On "My Car Story" we're in the Suburbs of Chicago on 10-1-16.
We're looking at a 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Series 64 Convertible in Pompeian Red Paint ( the paint color looks like Burgundy ) and a Pearlescent Ivory stripe. The car has a V8 390 CI engine, and the Eldorado Biarritz has the triple two-barrel carburetors rather than the standard four barrel carburetor.
In 1960 Cadillac produced only 1285 Eldorado Biarritz Convertibles.
The car's Owners is Jim Rudnick. Jim shares he was interested in car as long as he can remember, and started drawing cars at the age of 9 and one of his drawings made a car magazine.
In 1960 at the age of 21, he stopped by a Cadillac Dealership showroom and there spinning on a turn table was a 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible and Jim shares, “it was jaw dropping” and he loved that model car. Jim finally found and purchased his 1960 in 1985.

that car will bring tears to your eyes
Jim sadly passed away last week. He did great work on vintage cars and brought a lot of happiness to those around him
:-(
Very sorry to hear that. Seemed like a wonderful gentleman. I'm sure the good Lord picked him up in a 1960 Cadillac!
Respect
Sorry to hear that. wondering if he still owned this eldorado I’d love to track this car down if possible
Eternal memory and blessed repose
Absolutely GORGEOUS !
High praise :-)
absolutely GORGEOUS car and its great to see a humble passionate working class enthusiast own such a piece!
Agreed, great guy with a great car :-)
That’s true passion. When a guy spends significant money and time to have his dream car. If you have Jay Leno money you can have pretty much any car you want and as many as you want. You can even hire people to find them for you. I’m not saying Jay Leno doesn’t have passion for cars. He clearly does but this guy made hard choices and probably did without other things to have this car. Maybe skipped a few lunches. It probably represents a percentage of his income far beyond the percentage that Jay Leno spent to have his Duesenberg or several other cars.
The American cars of this period were more than just a car, they were a statement and also a work of art.
There are very few cars that came after these that can be in the same class at ANY price.
Hi Derek Stocker, Well said, Lou
And GM missed its mark with the Baby Boomers. They were all in for our parents but when it came to their children they lost us to our luxury makers (BMW, Mercedes, etc) and this is a great mistake of GM in my opinion.
Back when whites put style over money.
Aka
Good ole days😍
I wouldn't say that about most cars then, this was one of the premier cars. But nonetheless, it is still very nice.
Very well said!
What a talented man! Drawing cars published in a magazine at age 10 and kit bashing a model of his '60 from his '59 while he worked in his body shop! I am impressed!! He is more interesting than his car, which is saying something. Thanks for bringing this story to us, Lou!
Hi Gary, Happy to read you enjoy Jim :-) My pleasure sharing his story with you. You're welcome, Lou
This is probably the 3rd or 4th time I watched this. What talent and what a stunning automobile. I'm sure this steals the show where ever it is seen. Thanks Lou.
Hi Rich, Happy to read you're enjoying this one again & again :-) You're welcome, Lou
Wonderful Cadillac. just stunning! I'm sad to read that Jim has passed but happy that Lou memorialized Jim and his car for everyone to enjoy.
Thanks Lou and rest in peace Jim.
Hi Jeff, Happy to read "Wonderful Cadillac. just stunning!" :-) Yes, sad that Jim has passed, and I agree, happy to be able to share this fun moment with him, with you. You're welcome, Lou
It's a shame they just don't make cars like these any more. Majestic, four-wheeled cruiseships that put all other cars to shame.
I like that "majestic, four-wheeled cruiseships"...nice!
Mickehd00d it gives junkyards in japan who have over thousands of old oldtimers from the 40s till the 80s
Which is a shame
Lou Costabile the
Here in the UK we call these big old cars "Land Yachts" They were cars that defined a different, more creative
period in Automotive history. Sadly, cars of today have no style, just computer generated clones.
Its a new age you know. These are not safe you know. Not a good fuel economy yoh know. Only design could live in.
Thanks Lou, I met Jim 25 years ago when he first finished this car with a white top. I'm glad you posted this as I always wondered what happened to it and how it and he were doing. I moved away from the area in 1992 after going to a few car shows with him around the Chicago area. He's a great guy and does beautiful work.
Hi, Glad you enjoyed the video as saw a friend of yours. Lou
What an absolute beauty. Hard to believe this level of luxury and excellence was available to people. Must have been a hell of a time in history.
Hi FireFighterGoggie, Agreed, an beauty :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing a comment. Hope you'll take some time on the Channel and see many other cars you'll enjoy, Lou
Indeed. Did you know that GM had build their cars also in Switzerland??
@@Airsoftfrreak96 :-
Good ole days❤️
It sure was when America was at it's zenith with the cars, clothes, music & culture, drive in restaurants & movie theatres etc!!!
Compared to the the rapidly descending third world craphole it's becoming!!!😡🤬
How can a Country fall so far in just 60 odd yrs?🤔🤨🧐😏😔😪

