The 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible is an example of the 50’s tail-finned land cruiser. The ’58 Eldorado Biarrtiz models had conveniences such as the fiberglass “parade†top cover, E-Z Eye, automatic headlight dimmer, and air conditioning.

The car is mainly seen now as a show car or as a stunning weekend driver, as it will draw stares when cruising down the road, as long as you don’t expect it to deliver acceptable gas mileage.
