We have done a complete new interior and top boot on this unique Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible. This is a very unique Ostrich interior. Their was a lot of hand crafting that was incorporated into the Biarritz. This interior has all hand rolled pleats.
The 1961 Cadillac Series 62 Eldorado Biarritz Convertible was priced at $6,500 with 1,450 examples produced. Powering the car was an overhead valve V-8 engine that displaced 390 cubic-inches and produced 325 horsepower. It had power vent windows, six-way power bench seat and even a remote control trunk lock.
The styling for 1961 was updated, with a new grille that leaned back towards both the top of the hood and the bumpers. The wraparound windshield found on the 1960 models were replaced with non-wraparound glass. In the back, the familiar tailfins could still be found. The rear tail-lamps were vertical in 1960, and horizontal for 1961.

Great looking craftsmanship! I've got a '61 Eldo Biarritz as well and want to retrim. I'm in Michigan, so will be choosing a local trim guy (He works at GM design studios) If you've got any other pictures of this Job, I'd love to see them! davis.peter.b@gmail.com