WOW ! One of the most beautiful Cadillac's ever designed and made. The convertible top "color" really makes the car. As said below: "pure art." The owner is an expert restorer. Kudo's to him.
Hi Mr99Boxer, Glad to receive a "WOW !" from you on this one :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
That's art. Beautiful styling.
High praise :-)
Back when cars where cars
Hi aaron crawley, Glad you enjoyed this one :-) Me too, Lou
*were
Amen to that!
Back when cars didn't all look pretty much the same.
Cars are still cars my dude
I like the way they cleaned up the Cadillac styling for 1960. Great looking car there. I'm sorry to hear of the owner's passing.
Hi Michael, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Jim was a fun guy, Lou
Lou good job but when the owners want to show you a feature try not to ignore or brush them off. I noticed when he was trying to show you the power vent front windows
you ignored him.
That's what stood out to me, too. Thanks for commenting.
Right. Explore every comment about the car the owner makes.
He is interested only in the wiews.....tipicaly youtube
Exactly !; show some respect for anyone decent enough to give you the time of day .

That Jim is a hero! He didn't mind showing off his pride and joy on a rainy day. And it really says something about the car too, as it still looked fantastic under a cloudy sky. Heroes both! :¬)
You're absolutely right, a hero.
I love the passion he has for his big girl!!
Hi buickmonte, You're right :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
may Jim be in paradise for his cars was a work of art ameen

I always considered 59 my favorite year, but that car make me question that, what a beauty.
Good video
Thanks
Glad you like the 1960 too :-) Thank you for the sharing, Lou
I just watched it again, I forgot to subscribe the first time.
Great job filming, except you left one thing out, where's the gas fill, it's got to be in a cool place, I'm guessing behind the round tail lights?
If it's behind the license plate, I'll be disappointed.
I'll have to check on the gas fill location. Thank you for Subscribing, I appreciate that. Lou
I found where they hid the gas cap, it's above the license plate behind a hidden door.
If you stop the video at about 5:30 you can see where the chrome ribs start and stop.
It holds 21 gallons, that ought to get you about 200 miles between fill ups.
Thanks again
Ok, good catch. Thank you for sharing what you found, Lou
Lou, thank you & the owner, for this comprehensive look at such a magnificent machine! I’ve always wanted a big badass American Muscle car and a few weeks ago purchased a 1969 Pontiac GP 455 (Right Hand Drive) here in Western Australia and I love “MYWILD 1”👍🏻
Hi iSpike - FILMMAKER BIKER LIVE, You're welcome. Happy to read you picked up a Grand Prix :-) Sounds FUN! Lou
I fell in love with tail fins growing up in Soviet Union watching crappy black and white clips of USA. When I came here, the used cars were abundant and often unsafe but dream come true. American cars from 50's and 60's are truly epic. Love affair. The 60 Cadillac is a goddess. Lou: You sure love a variety, and that speaks volumes about you. THANK YOU!

