Vehicle Description
Beginning in 1979, the Eighth Generation of Cadillac Eldorado was
introduced and carried through the 1985 model year. It was a
smaller, slimmer vehicle with several drivetrain variants used
along the way in an effort to meet stricter Federal emission and
fuel economy requirements from year to year. To help maintain
interior and trunk space, Cadillac also introduced an independent
rear suspension system. They shared the same E-body chassis
platform as the Buick Riviera and Oldsmobile Toronado with
front-wheel-drive. Bearing the name Biarritz meant a Cadillac was
equipped with the top tier package that included a brushed
stainless-steel roof that covered the front passenger compartment
with the rear half being covered with a padded landau vinyl top.
The interior showcases "pillowed" style velour or leather seating
with contrasting piping, along with many other options.
It's no surprise that the Eldorado was featured by Hagerty in their
December 2023 article "The 1979-85 Cadillac Eldorado is slow, soft,
and superb."

Having sold new to its first North Carolina owner in August 1983
from Coral Cadillac of Pompano, Beach, Florida, it would trade
hands only one time in July 1985 with 16,052 miles on the odometer
to a residence of Deerfield Beach, FL. Today, it shows only 40,170
miles! It has remained garage-kept and exceptionally well cared for
by this former owner/collector for the past 39 years. It was moved
from Florida to Missouri in 1991 and parked in a climate-controlled
collection when not in use, adding miles to the odometer on the
fairest weather days. Since its arrival at our museum, we have
continued to care for this beautiful Eldorado in preparation for
sale with new whitewall tires, alternator, muffler, drive belts,
lower ball joint, transmission bushing, shift shaft bushing,
antenna cable, submersible fuel line, fuel filter, air filter,
engine oil change with filter, and the air conditioning was
retrofitted to accept R134a refrigerant. This Cadillac comes with
an extra set of keys, all factory owner's manuals, original spare
tire & tools, and a clean CarFax report. Thank you for your
interest and please feel free to contact us with any questions.
