For those of us who can't afford $200-$300K+ for this car, please buy the 1960 sales brochure. I just got it the other day and it's just so GLAMOROUS!! The side photos are amazing shots of the idle rich of the time!
This is ridiculous! I can't stop looking at this car/video!! I really love this Cadillac! Whose ever driving this car is the luckiest person in the world having a Caddy as this! ♡♡♡
1960 Cadillac Biarritz Convertible! One of my favorite Cadillacs! Not to crazy about those bucket seats! Reminds me of a 1960 Cadillac Biarritz Convertible I let get away! I still kick myself! Not to many years ago I spoke with a man in MN who had a 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible! Triple Black! He told me it’s been in storage for about 25 years or so. Waiting for a restoration! Said he had too many projects going on and needed to downsize! So I asked him to send me some pics of the undercarriage, trunk, engine area etc. My thinking was that it’s a rust bucket! However for the most part the car looked solid! He said the Cadillac spent most of it’s life in southern CA! Original floor pans, a little rust around the convertible top area but no major rust! Only surface rust! I was surprised! The undercarriage was in great shape! You could still see the original black undercoat from the factory in some areas. The chrome was a little beat up and rusted. That’s to be expected. It would need to be repaired and re-chromed. Overall the Cadillac needed a total ground up restoration to bring it back to its original glory! At this point I didn’t even care to ask how many miles are on the odometer! He was asking $30K. I’m sure I could have talked him down to $25K. For the most part that’s still not a bad price! Then I did some quick math in my head. At least $20K to re-do all the chrome. At least $15K to $20K to rebuild the original engine, transmission, suspension and upgrades. The interior needed to be cleaned and maybe redo the foam padding under the leather seats. The leather seats looked worn but no cracks or holes! What a surprise! The dashboard was in excellent condition! No cracks! The convertible top was tattered and baked well done in the California sun! It would need to be replaced. It’s a Cadillac so a repaint is a must do! Black Cadillacs are hard to paint! One mistake and the entire car suffers! New tires, brakes, upgrades etc. are a must do! In my head I’m saying to myself, I’d have to spend in excess of $95K to make this Cadillac road worthy! I then asked myself, would it be worth it? Recently I saw one that sold for $170K! I wish I would have bought that Cadillac and had it restored! However I never buy a car to restore and sell! I buy because I love Cadillacs! Especially a convertible!
Wow, this Cadillac ElDorado convertible is absolutely gorgeous!!! I love the red top & interior including the bucket seats. Everything on this car is like brand new & it's 61 years old. Thanks for showcasing this fantastic automobile, your video with the accompanying music is great!! 👍👍🙂
Oh yes! It has been restored by the owner him self & his friend Torbjørn in Norway. Everything is spot on! Love it! Thanks for watching as always Christopher👍🏻👍🏻😊
OH MY GOSH ! IM IN LOVE ! I distinctly remember this car my Mother had. I was always fascinated by the bullet eye on the top front dash & ofcourse the fins! Look at the detail work on this beauty- I'm in love- I got to ride in almost all the 60's+70's Cadillac's! Learned to drive on a sexy red Eldorado convertible in the early 70's! I was super duper blessed back then & remain the same! THANK YOU JESUS! ♡♡♡
That was spectacular. I hadn't seen one with factory bucket seats. 1960 is one of my favorite years of Cadillac. When I was in high school (class of '68) our family car was a '60 Fleetwood Seventy-Five Limousine. Yes, I liked it. Even going to the beach.
@@youngexotics2155 Thanks. Very rare indeed. I don't recall ever seeing them on a Cadillac like this one. The color of the top draws you in like a magnet.
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.:-((

Back when autos had STUFF to say! That gorgeous red lipstick soft top. Lovely Pearl white accentuated with sumptuous chrome. OyyyyyyveYYYY!
That car is a little slice of Heaven on earth!
Love ❤️ that red convertible top! Outstanding!
This ElDorado,a real gem.

Great story, and yes these Eldorados do skyrocket up in price. You should have kept it. Thank you so much for watching!

Wow! Those 75’s are pretty rare aswell!
Snyggt filmat Björn. Hälsa Mikael. Snygg Biarritz. Den gör sig flott i vitt.
Tusen takk! Det skal jeg😎👍🏻
Nothing compares to this!
Fantastisk video. Interiøret er oppsydd av Jarl Høghaug i Egersund i 2003.
A red top was standard! That's forward looking! I am a big fan of matching interior/top combinations. This one's prime.
Gorgeous! 👏😌
Really nice car. Would be great to cruise in.
..and is that a single four-barrel carb?
Holy crap!… This car is freaking gorgeous… I think I would trade in my kids for this rig!….Just kidding, boys!… But what a chariot!… Beautiful
Look.
Bucket seats are factory? !
The most beautiful car ever built.
viciouspoodle how do we get the brochure??
How much?? This Eldo whispered to me that it would like a new owner soon! 😊
What a cruising vessel. Are the bucket seats a factory option?
Yes they are. Very rare option. Thanks for watching😊👍🏻

Nok en flott film av en flott bil Bjørn
Takker så mye som alltid Ivar!
Great car with cruise control too. Too bad they did order AC on this top of the line luxury car

Always thought there could be a grain of truth in "Mad Max."
I think you'll find they'll be Total Anarchy across Europe in the not too distant future as the EU is falling apart now!!!