Hi fortylove68, High praise :-) Amen. Lou
Aportando con el comentario numero 1000 a este excelente video de hace ya 5 años atrás... ¡Vaya, como pasa el tiempo! Tengo algunas palabras para describir a este fantástico vehículo, pero creo que la mejor forma de hacerlo es con la misma publicidad que nos mostraste en el minuto 3:30, y que decía algo como: “¡Para 1960 Cadillac trae una nueva era de elegancia!". ¡No puedo estar más que de acuerdo con ésta misma al ver este impresionante Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz! ¡Ah, y me encantó ese detallado modelo a escala, inclusive del mismo color, que tenía su dueño en ese aparador! ¡Saludos cordiales!
Hi Jaime, High praise for this car :-) Glad to read you enjoy the scale model too. Lou
My FAVORITE car show car!!!!!! I've seen this beauty a number of times at cruise-ins in the Chicago area. Got the pix to prove it. Wish I could afford to make him an offer on it!!!
We have a Winner :-) Glad you enjoy this one (you have great taste), Lou
That car is "Awesome" as you Americans would say. I always see these cars as "Automotive Art" To me, they are
real "Eye Candy" Thanks for posting.
Hi Gary Dunn, You have great taste on cars :-) You're welcome, and I hope you see more "Automotive Eye Candy" on this TH-cam Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
I am from the UK where such cars were seen as "For the Rich" because they were so expensive to run.
10 mpg?
I am very partial to the brand, Cadillac! I actually have owned eight immaculate models from 1967-2006! I really love the car in this video! Another great, I mean GREAT video! Thanks Lou!
Hi JON, Happy to read you enjoy the Cadillacs you've had :-) High praise on this video, and I appreciate it. You're welcome, Lou
An amazing review, talented man, and absolutely beautiful classic! Thank you for another amazing experience in automotive history!
Hi Alex, Happy to read you enjoy this review :-) My pleasure sharing this car with you, and you're welcome, Lou
Absolutely stunning..atrue work of art ! Picasso couldn't have done it better !
Hi Julio, High praise :-) Lou
It’s hard to believe that some cars coming out of Detroit were this beautiful. And that was the time when manufacturing was not as refined as today. The body panel stampings alone must have been tuff. Great job.
Hi Mark, High praise :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
what a spectacular car!... true plush, luxury!.... my father wouldve loved this car!.. he really appreciated the old caddys when he was alive... first one i can recall was a white 54 ( i think!) i was fascinated the gas tank fill under the tail light.

Gee, awesome Cadillac Eldorado ! I am thinking to buy one.
Glad you like this one. Thank you for commenting, Lou
Marilyn used a white, '60 Cadillac, six-window sedan. Not sure who owned it? Her character had a damaged '59 Cadillac convertible, in "The Misfits " She also owned a black, '52 Series 62 Cadillac convertible that Jack Benny gave her, in lieu of a radio show payment.
Love seeing these older Cadillac's I saw on the streets of Chicago as a kid! But what love the most is hearing an Chicago accent again! RIP Jim Sinn Fein Byrne
Hi Michael, Happy to read you "Love seeing these older Cadillacs" :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
LOU: WHAT ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL CAR, I LOVE IT. GREAT PAINT COLOR.
Hi Robert, High praise for this car :-) Lou
Wow! Stunning! A rare beauty!
Hi John, Well said :-) Thank you for your comment, Lou
Hey Lou, Jim's Face at 10:57 says it all! What a ride. Caddy was once the Standard of the WORLD. Hard to believe.
If you had a Caddy up until about 1981, you showed you were doing well for yourself. Then it seemed that the quality shifted to Mercedes Benz.
gene978
Lou Costabile, even Mercedes-Benz mid range priced cars lack artistic design. I think car manufacturers of today emphasize safety, horse power and technology more than anything else. This Cadillac looks better than any Sedan Cadillac currently has on the market
every time I tot I found my favorite, smtn else comes up and mess up my whole list. This is 1 badass maroon cadi
just lovely
Leave room on the list, I just added a few cars you may enjoy, Thank you for commenting, Lou
Man...that is slick. I have a soft spot for these old Caddy’s.

