This 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz convertible was reportedly the subject of a refurbishment completed in 2016 during prior ownership. The car is finished in Seminole Red over a red and white interior, and it is equipped with a 390ci V8 paired with a Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic transmission. Features include a power-operated white convertible top, triple carburetors, power-assisted steering, and air conditioning as well as power-assisted drum brakes, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, power windows, and a push-button AM radio. Acquired in 2022 by the selling dealer, this Eldorado Biarritz convertible is offered in Florida with paint-matched parade boot covers and a transferable New York registration document.

The Biarritz trim level specified bright trim that curved from the rear quarter panel along the upper beltline. This example was finished in Seminole Red (50) when new, and a repaint was commissioned during the refurbishment according to the selling dealer. Additional touches include quad headlamps, rear fender skirts, upright fins, and dual-bullet tail lights. A body-color three-piece parade boot accompanies the sale.
