, but is in overall excellent condition. The aquamarine convertible top boot fits very well and really finishes the look.  

The interior was redone in the correct Aquamarine (Trim Code 16) leather in 2007 and is in excellent condition today.  The paint and the leather go together beautifully. Most Eldorado’s don’t get restored with leather because of the expense, and this has been done beautifully- thus the numerous concours wins. The white convertible top was replaced along with the interior in 2004.  The top is a clean, fresh white that complements the streamlined ocean-like feel that the car presents.  We love the wood accents in the Eldorado. The wood veneers in this example are in nice condition. Some of the veneer has the original finish while others have been refinished. The aquamarine carpet is thick and beautiful. The dashboard is like new with no cracks or blemishes.  The steering wheel is in great condition with some minor wear, but no physical breaks or chips. 

Mechanically, this Eldorado drives wonderfully. The transmission received a new turbo and flexplate in 2018 and the venerable 429 cu in V8 engine was rebuilt in about 1980. With 340 hp, these Cadillac’s perform very well.  The brake master cylinder and power brake unit were replaced in 2018 as well. The air conditioning has been gone through but was disconnected when the brake work was completed. There was a new compressor and dryer installed. The engine compartment is well detailed and the chassis has been cleaned, painted and looks great.  

We have ordered a new set of five Coker Classic wide white walled radials to replace the existing set.  The white wall tires complement the fresh, white top and beautiful aquamarine color.  

Overall, this Cadillac Eldorado is a well-rounded, beautiful classic that is equally at home on the show field or on the weekend cruising! The trunk is well finished and is complete with the jack, wheel wrench and spare tire. This Eldorado comes complete with a case of trophies and other items.  

The NADA retail value is $72,975 and the Hagerty No. 2 Value is $68,700.  The 1960’s Eldorado’s are some of the fastest appreciating American convertibles and for good reason.  They are mechanically reliable, fun and easy to drive and enjoy and are truly iconic.  The 1964 Eldorado’s are the very last of the fins.

For more information and details, please call, text or email Harry Clark at +1.623.404.9042 or sales@classicpromenade.com. The Eldorado is proudly displayed in our Phoenix showroom.  

The post 1964 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible appeared first on Classic Promenade.

The Eldorado was part of the Fleetwood Series 63 and is the top-of-the-line for convertibles.  Generally, for every ten DeVille convertibles made, only one Eldorado was sold.  Only 1,870 Eldorado’s were made in 1964.  This makes them very rare and, we believe, are the model to collect, retain and enjoy.  This example was part of a very large collection for the past eight years.

The Eldorado’s livery is beautifully refinished in its original Firemist Saddle Metallic (Paint Code 97-1) and features its correct White vinyl convertible top (Top Code 1).  The paint has been professionally polished and is mirror finished and is without orange peel. The paint and body preparation was very well done.  It is a base coat, clear coat application that has deep brilliance.  There is a very small area the size of a pencil eraser on the drivers front fender where is a small blemish, which is barely visible.

The chrome and stainless steel are in good to very good condition.  The bumpers appear to have been rechromed and are very nice.  The original trim is in overall good condition, with normal scratches and blemishes from age and use.  The door handles have very minor pitting as seen in the photo gallery.  The white convertible top is in excellent condition and works very well.  The rear window is clear and in excellent condition.  There are two top boots: one that is older and original and a newer top boot that needs to be properly fitted to the snaps.  Overall, the Eldorado looks terrific and would be at home at local and regional car shows.

The interior has also been largely restored to its original white (Trim Code 10), but was finished in a high quality soft vinyl instead of leather.  The highlight is the very rare option of white bucket seats with the sporty center console trimmed in wood.  We would guess that only about 10% of the Eldorados have this option, making this one of the most desirable configurations for an open Cadillac.   The white vinyl is overall in very nice condition and is soft and supple with all of the attributes of leather.  The hand-rubbed African Baku wood paneling is everywhere throughout the interior, and is in excellent original condition.   The dash pad has been refinished and looks great.  The two-tone steering wheel is original and has a couple of small cracks as shown in the photo gallery.  This Eldorado also features the factory optional seat belts.

