Model History

The 1962 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz epitomized early 1960s American luxury, combining Cadillac’s reputation for elegance with the exclusivity of a limited-production convertible. The Biarritz was the pinnacle of Cadillac’s offerings, distinguished by its sleek styling, lavish details, and commanding presence. The 1962 model reflected a design transition from the dramatic fins of the 1950s to a more refined, tailored look. Its clean lines, broad chrome grille, and restrained rear fins conveyed modern sophistication, while details such as distinctive Eldorado badging and polished trim set it apart from other Cadillac models.

As a convertible, the Eldorado Biarritz offered open-air motoring at its most luxurious. Power came from Cadillac’s 390-cubic-inch V8 engine, which provided smooth and confident performance, perfectly suited for effortless cruising. Advanced features for the era—including power windows, power seats, and automatic climate control—were standard, reinforcing Cadillac’s position as the leader in luxury innovation. Inside, the car’s spacious cabin featured premium materials, plush upholstery, and a focus on passenger comfort.

What made the 1962 Eldorado Biarritz especially attractive was its rarity and prestige. Produced in limited numbers, it was a car for those who wanted not just transportation but a statement of wealth, style, and status. Today, it remains one of Cadillac’s most admired and collectible classics.

Brief Description

This magnificent 1962 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz stands as one of the finest surviving examples of Cadillac’s final fin-era design. Finished in black with a white convertible top, the car remains largely unrestored and remarkably original, showing approximately 59,000 miles. It still retains its original factory convertible top, an extraordinary testament to its preservation and care over more than six decades.

The car has had only two owners prior to joining my collection. The previous owner’s father admired this Eldorado for years and waited seven years before finally purchasing it from the original owner in 1992, when it showed just 49,000 miles. He treasured the car for over 30 years, maintaining it with great pride and showing it regularly at both Cadillac National and local events, where it earned numerous trophies and awards for its authenticity and

condition.

After chasing this Eldorado for over a year and a half, I was finally able to acquire it for my collection. The interior remains completely original, including the door panels, seats, and trim — exactly as it left the factory. It features the ultra-rare black-and-white Cannes cloth and leather bucket seat interior, a one-year-only option exclusive to the 1962 Eldorado Biarritz. Very few Biarritz convertibles were built with this combination, and even fewer survive today in original condition—especially finished in black with a white convertible top. Even the trunk retains its original factory cloth lining, and much of the factory paint

remains intact.

A beautifully preserved, award-winning survivor, this Eldorado Biarritz perfectly embodies the elegance, craftsmanship, and prestige that defined Cadillac’s golden era.
