1957 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritzwith all the papers, plus a Seville rolling body shell.
A few years ago I pulled a 1957 Eldorado roller body from a building with great papers and I held on to it. The convertible has a nice frame with a cowl tag, engine lube tag and a matching number engine and transmission, I was very fond of the color as well. Along with this I was able to get a very solid 1957 Eldorado Seville body. We had projected combing the two vehicles to make a Biarritz. The biggest obstacle was that the Eldo convertible body had a big piece of sheet metal missing on the passenger side, which included part of the quarter panel and part of the convertible bucket. If someone had these two cars, and part of a convertible bucket from a series 62, they could put something great together. I have so many projects and a yard full of rare Cadillacs, but it is time to downsize. We just sold a red 1957 Eldorado at Mecum Montery for over 100k, this is a very desirable model. The book value on a Biarritz shows 180k on the high side. I have sold some in the past for over 200k in past, that were fully restored and awarded.
The cars are now located in Florida, we had hoped to restore them, but we have yet to start the project. It would be a shame for me to drag the cars back to Maryland to then turn around and have them sold in Florida. This is your chance to acquire these bodies. This project is perfect for an avid parts collector or someone who has access to the necessary parts. I just hate to let these go!
Please contact us with any questions, I realize that there are very few pictures, however it was not our intention to ever sell these. I may be able to provide you more pictures soon if this listing does not generate interest. You can see the chunk taken out if you look at the 2 cars next to each other.
