An Extraordinary example of a fine restoration done right. Everything fabricated Correct to factory specifications with not a single dollar spared and extra special attention given to every last detail. You would be hard pressed to find a finer example of a Show quality 62 Eldorado anywhere in the world.

In 1962 if you walked into the Cadillac dealer showroom they had many models to offer. If you wanted the very "top of the line" with all modern technologies and comforts you purchased the "Eldorado Biarritz". The very best Cadillac had to offer.  A model that ONLY came in a Convertible. Fully loaded with power options including 6 way power seats. cruise control. windows. locks. convertible top. brakes. antenna. auto dimming headlights. nbsp;auto trunk lid and much more.

This is a complete and total "frame on" restoration. Everything that can break and needs replacing has been replaced on this vehicle with no expense spared.

A list of items repaired. restored or replaced as follows:

New Convertible (Crème) Top. New Radiator. New Heater Core. Refurbished "Wonderbar" Radio. New T-3 Headlights all around. New control valve. New Convertible hydraulic motor and lines. New Genuine Leather interior. Refurbished door panels and Sun visors. New Eldorado only option Parade Boot. nbsp;New Carpeting. New front and Rear bumpers (Show Quality Chrome). New Brakes including Master Cylinder and hose lines. all 4 Wheel Cylinders and Break booster. Rebuilt Speedometer. New Fuel sending unit. New voltage regulator. Rebuilt Generator. 5 Brand New 235X75R15 Whitewall Mastercraft tires. Rebuilt windshield wiper motor. New wiper blades. New Front and Rear Springs. New A/C Delco Shocks all around. New factory correct "Tar-Top" A/C Delco Battery. Refurbished clock. New 6 way power electric seat motor. New Rubber seals for trunk. New door and window weather seals all around. Rebuilt Transmission. Brand New front and rear correct 62 Cadillac floor mats included and the list goes on.

As you can see from the photos this is a Show quality restoration that commands attention wherever it goes. Everything on car works as should. Car starts. drives. stops. shifts all as smoothly as a Cadillac should. There is no visible rust anywhere on this car. All interior and exterior lighting works as well as the turn signaling and horn. Car was painted 5 years ago in basecoat/clearcoat Cadillac color Driftwood Beige and interior is freshly NEW using Genuine Leather interior in a color combination known as Sandalwood. Every chrome and stainless piece has been polished or replaced making this Eldorado gleam in the Florida sun.

There were 160. 40 Cadillac's produced in 1962 with only 1450 of them being an Eldorado Biarritz. There are believed to be less than 100 of these left in existence today and most of them are NOT in this restored condition. Most others are originals or now older restorations that need attention. Paint is near perfect. chrome is show and interior is Brand New leather (perfect). Everything is back "Original" to 1962 with no customization. This Eldorado needs nothing now to be considered show quality and is far beyond road worthy.

Other Eldorado's for sale may be older restorations showing age or original vehicles that now need attention. This Eldorado is tip-top freshly restored all work done in the past 5 years and with proper care will stay in this shape for a very long time.

Anyone interested in this Vehicle needs to understand that with very few things to "Invest" money in nowadays. nbsp;as long as kept in cool dry storage this Eldorado will skyrocket further in value in soon coming years.

This Eldorado Biarritz is a top level model of a Legendary American Luxury Automaker during the Jet Age "Fin-Era". Years 1955-1961 Eldorado's are all worth nearing or over $100K. This 1962 model year is next in line to head in that direction. We are honestly very sad to have to sell.

We would like to see this car go to good home who will take care of it and appreciate it as much as we have.
