About The Cadlllac Eldorado Biarritz:,
The Cadillac Eldorado gained additional success in their second-generation design, mainly due the lowering the overall cost for buyers. This was due to utilizing the same, standard body panels as other models, and identifying the Eldorado with specific body trim, gold emblems, and aluminum panels. Since the Eldorado's inception, it was only available in convertible form, so by 1956, a new hardtop version called the Eldorado Seville was added to the model lineup. This renamed the convertible models the Eldorado Biarritz. Both styles were quite rare, with 4,900 Sevilles and 2,150 Biarritz produced in 1956! These accounted for just 4% of Cadillac sales!