The power windows and power convertible top all work well.  The optional Soft Ray glass is in very good condition as well.  The air conditioning has been serviced and we are working on the controllers to ensure its operation.  We will update the status in the coming days.

The engine compartment is very well detailed.  The venerable 429 CID V8 produces 340 HP and performs very well.  The Turbo Hydromatic also performs as it should.  We believe the mileage is correct at 86,000 based on all the evidence, our inspection and test-drives.  This Eldorado has a beautiful and tight drive with its 129.5″ wheelbase.  Please refer to our 158-point inspection for details.  Included in the sale is the owners manual and original sales brochure.  The undercarriage is free of rot and is in very good condition, but has never been detailed.

For more information, please text, call or email Harry Clark at +1.623.404.9042 or sales@classicpromenade.com.  The Eldorado is located at our Phoenix showroom and we are pleased to help arrange transport worldwide.

Up for sale is a 1978 Cadillac Eldorado Custom Biarritz Coupé! This is an incredible find with only 28,000 original miles since new. This Cadillac has had one prior owner since new and has been garaged in California its entire life. Look closely at the detailed photos to see how clean this car is.

This Eldorado is loaded with factory options. We love the factory AM/FM 8-track tape with the optional installed Clarion cassette player! Seen in this car, are signature interior features, which include sumptuous button-tufted contoured pillow-style seating with glove-soft red leather and 50/50 dual comfort front seats.
The factory ‘dark carmine’ red exterior is equally as distinctive. The exclusive Cabriolet Roof is tailored in a richly textured red elk grain vinyl with French seams. The heavy padding is designed to change the lines of the car; it changes the shape and size of the rear quarter windows. It has a stylish ‘limousine-esque’ rear window treatment. Special accent striping, stainless-steel moldings, color-keyed wheel discs and “Biarritz” scripts affixed to the rear sail panels distinctly mark it as a Cadillac special edition. The Custom Biarritz is unique, even among other Cadillacs.

The present owner has spent considerable monies making this road worthy. It is ready for the next owner to enjoy.

In 1978, this car had a base price of $11,921.00 and once it was equipped with the Custom Biarritz package, a further $1,865.00 would have been added to the sticker price. The optional Astroroof would have cost an extra $2,946.00 for a grand total of $16,732.00 when this car was new.

This ’78 Eldorado is a magnificently equipped luxury coupé. Standard equipment includes: Automatic Climate Control with economy setting, power windows and door locks, six-way power seat, Soft-Ray tinted safety glass, AM/FM Signal-Seeking Stereo Radio with power antenna, quartz digital clock, and lamp monitors.
This “El-Dog” is powered by Cadillac’s 7.0 litre 16-valve, 425 CID V8 engine equipped with a Rochester 4-bbl downdraft Quadrajet carburetor. This engine produced a whopping 180 hp @ 4,000 rpm with 434 Nm (320 ft-lbs) of peak torque @ 2,000 rpm. It uses GM’s Turbo Hydra-Matic THM-425 3-speed automatic transmission driving the front wheels.
In its day, acceleration was rated as: 0-60 mph at a blistering 13.4 seconds, 0-100 mph in 47.1 seconds with a top speed in the 112mph range. It could do the ¼ mile @ 74 mph in 19.6 seconds. It is safe to say that an Eldorado is not built for speed, but these figures are excellent for an automobile as large and solidly built as the 1978 Eldorados.

Eldorados are specifically tuned to be more powerful than standard Cadillac models.
The Eldorado Custom Biarritz is one of the most refined Cadillacs in the history of the brand — virtually the definition of extravagance.
A Bit of History…
The Cadillac Eldorado is a personal luxury car that was manufactured and marketed by Cadillac from 1952 – 2002 over ten generations.
The title Eldorado was actually chosen through an internal competition to find a name for a 1952 concept vehicle which was made to commemorate Cadillac’s golden anniversary. Eldorado was proposed by Mary-Ann Marini (née Zukosky), a secretary in Cadillac’s merchandising department— and was subsequently adopted for a limited-edition convertible for model year 1953.
The nameplate Eldorado is a contraction of two Spanish words that translate as “the gilded (i.e., golden) one” — and also refers to El Dorado, the mythical South American “Lost City of Gold” that fascinated Spanish explorers so many years ago.
Cadillac began using the nameplates “Eldorado Seville” and “Eldorado Biarritz” to distinguish between the hardtop and convertible models (respectively) while both were offered, from 1956 through 1960 inclusively. The “Seville” name was dropped when the hardtop was initially discontinued (in 1961), but the Biarritz name continued through 1964. Beginning in 1965, the Eldorado became the ‘Fleetwood Eldorado’.

