Sold on an actual mileage�title: Current mileage�65,758 In the late
1950s and early 1960s, few things signified you had arrived like
buying a new Cadillac. MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to offer
an example of that "arrival," a 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz
Convertible with low actual miles of 65,758, as provided from the
actual mileage title. Made in Detroit, Michigan, this car left the
factory with the following accessories - E-Z Eye Glass, heater ,
Tri-Power, air conditioning, and cruise control. Now dressed in red
with the Ivory top and a white leather interior, this big Caddy's
paint and trim are in excellent overall condition. The car's glass
is in very good shape, while the lights and chrome bumpers are in
excellent condition. The bodywork is straight and solid, the car's
engine bay is quite tidy and the battery appears new. This Cadillac
rolls on steel wheels topped with factory wheel covers and
Firestone FR721 whitewall tires, size 235/75R15 at all four
corners. The wheel covers and tires are all in very good order. A
brand new quality exhaust system was recently added from the dual
headers back. Under the big red hood is Cadillac's 390 CID V-8
engine, breathing through dual exhausts and making 345 horsepower,
courtesy of triple Rochester two-barrel carburetors and 10.5:1
compression. Buttoned to this brawny motor is a Hydramatic
four-speed automatic transmission. Driver convenience features are
lengthy - air-conditioning, power steering, power brakes, power
windows, six-way power front seats, power trunk pull down, power
vent windows, fog lamps and electric door locks. Inside, the car's
white leather interior is overall very good order. The split-front
bench and rear bench seats look good, as does the contrasting red
carpeting. The factory two-spoke steering wheel is present while
the inner door panels and instrument panel echo the interior's red
and white theme. The dash is in very good order overall while the
door liners are in satisfactory condition. Completing the interior
is a factory AM radio. Complete with seldom seen 3-piece
fiberglass, color matching parade boot. After the dizzying styling
heights of 1959, the 1960 Cadillacs had smoother, more restrained
styling. General changes included a full-width grille, the
elimination of pointed front bumper guards, increased restraint in
the application of chrome trim, lower tailfins with oval shaped
nacelles and front fender mounted directional indicator lamps.
External variations on the Seville two-door hardtop and Biarritz
convertible took the form of bright body sill highlights that
extended across the lower edge of fender skirts and Eldorado
lettering on the sides of the front fenders, just behind the
headlamps. This was the final year for the wraparound windshield. A
skeg, or fin-like crease, runs from behind the front wheel opening
to the rear of the car at the extreme lower bodysides. Standard
equipment included power brakes, power steering, automatic
transmission, dual back-up lamps, windshield wipers, two-speed
wipers, wheel discs, outside rearview mirror, vanity mirror, oil
filter, power windows, six-way power seats, heater, fog lamps,
Eldorado engine, radio with antenna and rear speaker, power vent
windows, air suspension, electric door locks, license frames, and
five whitewall tires. Technical highlights were finned rear drums
and a X-frame construction. Competition to this Eldorado
convertible in 1960 included Buick's Electra 225 Convertible,
Chrysler's 300F Convertible and New Yorker Convertible Coupe,
Lincoln's Mark V Convertible, Mercedes-Benz's 190 SL Convertible,
Mercury's Park Lane Convertible and Oldsmobile's 98 Convertible.
Car Life magazine chose the 1960 Cadillac as its "best buy in the
luxury field." Cadillacs from this era and of this stratum are
getting harder to find these days. If you want a boulevardier with
style, presence and lots of chrome, you owe it to yourself to come
by MotoeXotica Classic Cars today and take a look at this beauty.
