1957 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. Condition is Used and sold As-Is with no warranty.One of only 1,800 producedOne-time relisting with lower Buy It Now and lower Reserve price. Same listing, with a correction to the walkaround video link. Will also state 'No interest in trade' based on question received.Very Unique Vehicle!I purchased the vehicle on eBay back in 2007. I spent the first two years or so on repairs to make it drivable and then cruised around the local area. After making it through the Great Recession, this hobby was eventually dropped, and the car has been mostly dormant since 2014. I start it every now and then to drive it around a little, but it needs work to become a daily driver again. For example, the water pump needs replaced (a rebuilt water pump is included) and radiator was leaking the last time I drove it, windshield wipers don't work, and it's always had a slow leak in front passenger side tire. It's obviously a 60+ year old vehicle that needs work. Basically, it needs someone with more time and the desire to get it done. Even now it is a true head-turning vehicle wherever you go. I've had to request men to stop stroking my fins in the parking lot. Odometer states 74,949 but actual mileage unknown.Videos were taken on April 4, 2020 for this eBay listing: Pictures were taken on April 4, 2020 and include a shot of the included 3-piece hard parade boot and included parts book.Check out videos for interior condition.Some notes are online dating back to the 2007-2009 time period on my old blog which includes some details of a few repairs completed, some pictures, and some interesting historical info: For example, the original build sheet is posted on the blog: The build sheet reveals that it was originally Olympic White in color with Kiowa Red & White interior. It was apparently finished on April 16thIt's sad to see it go, but it's more sad to see it sit.
