1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz for sale! Motorcar Classics is proud to offer this magnificent 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible featured in the rare combination of Hampton Green with Ivory interior and brand-new white convertible top. As confirmed by the included build sheet from the Cadillac Heritage Center, these are the original colors, and the bucket seat interior, which was on only 99 of the 1,320 1959 Eldorado Biarritz built, is original to the car.
The 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz was a car of superlatives: The top-of-the-line open-air offering from America?s reigning luxury champion, the Eldorado Biarritz was powered by Cadillac?s most powerful V-8, came loaded with an enviable slate of standard features, and possessed some of the era?s most exciting styling. In fact, the 1959 Eldorado Biarritz is said to sport the tallest tailfins ever fitted to a production car. As the marque?s convertible flagship, each example of the model came very well equipped; power brakes and power steering were standard, as were power windows, vent windows, seat, door locks, and remote trunk release.
Our car has its original 390CI OHV V-8 Engine with three two-barrel carburetors producing 345bhp at 4,800rpm and driving through Cadillac?s 4-Speed Hydra-Matic Automatic Transmission. Additional factory equipment includes a WonderBar radio, clock, and matching parade boot. Our car is an older restoration whose paint and interior continue to present in concours condition. This stunning Eldorado Biarritz was the subject of a nut and bolt restoration that was completed in 2007, and it has been featured in three prestigious collections since. It runs and drives beautifully. In addition to the fresh top, the transmission was recently rebuilt.
