package (code B)White Elk Grain Vinyl Cabriolet Padded Roof with
opera lamps and opera windows (code 11T) Despite 11 model years as
Cadillac?s richest two-door model, the Eldorado?s popularity
continued in 1977, uninhibited by rising gas prices earlier in the
decade. This example is one of Cadillac?s Biarritz models, the
Eldorado?s luxury package (code B). It is a low mileage example
showing 28,397 miles on the clock, sold mileage exempt due to age.
Made during the fourth week of April 1977 at GM?s Detroit, Michigan
(VIN code Q) factory, this Eldorado is dressed in Cotillion White
(code 11) with a matching Elk Grain Vinyl Cabriolet Padded Roof
with French seams along the rear and formal quarter windows plus
opera lamps (code 11T). The car?s body is solid and straight and
features a sunroof from American Sunroof Corporation (ASC). The
rear window has a grid defroster, the engine bay is extremely tidy,
the battery appears new and the car?s chrome bumpers are in good,
original condition. This big Cadillac rolls on American Classic
wide whitewall radials, size 235/75R15 all around. Each tire is
mounted to a steel wheel topped with body-colored, full-width wheel
covers. All tires and wheel covers are in very good order. Under
the huge, counterbalanced hood is Cadillac?s new-for-1977 425 CID
V-8 (VIN code S) (code L33) with four-barrel carburetor. Buttoned
to this motor is a Turbo Hydramatic 400 three-speed automatic
transmission. As expected, this Cadillac has a long list of driver
convenience features ? automatic climate control (A/C compressor is
not engaging), power steering, power disc brakes, cruise control
(code C), power windows, power locks, power sideview mirrors,
Soft-Ray tinted glass, power six-way driver and passenger front
seats, automatic level control (code L), Dual Comfort 50/50 split
front seat (code W), door edge guards (code D), illuminated entry
(code Z) and vanity mirrors (code G) and an ASC sunroof (code S).
Inside, the car has a striking color combo, white leather door
panels and headliner with crimson carpet, leather seats with
contoured pillows and dashboard (code 014). The 50/50 split-folding
seats with Sierra Grain leather and power assists are in overall
very good order, as is the matching carpet. The headliner is in
good, original order. The factory, two-spoke steering wheel looks
great, as do those white door panels and that red dash with a strip
of gauges and warning lights across the top. The shift lever with
its large knob is in good, original order and completing the
interior is a factory AM/FM stereo plus a clock. Power antenna is
inoperable. For 1977, the Eldorado received a new grille with a
finer crosshatch pattern. New vertical taillamps were relocated to
the bumper-fender extensions. New ?Eldorado? block-lettering
appeared on the hood face and new horizontal side marker lights
with ?Eldorado? block-lettering replaced the 'Eldorado' script on
the rear fenders. The convertible was dropped (although Custom
Coach of Lima, Ohio converted a few new 1977 and 1978s Eldorados
into coach convertibles using salvaged parts from earlier models).
The 500 CID V-8 of 1970?76 gave way to a new 425 CID V-8.Unlike the
Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham and De Ville, which both boasted the
opulent d'Elegance luxury package, Eldorado did not offer a similar
plush option. This was rectified late in the 1976 model year with
the Biarritz (a name last used for the 1964 Eldorado convertible)
package. The car featured unique exterior trim and the rear half of
the cabriolet roof was covered with a heavily padded landau vinyl
top accented with large ?opera? lights. The 1977?1978 interior
featured ?pillowed?-style, ?tufted? leather seating, while the 1976
interior did not. As with other Cadillac models, special order
contrasting upholstery piping and exterior colors were available.
Coupe competition to this Cadillac in 1977 included Buick?s
Riviera, Cadillac?s Coupe de Ville, Chrysler?s New Yorker and
Newport, Dodge?s Royal Monaco, Lincoln?s Continental Coupe and Mark
V, Mercury?s Marquis Brougham and Oldsmobile?s Toronado Brougham.
Big, brash and blaring, Cadillac?s Eldorado demanded attention
throughout most of the 1970s. Wealthy empty-nesters, a bachelor and
his golf buddies or a Cadillac fan who desired a long-distance
Interstate tourer when money was no object. Cadillac collectors,
those who seek 1970s-era cars and those who remember when Cadillac
was still considered to be the Standard of the World, should drop
by MotoeXotica Classic Cars and check out this spry Eldorado
Biarritz. VIN: 6L47S7Q276670 This car is currently located at our