The Ebony black (Paint Code 10) is flawless and is complimented with the Red Leather (Trim code 19) with a black convertible top. It had originally been specified with a white top, but during the restoration it was decided that the black top would be more fitting and elegant. We certainly think it was a stunning choice. The Biarritz has most of the factory options, including the six way power windows and factory air conditioning.

The Cadillac was a very nice and solid example prior to restoration. And the restoration was performed to make it a competitive show car as well as a wonderful touring car. This would be a wonderful motorcar to add to a collection. It has yet to be shown to the public and would be accepted to most any concours event worldwide. We love the incredible design of the 1960 Biarritz. They are elegant and truly exemplify Americana.

For more information, please call or text Harry Clark at +1.623.404.9042 or email us at sales@classicpromenade.com. This Biarritz is available for inspection in the Chicago, Illinois area.

The post 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible, Beautiful Restoration appeared first on Classic Promenade.

The Bahama Blue metallic paint is beautiful, being complimented by the abundance of chrome and gold accents. The chrome is nearly all perfect. Only the very difficult door caps which have intricate ribbing and a few other pieces show the slightest imperfections. The gold plating is in very nice condition throughout and is stunning against the blue livery.

The interior is the correct and original blue and white English leather and is in very good to excellent condition. The leather is soft and supple. The blue carpet matting is beautiful and we love the bolt on foot plates, unique to the Eldorado. The dash is in excellent condition. The radio has a few pits on the push buttons and the steering wheel has never been restored and has some cracking present. The convertible top is in very nice condition and the car comes with the hard parade top boot covers. The inside headliner of the convertible shows some wear.

The power windows, power top, power trunk closure, power six-way adjustable seats all work well and the Cadillac features the Autronic eye for auto dimming of the headlights.

The gorgeous and intricate Eldorado saber wheels are beautiful and have wide whitewall radials. We love the incredibly rare all chrome continental kit on the rear of the Biarritz. We have only seen one with this rare dealer option.

The 364 CI Cadillac V8 is in excellent condition and was comprehensively rebuilt along with all systems of this car. The two Carter four barrel carburetors increase the engines output to 305 horsepower and look fantastic with the bat wing air cleaner housing. The engine compartment is completely detailed for concours competition and looks fantastic. The car runs and drives very well and has the feel of a low mile and very solid example. And the four-speed Hydramatic transmits the power to the road and works very well.

The frame-off restoration was performed by William Simpson from Canada and was completed in 1993. The car was a rust free Pacific Northwest car, making the integrity of the restoration that much easier. The restoration involved every nut and bolt and spared no expense. It was done very accurately and the Biarritz has been shown in multiple concours events in the Pacific Northwest. The restoration is painstakingly documented in a photograph album and we have a few of the photos in our photo gallery. The sale will be accompanied by copies of the receipt for the restoration and the maintenance work performed since then.

Mr. Simpson acquired the car in January of 1980 from Erving Neff of Ocean Park, Washington. The car has lived its life in the Pacific Northwest.

Befitting of the Biarritz, this stunning example has been featured on the cover and throughout Griot’s Garage Christmas catalog, as well as being an award winner at the LeMay Auto Museum and other events. The Biarritz stands out as much today as it did in 1956.

In 2019, there were two comparable sales at public auction, one sale at $250,000 and another at $160,000. As another comparison, the Hagerty No. 2 value is $140,000. This example is priced well.

For more details and information, please call or text Harry Clark at +1.623.404.9042 or email us at sales@classicpromenade.com. The Biarritz is available for inspection and viewing at our Phoenix, Arizona showroom.
