Eldorado Special Biarritz Convertible Chassis Num: 5672035143   Sold for $114,400 at 2008 Worldwide Auctioneers. For 1957, there were big changes to the Series 62 as it now rested on a tubular X-frame and lost its side rails. This new design gave the car greater rigidity, an increase in length and wheelbase, and allowed the body to sit lower to the ground. The front was given rubber bumper guard tips, circular parking lamps integrated into the bumper design, revised side trim, and dual taillights. There were short, curved fins that were set inboard of the fenders. Above the traditional gold V on the rear deck was the name 'Eldorado' in small, block letters. If the model was a Biarritz or Seville, that name would appear in script on the upper leading edges of the front fenders. Other distinguishable markings for these two upper segment models were dual fins mounted on the front fender peaks. This vehicle is a 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible Coupe finished in Artic white with correct candy apple red and white interior and contrasting white top. Under the bonnet is a 300 horsepower motor that displaced 390 cubic-inches and mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. It is original and has not been restored. In 2008, the car was brought to the Hilton Head Sports & Classic Car Auction presented by the Worldwide Auctioneers. It was estimated to sell for $110,000 - $130,000. Those estimates were proven accurate as a high bid of $114,400, including buyer's premium, was enough to satisfy the vehicles reserve. The lot was sold. By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2008
