1957 CADILLAC ELDORADO BIARRITZ CONVERTIBLE- #489 OF 1800 PRODUCED. 3 OWNER CALIFORNIA BLACK PLATE CAR WITH 96,000 ORIGINAL MILES. I HAVE OWNED MANY OF THESE CARS OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS AND THIS IS A MOSTLY ORIGINAL RUST FREE CAR .THE FIRST OWNER WAS THE FAMOUS DANCE INSTUCTOR -ARTHUR MURRAY. THE CAR WAS SOLD NEW IN CALIFORNIA. THE SECOND OWNER BOUGHT IT IN 1961 AND SOLD IT IN 1977 TO THE 3RD OWNER . THE ORIGINAL MATCHING NUMBER MOTOR WAS REBUILT IN 1983 BUT NOT FIRED UNTIL 2016 WHEN I GOT IT RUNNING.HE MOVED NEAR CADILLAC MICHIGAN IN 1994 AND I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM HIS SON LAST SUMMER. THIS BIARRITZ HAS SOME OF ITS ORIGINAL FACTORY PAINT-COPPER METALLIC. THE INTERIOR IS ORIGINAL COPPER LEATHER WITH THE FRONT SEAT REDONE IN VINYL IN 1977.THE CAR HAS THE RARE OPTION OF FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING. WHILE THIS CAR HAS A SINGLE CARB, WHICH WAS SOMETIMES REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP, I DO HAVE A DUAL QUAD CARB SETUP, BUT IT NEEDS SOME WORK. I ALSO HAVE THE BARREL CLOCK., AND CALIFORNIA TITLEAND OWNERS MANUAL. THE CAR RUNS FROM THE GAS TANK AND MOVES. IT NEEDS BRAKE WORK AND SOME TRANS WORK. THE PASSENGER WINDOW STOPPED WORKING RECENTLY. THE FLOORS ARE RUST FREE ORIGINAL . THE BODY HAS HAD SOME PAINT WORK. IT ALSO HAS ITS ORIGINAL FIBERGLASS PARADE BOOT.. THE WINDSHIELD IS GOOD AND THE FRONT CHROME IS NICE. .GREAT CAR TO FINISH AS A DRIVER AND USE AS IS. OR TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL . THE COPPER COLOR IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES.
