1960 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible

This rare and striking 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible, manufactured in the heart of the American automotive Renaissance, bears an air of sophistication and power typical of its era. Its distinctive, elegant lines showcase Cadillac's signature style from this decade, with a length that stretches over 21 feet, a width of nearly six and a half feet, all resting on a wheelbase spanning just shy of 130 inches. The Biarritz model was the pinnacle of Cadillac's Eldorado range in its day, and this specimen is no exception. Its convertible body style adds a dash of elegance and exclusivity, with only around 650 examples produced for the 1960 model year. The vehicle hails from Shorewood, Minnesota, where it was reportedly refurbished under prior ownership before being acquired by its current caretaker in 2011. Under current ownership, significant work has been undertaken to maintain and preserve this classic American droptop. Components such as the radio, antenna, instrument cluster, interior switches, and carburetors have all been rebuilt or renewed, while the dashboard has been refinished. The power steering system was also serviced, ensuring the Biarritz remains as responsive on the road as it is graceful at a standstill. At just over six decades old, this vintage Cadillac retains much of its original charm and presence, boasting an impressive length of nearly three-quarters of a yard and a width over half that again. Its distinctive fins at the rear hark back to an era when cars were not merely conveyances but statements of power and panache. Currently offered with no reserve, this timeless beauty represents an opportunity for collectors or enthusiasts eager to acquire a piece of American automotive history that is both iconic and exclusive. As of now, bidding stands at $92,000 on its current platform. With a presence as commanding today as it was 63 years ago when it first rolled off the assembly line, this Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible remains an outstanding example of American automotive craftsmanship and sophistication from one of history's most exciting periods in design innovation.
