Vehicle Description
This 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible is an absolutely
stunning example of Cadillac's top of the line '59 convertible and
is a true American built icon! Few cars scream 50s Americana quite
like a 1959 Eldorado Biarritz, and the 1959 Cadillac line featured
perhaps the most spectacular style of any Cadillac ever produced.
What makes the '59 Cadillacs so memorable were their extraordinary
tail fins, a feature that had been incorporated into Cadillac's
post-war line since 1948. From their introduction and throughout
the 1950s, Cadillac's iconic tail fins had grown in size with the
gigantic 1959 fins being the pinnacle. The 1959 tail fins were of
course accented by a pair of the famous "bullet" taillights, which
added to the flamboyant rear look of the '59 Cadillac. However the
iconic tailfins and taillights were not the only changes to
Cadillacs in 1959, in fact, the entire car was redesigned. At the
nose, the 1959 hoods were flatter than previous years and were
wider as well. The triple deck "toothy" grilles, which were
specific to the Eldorado, were also updated and, since one
bejeweled grille was not enough, a matching one was added below the
decklid at the rear. Parking lights and turn signals were also now
incorporated into the front bumpers. The 1959 side profiles were
updated as well, giving the cars a more modern appearance. The
Eldorado Biarritz, sitting atop of the Cadillac convertible
hierarchy, featured additional trim and more standard options. With
options galore and a base MSRP of $7,400, the 1959 Eldorado
Biarritz was the pinnacle of 50s opulence and extravagance, and
they were and continue to be extremely rare with only 1,320
produced. Under the hood on this 1959 Eldorado is a Numbers
Matching 390 Cubic Inch V8 engine sitting below three dual barrel
carburetors that pushed out a whopping 345 horsepower in its day.
Exhaust exits the 345 hp 390 V8 via a dual exhaust setup which
gives this '59 Cadillac a nice throaty sound. The 390 V8 is backed
by a Hydra-Matic Automatic that ensures anybody can take this
classic Cadillac for a spin around the block. Being that this 1959
Eldorado Biarritz is a Cadillac, and a top-of-the-line model at
that, it is loaded with fantastic options! Power steering is a
wonderful option on a car of this size since it makes maneuvering
this convertible in and out of tight spaces at the local drive-in
or car show a total breeze. With power brakes, bringing this 5,000+
pound Cadillac to a stop is much easier as well. The Ivory vinyl
power convertible top is in fantastic condition and it goes up and
down with ease and is operated using an under dash switch. When the
convertible top is down, as it should be while you're cruising in
this Biarritz on a nice summer day, it sits below a matching parade
boot that is in superb condition and matches the exterior
appearance of the car. A set of rear fender skirts add the classic
50s look of this 1959 Eldorado and they are in great shape as well.
The chrome and brightwork around the exterior of this 1959 Eldo is
in wonderful condition and presents well. The exterior on this 1959
Eldorado Biarritz has been refinished in a beautiful Seminole Red
that gives this convertible a stand out look. A set of wide
whitewall tires paired with full Eldorado wheel covers complete the
exterior styling of this Cadillac. This interior on this Biarritz
is exquisite! The front bucket seats and rear bench seat have been
beautifully and correctly reupholstered in White Leather. The red
carpeting, red painted bucket seat backs, white and red upholstered
door panels, padded dash, and steering wheel are all in marvelous
condition and appear to be in their stock configuration. The dash
is equipped with a 120 MPH speedometer, temperature gauge, and fuel
gauge, as well as a clock and AM radio. Whether you've always
