CadillacEldorado Biarritz

The Biarritz was the open-air crown of the 1957 Eldorado line — 1,800 built, each a rolling jukebox of chrome and tailfins.

This car spent its first thirty years in Palm Springs before a frame-off restoration in 1992. The hydraulic top still rises in exactly eighteen seconds, the way it left the Detroit line.
