1957 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible
Just 1,800 Series 62 Eldorados were produced in the distinctive Biarritz trim – one of the top specifications of an already luxurious car. Notable changes over other Eldorados include a sloped rear deck and shorter tail fins, the wheels of the Biarritz were uncovered, and the rear bumper and quarter panels were generously garnished in chrome. Overall it had a more curvaceous, elegant look making it popular among the well-to-do. When first released the Biarritz would have been a favorite of Beverly Hills residents and a common sight on Rodeo Drive. This example, number 782, is fitted with the optional 6.0-liter V8 producing 325 horsepower, enough to quickly get the 5,0000 lb. car and six passengers up to highway speeds. The car’s Hydra-Matic transmission and power top, windows, brakes, steering, antenna, and seats put it decades ahead of its time and set a new standard for luxury cars in era. Owner Richard Davis will display this beautifully restored, Olympic White Biarritz at the 25th Annual Rodeo Drive Concours.
The Father’s Day Rodeo Drive Concours d’Elegance will host dozens of domestics, from pre-war Fords to the latest Teslas and everything in-between.
