This 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz convertible is a largely original example of the top of the line model with original leather interior. One of 1,285 built, this one has what’s believed to be 22,096 miles from new and features its original tri-carb 390CI V8 and Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Factory stampings are evident in a number of places including the frame rails and rockers, and a recent inspection found that mechanical components like the block, crank, pistons, distributor, and rear end have all the proper markings and casting numbers that indicate they are original. Said to run and drive extremely well, the car has never been hit and remains rust-free and very well preserved. The extensive photo gallery showcases the entire car and is not to be missed.

Attractive Carrera Green paint over Dundee Green interior is a striking combination representative of the period that highlights the new-for-1960 Biarritz styling cues. This was a high-point for Cadillac design, with the early 60’s seeing many of the previous decade’s excesses toned down—fewer chrome details and shrinking tailfins were new ideas all clearly visible on this car. These are true boulevard cruisers with a 129.5″ wheelbase and sharp white wall tires. Paint is said to remain largely original with an extremely straight body that has no filler or damage repairs according to the seller. The white convertible top is easy to operate and looks very clean.

The interior is untouched and features an original signal scan AM radio and a working factory A/C unit. All lights, gauges, electrics and switchgear are functional, which is particularly noteworthy as the Biarritz featured a number of power luxury options like power windows and locks, power seats, power top, and Autronic Eye headlight dimmer.

A comfy bench seat wears soft leather with no cracks, plastics and vinyl show no evidence of sun damage and carpets look very clean. Note the tidy trunk, which also remains unrestored.

Motivation comes from the car’s original 390ci, 345 HP, triple carb V8 and 4-speed Hydra-Matic automatic. The proper gold air cleaner covers three factory GM 2-barrel Rochester carburetors. The valve covers have been repainted and have new cork gaskets. Maintenance has been addressed with a new coated gas tank, new brake lines, new ball joints, and a new battery.

Many lift shots show a solid and honest underbody. Recorded mileage of 22k is believed to be original, and while documentation is limited, the seller says the condition and originality speak for themselves. The seller notes that the car rides smoothly and quietly on sorted factory air suspension. Power-assisted drum brakes are effective, and all systems are said to be in good working order.
