dmoss did mention Eldorado, but wasn't sure if it should be listed Eldorado or Series whatever. |

Technically, it's a 1960 Cadillac, "Series 64", Eldorado Biarritz. The color is non-authentic but does resemble a much darker shade of "Champagne Gold". Mine was Siena Rose (fuchsia) with white leather trim throughout, including door panels and arm rests! Today, when you order a Cadillac with "leather" trim, you get only the seat cushions and seat back inserts in leather! Times have changed. So have prices ...UPWARDS! Welcome to 2007. |

mrcadillac, we had a 1960 Biarritz as well. Ours was white with a pretty metallic gold/tan leather interior. Loved that car!!! Too bad we traded it for a 67 Fleetwood Brougham...not nearly as special as the Biarritz. |

IMHO the 1960 "Series 64" Cadillacs (we've owned both the coupe and the convertible) are among the most stylish of any American car built in the post-WW2 era (back when "big was beautiful") and up to the first fuel crisis in the early seventies. We will never see an era like it again; more's the pity. I'm not saying that today's comparably priced cars are poor in comparison; on the contrary they are more reliable, durable and economical. But they all lack one ingredient: eye-appeal ! |

This belongs to Maurice in the series. |

Here's Maurice's Caddy after it got wrecked it in episode 17 of season 3. I'm pretty sure it wasn't part of the original script because the reason for the crash seemed to be hurriedly written into the storyline. -- Last edit: 2016-09-17 20:47:51 |
