1953 was General Motors' 50th anniversary and they celebrated with the introduction of the Buick Skylark, Oldsmobile Fiesta, and the Cadillac Eldorado. These cars were designed to showcase the 'forward-thinking' theme. The Eldorado quickly became a highly sought-after vehicle and by 1957 it was offered in both two- and four-door Seville Hardtop and Biarritz Convertible variants. Their designs were heightened with their space-age influences and their extravagant pointed fins in the rear. There were only 1,800 produced and offered at a base price of $7,286.
This vehicle was brought to the 2007 Monterey Sports & Classic Car Auction presented by RM Auctions, where it was estimated to sell for $60,000 - $80,000. The lot was offered without reserve. In its current ownership, the car has resided in California. It is finished in Lake Placid Blue with a red interior. There are a white canvas convertible top and whitewall tires on saber-style wheels. It was ordered from the factory with power brakes, power steering, radio, and power seats. It is powered by a 365 cubic-inch V8 engine with two four-barrel carburetors and an available 325 horsepower. There is a three-speed automatic gearbox and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. At the auction, the lot was sold for $57,200 including the buyer's premium.
The name 'Biarritz' was termed after the Basque resort town which is appropriate for these leisurely top-down cruisers fitted with amenities fit for grand luxury.By Daniel Vaughan | Dec 2007
