Here is a later model classic Cadillac Biarritz that has front-wheel drive and a flair all its own, plus it is a two owner California car. And what a superb automobile it is. It is a car of unmistakable luxury and impressive power and roadworthiness. This example runs with a 425-cid V-8 engine and automatic transmission. Having had an extensive mechanical restoration that was completed within the last nine months; it is finished in Arizona Beige, Demitasse Brown two-tone exterior with a Arizona Beige landau roof and a tan and brown pillow-style tufted leather interior with power split front seats. The Eldorado is well-accessorized with air conditioning, opera lights, AM/FM radio, color-keyed factory hubcaps, whitewall tires; power windows, door locks, antenna, steering and four-wheel disc brakes. The car also has an automatic trunk pull-down along with many other nice touches of elegance. The owner conveys that it has all options available for this model in 1978, except for the sunroof or “Astroroof” option. Only 2,000 examples of this car were produced in the 1978 model year; 1,499 of them were built without the roof options, such as this car. This special edition was designed and built for the discriminating luxury car buyer; for 1979, the Eldorado would undergo a substantial redesign and downsizing.
