278564_Front_3-4This 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz convertible is #44 of 815 produced in 1958 and is powered by its original 365/325hp V8 engine topped with three Rochester carbs and paired with a 4-speed Hydramatic automatic transmission. Stopping is provided by a hydraulic braking system with power assist. It features a gold-painted air cleaner, dual headlamps, wrap-around bumpers, power black soft-top, power windows, 6-way power seat adjustment, trunk lid with a remote trunk release, Autronic-Eye for automatic high-beam operation, a fold-down armrest and a parade boot that finishes off the top-down look.

It is finished in its correct Rajah Silver exterior over a Silver Cape Buffalo Metallic leather interior, and rides on wide whitewalls mounted on aluminum Sabre wheels with Eldorado center hubcaps. This matching-numbers example went from the factory in Detroit directly to Windsor, Ontario, where it spent its entire life between two owners (the same owner of the original “raindrop” car and the current owner of more than 50 years). Having spent 30 years in storage, this convertible received a thorough cosmetic and mechanical restoration in the 2000s.

Selling with No Reserve at the 2024 Scottsdale Fall Auction, October 10-13, at WestWorld.
