| Classic 1955 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible Like its sisters, the Buick Skylark and the Oldsmobile Fiesta, the first Eldorado was shown to the public at GM’s Motorama in 1953 as a limited-production convertible available in small numbers at a high price. In subsequent years, the price was lowered and the car was built in greater quantity, being not quite as “custom” as the original ’53. While the rest of the Cadillac lineup received modest changes, the 1955 Eldorado received dramatically new rear styling. The Eldorado was the first production Cadillac to use the rocketship tailfins seen earlier on the La Espada and El Camino Motorama show cars. Eventually, the fins appeared on all Cadillac models, starting in 1958. Round brake, turn signal, and backup lights were paired in clusters at the base of the long tailfins. Eldorados came equipped with an exclusive high-performance, 331-cubic inch V-8, which produced 270 horsepower through two 4-barrel carburetors while breathing through a massive gold-painted batwing air cleaner. Gorgeous new “Sabre Spoke” wheels appeared for the first time, highlighted by rear wheel openings without fender skirts, which also made their initial appearance. At a base price of $5,814, before options, Eldorado production remained limited. The 1955 Cadillacs were introduced in November of 1954, once again setting a new production record of 140,777 units, of which 3,950 were the luxurious Eldorado Convertible. 270 hp, 331 cu. in. V-8 engine with dual four-barrel carburetors, four-speed Hydra-Matic transmission, coil-spring independent front suspension and live rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs, and power-assisted four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes.
