This 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible, one of 1,800 produced that year, has its origins in the 1953 Series 62, which Cadillac expanded to include the Harley Earl-designed Eldorado Convertible Coupe. The first Eldorado startled the public with its $7,750 price tag, but 532 buyers drove one home. Sales increased dramatically in the following two years, proving Cadillac had hit on just the right combination of style and exclusivity in a premium-priced automobile. Cadillac expanded the Eldorado line in 1956 to include the Seville Coupe and the Biarritz Convertible, both also designed by Earl and powered by an exclusive dual-carbureted 365 CI V-8.
Earl penned an even more beautiful and sporty design for 1957, with cleaner surfaces and the distinctive rear-end treatment that highlights this imposing and beautiful Gold Package example that comes complete with the original matching-numbers 365/325 HP V-8 with dual inline carburetors. Freshly refinished in sharp burgundy paint, this 1957 Biarritz features a black vinyl soft top and matching black leather interior, its freshly polished stainless-steel and chrome exterior trim dramatically complemented with gold Sabre wheels, matching gold front grille insert and “Biarritz” front fender script. New Coker wide whitewall tires maintain the period look.
The car’s many appointments include power steering and brakes, power windows, seat, trunk and convertible top (the latter with a new motor), signal-seeking radio with optional dimmer switch, Autronic Eye automatic headlight dimmer, correct Eldorado barrel clock and the original factory fiberglass parade boot. The car has recently been serviced and features a re-cored radiator, new interior carpet and a remanufactured dash pad from Dash Specialist of Medford, Oregon. This classic of American automotive design is perfect for both the show field and an afternoon of top-down cruising.
