This is a very rare, alpine white 1958 Cadillac El Dorado Biarritz convertible. Only 815 of these were produced in 1958 and this happens to be one of them! This was the pinnacle of automotive design at the time with those exquisite Harley Earl fins, wraparound windshield and long and low riding design that were and still are beautiful to look at and drive today. Extensive work went into this restoration including the correct alpine white paint job, restoration of almost all of the chrome and much more. The shoreline beige soft top was recently redone to protect you and your passengers from the weather. The top down look is finished off with a freshly painted parade boot. You'll enjoy cruising down the road on the polished aluminum saber wheels and wide white tires. You will enjoy the easy ride with the power steering, smooth automatic transmission and 365/335 HP, three deuces engine.

History - Cadillac Eldoradohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_Eldorado
The Cadillac Eldorado is a personal luxury car that was manufactured and marketed by Cadillac from 1953 to 2002 over ten generations. Competitors and similar vehicles included the Lincoln Mark series, Buick Riviera, Oldsmobile Toronado and Chrysler's Imperial Coupe.
The Eldorado was at or near the top of the Cadillac line during early model years. The original 1953 Eldorado convertible and the Eldorado Brougham models of 19571960 were the most expensive models that Cadillac offered those years, and the Eldorado was never less than second in price after the Cadillac Series 75 until 1966. Eldorados carried the Fleetwood designation from 1965 through 1972.
Third generation (1957-1960)
For 1958, GM was promoting their fiftieth year of production, and introduced Anniversary models for each brand; Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Chevrolet.[19] The 1958 models shared a common appearance on the top models for each brand; Cadillac Eldorado Seville, Buick Roadmaster Riviera, Oldsmobile Holiday 88, Pontiac Bonneville Catalina, and the all-new Chevrolet Bel-Air Impala.
On 1958 2-door Eldorados, a V-shaped ornament and model identification script were mounted to the deck lid. Two-door Eldorados also had ten vertical chevron slashes ahead of the open rear wheel housings and crest medallions on the flank of the tailfins. Broad, sculptured beauty panels decorated the lower rear quarters on all Series 62 Eldorados and extended around the wheel opening to stretch along the body sills. All-new was a special-order Series 62 Eldorado Seville, of which only one was actually built.
The major changes to the Eldorado Brougham in 1958 were seen inside the car. The interior upper door panels were finished in leather instead of the metal finish used in 1957. New wheel covers also appeared. Forty-four trim combinations were available, along with 15 special monotone paint colors. A total of 304 Eldorado Broughams were sold in 1958. 1958 was the last year for the domestic production of the handbuilt Brougham at Cadillac's Detroit factory, as future manufacturing of the special bodies was transferred to Pininfarina of Turin, Italy.
