For the first time since 1976, the 1984 Cadillac Eldorado returned as a droptop. MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present this ’84 Eldorado Biarritz Convertible, one of only 3,300 made in 1984. Eldorado Biarritzes only came in three exterior colors, Cotillion White, Hatteras Blue and Autumn Maple Firemist.

This example was made during the second week of May in 1984 at General Motors’ Linden, New Jersey factory (VIN code E). Taking the finished cars from Linden, the American Sunroof Company, now called American Specialty Cars (ASC), in Lansing, Michigan, converted the coupes into convertibles before shipping modified units to dealers. ASC’s work included reinforcing inner rockers, radiator support cross-rods, and many body braces. Front and rear anti-roll bars and tougher suspension components were added, along with the vinyl convertible top. The convertible weighed 179 pounds more than the coupe from which it evolved.

The Autumn Maple Firemist Metallic paint and trim (code 74), are in overall very good order. The car’s bodywork is straight and solid, its engine bay is very tidy, the battery appears in good order and the car’s chrome bumpers are in very good order but the body-color Endura filler between the body and the bumpers needs to be replaced. A common problem of this era, trunk can be opened by button in glove box, has no trunk/door key.

This Eldo rolls on whitewall radials, size 225/70R15 at all four corners. Each tire is mounted to a steel wheel, topped with locking wire wheel covers. The tires and wheels are all in satisfactory condition.

Under the hood is Cadillac’s 4.1L HT-4100 V-8 engine (VIN code 8). The 4.1L V-8 engine was an in-house design that mated cast-iron heads to an aluminum block. The motor is bolted to a Turbo Hydramatic 325-4L four-speed automatic transmission with a 3.15:1 final drive. Fuel gauge is inop. Driver convenience features include – digital electronic climate control, electronic cruise control, power steering, power four-wheel disc brakes, power locks, power windows, power front seats, power mirrors, power antenna and electronic level control.

The car’s Carmine, tufted, pillow-style leather split front bench with fold-down center armrest and rear bench are in overall very good order, as is the matching carpeting. The original, two-spoke steering wheel has a leather-wrapped rim and is in decent shape. The Dark Carmine instrument panel features simulated burled walnut and digital gauges, except for the odometer and is in very good order. There’s also a trip computer. The inner door panels are also slathered in simulated burled walnut and generally echo the rest of the interior’s theme. Completing the interior is a factory Delco-Bose AM/FM stereo with cassette and five-band graphic equalizer.

In 1984, Cadillac introduced a convertible version of Eldorado Biarritz. The convertible had rear side windows raised and lowered automatically with the power top and it contained a glass back window. Convertibles had the following features:
