By the late 1950s, Cadillac reigned supreme over the full-sized luxury car market in North America with exciting products that featured advanced engineering and the leading-edge styling of Harley Earl.

In 1959, standard Eldorado features included all the items available on the Series 62 DeVille line and beyond, including a heater, fog lamps, air suspension, a radio with a rear-mounted speaker, power windows, six-way power seat, electric door locks and whitewall tires. In fact, only four options were available: air conditioning, cruise control, the Autronic Eye automatic headlight dimmer, and E-Z Eye glass, along with a no-cost bucket seat option for the Biarritz. The pinnacle of the Cadillac line in 1959, the Eldorado Biarritz Convertible carried a base price of $7,401, which deterred all but 1,320 wealthy buyers.

Finished in Ebony, this example is nicely complemented with a white interior, matching power-operated convertible top, silver carpets, and an original body-color fiberglass parade boot. Featuring all the standard Eldorado Biarritz equipment, this example is also complete with the optional E-Z Eye glass and air conditioning. Restored approximately seven years ago it has been properly cared for and maintained and remains in excellent condition.
