Description
Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz 1977 – Custom Edition – 26, 014 Genuine Miles
The pinnacle of American luxury: a catalog-listed, “Survivor” unit.
Presenting an exceptional 1977 example, the final great year for the full‑frame Cadillac before the late‑’70s redesign. This unit stands out not only for its incredibly low mileage (26, 014 miles) but also as an authentic Biarritz, fitted with options that place it at the zenith of General Motors’ range of the era.
1. Exterior Equipment and Biarritz Finish
Unlike standard models, this vehicle features the most exclusive luxury package of 1977:
* Stainless Steel Trim: wide, brushed mouldings running along the bonnet and extending along the roofline—a bold, exclusive detail of the Biarritz.
* Cabriolet-style Vinyl Roof: Landau padded option at the rear, in immaculate condition, with no bubbles or cracks.
* Opera Lamps: Vertical lamps on the rear pillars that light with the parking lights, delivering an unmistakable nocturnal aesthetic.
* Saffron Paint (Pastel Yellow): A period colour extremely rare and elegant, highlighting the original chrome, which retains its factory mirror finish.
2. Exclusive Interior: The Medici Tapestry Upholstery
The vehicle’s standout feature is its cabin, preserved as a time capsule:
* Medici Finish: Equipped with the prestigious Medici Tapestry Cloth in a “Pillow-style” design. In 1977 this material was a higher‑cost option than standard leather, offering unparalleled thermal comfort and visual opulence.
* Sofa‑style Seats: Front seats with multi‑way electric adjustment, maintaining the plush feel and button depth of the originals.
* Wood and Chrome Details: The dashboard and door panels show no sun cracks or fading, something extremely unusual for cars of this age.
3. Technology and Driving Assists (Full Extras)
This unit comes with the most advanced Cadillac technology of its year:
* Twilight Sentinel: Automatic headlamp on/ off with light sensor.
* Climate Control: Auto climate control maintaining the selected temperature consistently.
* Cruise Control: Ideal for enjoying the smooth V8 engine on open roads.
* Power Windows and Central Locking: Fully functional, along with the electric antenna.
* Original Sound System: Retains the factory radio, preserving the dashboard’s integrity without modern trims.
4. Mechanical Status and Documentation
* V8 7. 0L (425 cu in): The 1977 “Big Block” engine, renowned for smooth torque delivery and high reliability.
* Certified Provenance: Includes the original Dreisbach & Sons (Detroit) dealership emblem, guaranteeing its lineage.
* Spanish Documentation: The vehicle already has Spanish registration and current ITV, saving significant time and money versus non‑homologated imported units.
Summary for the collector: If you seek an Eldorado that does not require restoration, with certified mileage and the most luxurious array of era‑specific extras, this is the ultimate unit.