When I'm able to video at the Care Takers location, and sometimes at a car show too, they will bring the brochures, and I'll put them in the truck and call it "trunk & treats" :-) Hope you see many more "treats" you'll enjoy, and check this one out, as this might be the most "treats" collected EVER! :-) Lou th-cam.com/video/Bbv2FlMc7eU/w-d-xo.html
This isn’t a car, it’s a spaceship
Nice !
And GM wonders why they can't sell cars today.
Style & Quality...who would have thought?
I liked the talk with Jim Rudnick at the end. He tells what it's like to have a car like this and what it's like to go to shows. I would not know!
Hi Jed Clampett, Glad to read the parts of the video you enjoy, Lou

Gorgeous color combination on a 1960 Biarritz, the cloth top looks like velvet. The Seville would be equally gorgeous in this color combination.
Hi Steve, Happy to read you appreciate the looks of this car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing. Lou
I remember a lot of men in my family back then, had two sizes of engine belts........one for winter and one for summer.
The winter belt was smaller, just for engine use. The summer belt was larger for use with running the AC unit, so you didn't overtax the AC compressor, as they were expensive to repair. This is why you don't see the belt running over the AC compressor.

Hi Yuddys American Cars, Glad to read you think this Care Taker & his car are "great" :-) Happy to read you're enjoying the videos with me, and you're welcome, Lou
Thank you Lou Constable & the crew that put this presentation together. Jim created an astounding work of art that can only be created out of love, compassion, and skills of his craft. 1960 is special to my wife and me. That's the year we were married. I went to school with her since 5th. grade. Married 59 years this June 4th. Wouldn't change anything in our lives except for business associates. They were three lawyers an undertaker and older brother. Literally stole 2million from my Corporation. Destroyed me emotionally. What I do have is my wife two wonderful sons Jesus Christ and memories that no one can steal. Amen. Thanks again guys for a wonderful story of dedication and perseverance. God Bless

I love these cars, My dad owned a Cadillac dealership in ca. from 1956 to 1970. I got a 60 Eldorado biarritz used, for my birthday in 1970. it was dark arroyo tourquoise , white top, black leather, all options that were available. I know these cars inside and out. Your car is absolutely beautiful. I would be scared to take it out on the street ! Thanks for the video-
That is a GOOD Birthday Gift!
Great Eldorado Jim!

I was born in 60.... love the cadillac convertible. beautiful for sure... dont make works of art anymore. Wish I owned it..... wouldnt fit in most garages these days either... Rode in a few in the day.... like riding on air and sitting on a couch....Had a friend that had one and drove kinda crazy and she blared the horn coming down the street in the convertible so you knew she was coming.........

Mighty fine ride! Wish I live in 50s, 60s & 70s. There were real cars back in those years.

Had a 1960 Cadillac hearse. Body by Miller Meteor plate on the door step. Front end same as this car, beautiful. Wonder Bar radio, leather bench seats, AC. First car I could find for under $200 in 1978 Kansas. Guy I bought it off in Missouri used it to trailer racing cars. Big hit with the girls in Leavenworth, they wanted to go "camping" as they called it. Thing had a hydraulic lift to move coffins back and forth, curtains, four huge doors. Filled it up, it went 100 miles and it ran out of gas used a quart of oil. Traded it even for a 68, 2 door, 4 speed, V8, Fairlane that needed a timing chain.
Hi Khadr Trudeau

i noticed the profile of the owner's nose matches precisely the profile of the back fins......it was love at first sight i'm sure

Getting those long side chrome or stainless pieces to fit the body panels was a classy piece of design, manufacturing and fitting!

@@loucostabile,
I'm in there buddy! I've enjoyed your channel for some time! I think it's very important for young people to get even just a glancing appreciation for the fact that American cars used to be a radically new design every year or so! For this service alone your channel is invaluable for these newer generations! You pull from diverse areas also which is entertaining and informative. 😊
You know, before the internet, the book emporium was about the only way to see most of what you're showing! It seemed to begin fading away as soon as it was produced, but now , wow huh!? We had Hemmings when we were young but most kids didn't. Dad would give them to me and I would pass them on to my friends after reading them from cover to cover. Lol
Dad had so many of Floyd Clymer's publications too..
i met Jim many years ago. he is a very nice man, and he does excellent work!
