Vehicle Description
1977 Cadillac ELdorado Biarritz
From the 1977 Ad campaign: Eldorado by Cadillac Whatever Eldorado
you choose you'll enjoy the rare blend of excitement and elegance
that's made Eldorado a legend in its time. With the performance of
front wheel drive, 4 wheel disc brakes, variable ratio power
steering, and automatic level control, with the luxury of front
seat roominess all standard.
For consignment, plucked right out of the way back machine Sherman
is this 1977 Cadillac Eldorado. This example in Florentine Firemist
Gold, and all the amenities one could ever imagine, will whisk you
down the highway effortlessly and in ultimate comfort. Need I say
more?
Exterior
Florentine Firemist Gold even sounds luxurious and indeed it is!
This car shows good paint, with a few dents and dings, and all the
filler panels are missing between the bumpers and body panels. A
few areas of rust bubbling on the rockers especially, but the gold
padded vinyl landau top with opera window and light are looking
good and clean. Chrome and trimmings of stainless steel are in good
condition as is the orange pin striping adorning the sides of this
big slab steel automobile. Big dish wheel coverings with gold
painted centers are on all 4 corners.
Interior
Gold molded plastic, faux wood grain and some padded leather
textured vinyl adorns the large door panels of the interior. A
brushed stainless panel within the door handle/ armrest, powers the
windows, locks and side view mirror. A band of gold carpeting
covers the door panel bottoms. In front a split bench wide chair
buttoned and tufted with square buttons leather material luxury
seat is in. It has a sheepskin covering on the drivers and
passengers' seats, and the large back bench is looking very good.
The clean original dash stretches across the front, and it bleeds
GM design of the 1970's with square and rectangle design, wood
applique and plenty of padded vinyl. Gold carpeting is on the
floors and shows a few smudges and dark spots.
Drivetrain
A big 425ci V8 with a single 4-barrel carburetor is on top. A TH425
3-speed automatic is on the back and 2.73 final drive ratio puts
the power to the ground. This is a front wheel drive car so look
MA! NO HUMP!!
Undercarriage
Some surface rust peppers various areas of the framing and
suspension, but it is overall very light. Patina undercoating is
the norm with the engine showing oiling on the bottom end. Torsion
bar front suspension, and 4 link with coil springs for the back
provides the ride, and power disc brakes are all around for the
stopping.
Drive-Ability
I had to adjust my field of view to be able to gain judgement with
these big steel slabs surrounding me. All was well though and I
took off for a cruise fiddling with all the power controls,
adjusting the seat, tuning the stereo, and experiencing the big car
ride. All was good save for the power antenna not going up, and the
HVAC only worked on defrost mode.
A large, gold luxury liner, decent paint in need of fillers which
have long since gone by the wayside, but the interior is clean and
well appointed, and the car drives like a dream.
