Both the Eldorado Biarritz and the new Seville two-door Hardtop Coupe introduced in 1956 took their names from European cities. The Biarritz was a fashionable French seaside resort, and Seville a fabled old city in Spain. The very well-equipped Biarritz cam with power steering, power convertible top, power brakes, power windows, power antenna, and four-speed Hydramatic automatic transmissions. They wore a shark fin rear end, chrome door top trim, a distinctive twin-blade hood ornament, and skirt-less wheel openings. The 305 horsepower produced by the 365 cubic-inch V8 engine was 20 more than other Cadillacs thanks to twin four-barrel carburetors under a unique gold 'batwing' air cleaner. Production remained exclusive, guaranteed by its $6,556 price tag which was nearly $1,800 more than the lesser Series 62 Convertible.
This particular example was given a ground-up restoration approximately two decades ago, in the early 2000s. It is finished in cream over a tan leather interior and has a tan canvas convertible top. Original optional accessories include a signal-seeking AM radio, EZ Eye glass, and Autronic Eye.By Daniel Vaughan | Jun 2021
