1963 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible
Every year, just before the Super Bowl, Barrett-Jackson puts on one of the biggest auto auctions in the country. It has been several years since I have attended, primarily due to the threat posed by the COVID pandemic. There were a dozen or more huge tents to protect the majority of the vehicles to be auctioned off. Unfortunately, it was cloudy which made photography a challenge (because of low light levels) and it was quite chilly which challenged me to be selective in the choice of cars to photograph. Next up is another Cadillac land yacht — this one is a 1963 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz convertible powered by a 390ci V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission. It is equipped with power steering, power brakes, factory air conditioning, and tilt steering, as well as a leather interior, power windows, power door locks, and a power seat. The exterior features a power convertible top and fender skirts, and it has full wheel covers, whitewall tires as well as those famous Cadillac fins. I have to confess that I did not care for those fins in 1963 and they have not aged well with me. The auction price was $71,500.
