Description

  PRICE REDUCED!! This gorgeous Biarritz underwent a complete, no

  expense spared, full rotisserie restoration beginning in 2015 by

  several renowned Cadillac restorers. She was a completely rust-free

  example prior to undergoing her painstaking restoration using only

  original or NOS parts. The results are a better-than-new, stunning

  1956 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. She is a Senior Award Winner at

  the Cadillac & LaSalle Club. With less than 40 miles on her since

  the completed restoration, she is ready to be shown at National

  Concours events and shows. This Biarritz is simply stunning in her

  correct and original triple black livery. At $6,556, the Eldorado

  was nearly $1,800 more expensive than the lesser Series 62

  Convertible. This Biarritz is one of 2,150 produced and was sent

  from the factory to Kansas City, KS. By February 20, 1976, she was

  acquired by David Ventresca of Los Angeles, CA.The history file

  contains the original California title and many years of

  registrations.Mr. Ventresca had produced many award-winning

  Cadillacs. His 1953 Eldorado was included in the General Motors

  2011 Cadillac Heritage Display at Pebble Beach. By 1980, the

  Biarritz was acquired by Harvey Stelte from Alberta, Canada to be

  restored. Mr. Stelte carefully and thoroughly disassembled the

  Biarritz for a rotisserie restoration and accumulated countless

  extra parts but failed to make further progress in his 35 years of

  ownership. The Biarritz was stored until the current owner

  purchased her on July 23, 2015. The current owner began the

  extensive, photo documented, three-year restoration that was led by

  Art Wright Restorations in Tempe, AZ. Each of the specialty trades

  were done by some of the most respected restoration professionals.

  The restoration was completed in 2019 and the results are what we

  consider to be a better-than-new, stunning 1956 Cadillac Eldorado

  Biarritz. In her inaugural competition, she easily earned a Senior

  Award at the Cadillac & LaSalle Club 2019 Grand National Meet in

  Louisville, KY. The gorgeous factory black paint (Paint Code 10) is

  absolutely stunning. She has incredible luster and is polished to

  perfection presenting a deep and rich mirror finish. The original

  and NOS trim details have all been meticulously replated and also

  polished to perfection. The door caps and side moldings are in

  as-new condition and devoid of imperfections. The 200-plus piece

  front grill was painstakingly completely disassembled and anodized

  in the correct gold color in California and includes a NOS Cadillac

  script logo. The gorgeous three-piece Sabre wheels were restored

  and anodized in the correct gold color by Valley Wire Wheels. She

  has perfect and correct new black vinyl power convertible top (Top

  Code 2) that had never been down before our photo shoot and

  operates flawlessly. The Parade Boot is in new condition and comes

  complete with the storage case which fits nicely into place inside

  the trunk with the factory correct holding straps. The flawless

  black-on-black leather interior (Trim Code 11) is factory correct

  and was restored by Carl Kranston of Original Leather Interiors. It

  was a seven-month process which required seven cow hides, the most

  of any Cadillac model. The interior is well optioned and includes

  the signal-seeking Wonder Bar AM radio, EZ Eye glass (Accessory

  Code E), Heater (Accessory Code H), Autronic-Eye, Remote Control

  Trunk Lock (Accessory Code S) and Casco Automatic cigar/cigarette

  lighter. The overall attention to detail and finish of the interior

  is stunning and show as new, or better-than-new. The engine

  compartment is in concours condition and shows as factory correct

  and new. The matching numbers drivetrain is powered by a newly

  rebuilt 365 ci overhead valve V-8 producing 305 hp through the dual

  4-barrel carburetors. The power is transferred through a newly

  restored 4-speed Hydra-Matic Automatic Transmission. Her underbody

  has been coated in the factory-correct Red Oxide Primer and shows

  as new. All suspension parts and brakes are all correct and in new

  condition. This Biarritz has completed less than 40 miles since the

  completion of the restoration. The trunk is completely restored

  with new lining and shows beautifully. The spare wheel has the

  correct restored Sabre wheel, and the jack is also fully restored.

  This Biarritz comes complete with photos recording the restoration

  process, extensive restoration documents, receipts, owners manuals,

  Cadillac advertising glamor brochure, Cadillac Shop Manual,

  Official Judging Manual, Authenticity Manual and Cadillac Parts

  List Manual. For more information and details, please call, text or
