Don't laugh, because this 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz is now 31 years old, the same age the legendary 1959 Eldorado Biarritz was in 1990, and nobody questioned its collectability. OK, so it's not as flashy, but these handsome coupes have a strong following and they really are some of the best-riding cars of the era. Admit it, the sucker looks good. It has obviously been well-maintained all its life, which tends to be the case with expensive Cadillacs, and whenever it needed something, it got it. There's a new windshield and trim, new headlights and marker lights, and even the padded vinyl portion of the top has been freshened at some point. The tan leather interior was the height of luxury in 1985, using pillow-tufted seats and every comfort and convenience feature GM could invent. The door panels, the carpets, and the headliner are likewise in good original shape, although the steering wheel shows a few minor cracks, which is pretty common for these cars. All the gauges, lights, and power accessories are fully functional, including the automatic climate control and trip computer, and a newer Kenwood AM/FM/CD stereo head unit replaces the original and clumsy Delco system. There's also a big trunk that's fully finished in the same tan carpets, complete with a spare tire with matching cover. Cadillac's 4.1 liter V8 wasn't a tire-smoker, but it is reliable, smooth, and torquey enough to make the front-wheel-drive Eldo feel quick off the line and able to cruise effortlessly at any speed. The A/C has been converted to R134a refrigerant for easier service, but even the original cold air intake tube is still in place. The lightweight aluminum V8 has a nice growl that disappears on.
