We purchased this time-capsule of an Eldorado Biarritz Custom Classic from a gentleman just outside Detroit; his father-in-law George had bought the car new in 1978 and immediately put it away in storage. Cadillac had just announced the ‘78 Eldorado Biarritz Custom Classic as the swansong of the big Eldos, and George hedged his bets on it soon becoming a collector’s item. He went to the local dealer, bought the car, brought it home, prepped it for long-term storage (drained fuel from carb and tank, sprayed all under-hood rubber with a lubricant to help preserve it), and put the car into a sealed storage container. When his daughter was married some years later, he gifted the car to his daughter and her new husband (who we bought the car from). They opted to leave the car in storage under her dad’s care, as opposed to pulling the plastic off the interior and getting the car back on the road. And we are so glad they did! Very, very rarely do we see something preserved to such a high degree.
