HIGHLIGHTS
The genius of GM Chief Designer Harley Earl, the Eldorado Biarritz Convertible, was the top-of-the-line model for 1957, with a base price of $7,286 with plenty of room for factory options. From the curved windshield to the softer curved sections of the body, placed on a new X-frame chassis, the 1957 model became a truly all-new car. Power was derived from the 6.0 liter/365ci V8, resulting in a staggering 325hp! Special two-tone leather combinations were offered on the interior while the exterior featured gold Sabre-spoke wheels finished in gold to match the scripts and grille on the car. Such luxury was only available to the extremely affluent, and only 1,800 examples were completed for 1957. As such, the 1957 Eldorado Biarritz Convertible remains one of the most highly sought-after models by collectors today!
The exceptional 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible featured here is finished in the stunning color combination of Black over gorgeous red and white leather interior, complimenting the black power-folding convertible top.
