I like that era of cars...all of them with the fins. My father had a 1960 2 door Chev Biscayne which I wish I kept and restored. I've owned a lot of cars over the decades from Cadillac (2), Porsche(2), Ferrari(11), Saab(1), Alfa Romeo(2), Maserati, Corvettes, SVT products, all types of Fords, GM's, Chevs including new '07 Z06, Dodges, Rolls Royce and a lot of other makes not listed here. If I had to do it over again, I would have gone in the car business just because I've enjoyed vehicles since the time my father put me on his lap at the age of 4 to steer the '60 Chev Biscayne. Beautiful Eldorado I used to own a 1979 Eldorado Biarritz that was light blue. I don't remember if it was the aqua firemist or blue firemist. You have amazing cars. ps. I just ran across your channel a few days ago and am hooked. Have a great day!
@@christianbugatticg Yes, I've had a little bit of everything from many automakers. I drove every single one of my cars...even my rare 2001 Ferrari 550 Barchetta 357/448 I've enjoyed them all, made some good money when I sold some of my cars, but that wasn't the reason I bought them. I no longer own any of them but I wouldn't trade the experience & memories for any amount of money. Keep up the great work!
My heart just dropped to my stomach when I realized that the doors are locked and this beautiful work of art is running!! Seems like it did a Christine on you!! Sure hope you were able to unlock it without doing any damage. I am so in love with this Eldorado! If I was a wealthy man, I would be very proud to become its next caretaker!!
Whomever chose that ABSOLUTELY STUNNING COLOR has IMPECCABLE TASTE! I'm a Photographer and Interior Designer and getting lavender JUST right is not easy at all. Again, a breathtaking color on a gorgeous car.
A car designed for travel in outerspace, but you will have to keep the top up! Great colour and those fins realy let you know which era it came from. Fireball XL5 on wheels.
'59s had the Rocket Ship tail lamps, which they changed for 1960 and just used the tail lamp inserts to the fins. Really dramatically alters the entire rear end design of the car. Not in a bad way I'm just saying the '59s and '60s look very different in the back.
As much as Elvis loved his Cadillacs, oddly enough when he was discharged from the army in 1960, his first car purchase was a white 1960 Continental Mark V convertible with red interior! He never owned a 1959 model Cadillac due to still being in Germany on active duty. He did own a 1960 Cadillac Limo that RCA bought for him and had customized as a gift, and which is on display at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville. He reportedly never liked that limo and rarely used it.
You know I am not exactly sure because it was done prior to me and not all at the same time. These are very expensive to restore. @@ВатнаяфабрикаимениКрасныхпарти
@@davidkastin4240 I lost 80% of my retirement in Ft xcrypto last year if I still had my money I would be calling him to buy that car that color is absolutely incredible and so is the condition
Compcarsmb.com However, I only market my Classics on this TH-cam channel and sell them on Bring a Trailer. So you won't see anything on my regular site other than some late model stuff. Sorry!!!
The car is a work of art. But the color and interior do not seem to be as originally installed at the factory. The fact the car has factory buckets is a plus. It looks great and it will sell immediately.
@@christianbugatticg Yes, I can be wrong, perhaps there is a Cadillac expert that can verify either way. But to me, it does not look like original from factory combo outside color and interior. It looks like the seats are leather. Is that correct?
Poor old girl probably didn’t have gaps between the door window and roof until you got it and started slamming the doors smh 🤦🏻♂️ the only problem I have with classic dealers, is not all of the employees have a true passion for these cars and do little things like that that drive me crazy. That’s what causes rattling to occur and well, gaps between the windows and roof from the air pressure it causes. Look how much that roof moves when he slams them.
Are you kidding? The "gaps" in those windows are probably 100x better now even if he slammed the door a hundred times than they were before the car was restored. Trust me, in 1960, the assembly precision of these cars was not what you can get with the proper parts adjusted and fitted properly in a proper laser aligned rotisserie restoration. In a 1960 assembly line, even for Cadillac, they were just happy the door closed without sagging.
@@joe6096 To each their own, there’s a reason why there aren’t many left out there and it’s from lack of care. Don’t get me wrong I take care of my cars but they aren’t garage queens. I drive and enjoy them quite a bit, take them out to car shows and what not but, you only get one warning after you slam my doors the first time, after that, your ride along privileges have been revoked lol. I never said anything about the “assembly precision” I have a few mopars as well as other classics and they only go out on nice days because if not the trunk will rot out as most did because those trunk seals weren’t the best even when new in the 60’s and 70’s so I’m aware of how they were built, even in the 50’s, but it’s irrelevant. old doors are heavy enough that they’ll close with ease, don’t have to slam em but that’s my opinion after all.
@@dman19581969 Way to completely miss the point. Heavy or not heavy, it doesn't matter - the precision of which these cars were built to in the 1950s and 60s is nowhere near what you can get with modern restoration processes. I don't care if you slam or don't slam the door - this car has better fit and finish today than it did when it rolled off the assembly line. That's the point.
@@joe6096 I didn’t miss your point, that’s why I said “to each their own” I feel today’s materials are cheep and built to be replaced within 5 to 10 years!! I’ve seen original 1959/1960 Cadillac’s with their original tops and they seal beautifully!! One thing about Lincoln and Cadillac back in these days, convertible or not, they knew how to seal a car very nicely!! If you really consider the top on this car to be precise, and don’t view it as a Chinese knock off with horrible gaps, then please give me what you’re smoking, it must be amazing!!
You are so spot on. I notice this same lack of care every time I watch these types of videos. He is treating that car like a ford tempo. I would close that door with ease and tender care for that sweet ole’ girl. I’m glad to see I’m not alone in my view of these salesman.
That's not a car that's a Automobile. Seat 6 comfortable. Room for luggage. Easy to work on. Maybe difficult to park in the 🌍🌎🌏. Only a 🤬 would run into the back of it.
It is one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen! A true work of art!
OMG, they had such style back then!
Lowered the top incorrectly. Look it up in the GM body service manual.
I've always seen the 1960 and 1963 Cadillacs to be THE most stunning cars contemporary Cadillac built.
I must agree!!
I was too young for the 1960.
Mama had a soft metallic green 1963 and
I had a Navy Blue 1973 ElDorado convertible.@@christianbugatticg
Wow! Back in the days cars were literally driving artworks.. no compromises. The amount of detail is insane! Top notch! 🙏🏼
Couldn't agree more!
The 1960 cadillac is one of my favorite cars around.
Long, low and sexy!!!!

Right?? lol
Rocky Graziano's car? The 1959 was so excessive; the 1960 was pure class.
According to the previous owner, correct. He bought it a a classic car auction in Atlantic City back in the 80's
I've always held the 1960 and 1963 were the prettiest Cadillacs.
I have to agree with you on that!!
What a beauty!!!
