1957 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz

In an industrious postwar era shaped in no small part by its machines, the confidence and extravagance of 1950s America were seldom more perfectly expressed than in the Cadillac Eldorado. ‌ For 1957, the Eldorado Biarritz featured sculpted rear quarters and sharply pointed fins, giving the convertible tremendous presence. Beneath the hood, a dual-quad carbureted 365 cid V-8 produced 325 hp, channeled through a HydraMatic automatic transmission. ‌ Finished in Starlight Silver Metallic over black-and-white leather and a black top, this Biarritz was frame-off, rotisserie restored by Okoboji Classic Cars in Iowa, a process that reportedly took approximately 3,400 hours and two years. The restoration is extensively chronicled in an accompanying photographic album – and the result was rewarded with First in Class and Best of Show honors at the 2017 Des Moines Concours d’Elegance. ‌ The Cadillac features the distinctive Autronic Eye automatic headlight dimmer, and a RetroSound head unit maintains a period look while adding the ability to connect to a mobile device. The Eldorado is accompanied by an owner’s manual, shop manual and factory brochure, and represents a particularly compelling example of this iconic model. ‌ car
