Vehicle Description
365CI 2X4 BBL AUTOMATIC
REPRESENTS ONE OF ONLY 2,150 BIARRITZ CONVERTIBLES EVER MADE
FULLY OPTIONED WITH 365CI V8 WITH 2X4 CARBURETION
COMPLETE WITH CORRECT SABRE WHEELS AND HARD PARADE BOOT COVER
BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED IN PEARL WHITE OVER TURQUOISE AND WHITE
INTERIOR
ALL POWER FEATURES INCLUDING WINDOWS AND DRIVER'S SEAT
FULLY LOADED WITH ALL POWER FEATURES TO INCLUDE POWER STEERING AND
BRAKES, POWER WINDOWS, POWER SEAT, POWER TOP, PUSH BUTTON TRUNK
RELEASE, AND MORE! THE CADILLAC ELDORADO GAINED ADDITIONAL SUCCESS
IN THEIR SECOND GENERATION DESIGN, MAINLY DUE TO THE LOWERING OF
THE OVERALL COST FOR BUYERS. THIS WAS DUE TO UTILIZING THE SAME,
STANDARD BODY PANELS AS OTHER MODELS, AND IDENTIFYING THE ELDORADO
WITH SPECIFIC BODY DRIM, GOLD EMBLEMS, AND ALUMINUM PANELS. SINCE
THE ELDORADO'S INCEPTION, IT WAS ONLY AVAILABLE IN CONVERTIBLE
FORM, SO BY 1956, A NEW HARDTOP VERSION CALLED THE ELDORADO SEVILLE
WAS ADDED TO THE MODEL LINEUP. THIS RENAMED THE CONVERTIBLE MODELS
THE ELDORADO BIARRITZ. BOTH STYLES WERE QUITE RARE, WITH 4,900
SEVILLES AND 2,150 BIARRITZ PRODUCED IN 1956! THESE ACCOUNTED FOR
JUST 4% OF CADILLAC SALES!
A FULL MECHANICAL INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED AND THE FOLLOWING WAS
COMPLETED ON THIS VEHICLE: NEW FUEL PUMP, NEW HYDRAULIC TOP LIFTS
INSTALLED FOR THE CONVERTIBLE TOP; TOTALLY REBUILT THE ENTIRE FRONT
END WITH NEW CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS, KING PINS AND KING PIN BUSHINGS,
STABILIZER LINKS, REBUILT STEERING BOX, FULL BRAKE ADJUSTMENT, NEW
FUEL SENDING UNIT, NEW ENGINE OIL/FILTER, ALL NEW SPARK PLUGS, NEW
THERMOSTAT, COMPLETE COOLANT FLUSH, NEW UNDER HOOD INSULATION. THE
INTERIOR CARPET HAS ALSO BEEN COMPLETELY REPLACED. THE CAR REMAINS
WONDERFULLY RUST FREE, WITH VERY GOOD COSMETICS AND DRIVE
QUALITIES! WE INVITE INTERESTED BUYERS TO CALL WITH ADDITIONAL
QUESTIONS OR TO SCHEDULE A CHANCE TO SEE THIS CADILLAC IN PERSON.
IT MARKS A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A VERY SPECIAL PIECE OF EARLY
ELDORADO BIARRITZ HISTORY!
