1977 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz 425Ci V8 Coupe

The 1977 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz was one of the last true full size luxury cars of the golden age of the American automobile. It managed to survive the gas crunch of the early '70's with its truly impressive dimensions fully intact as other cars and carmakers were already shrinking wheelbases and engine displacements in an attempt to compete with smaller, economical competitors. Leave it up to Cadillac to ignore all external market indicators and just keep producing the largest, most luxurious, most beautiful cars in the world. They are, for more reasons than I can count, some of the best classic cars to own, drive and enjoy. Classic cars are one of the major passions in my life, and they are all great sources of joy, but most of them just don't measure up to a Cadillac. A vintage Cadillac, because they were made to such a high standard of build quality and a philosophy of luxury and refinement, can be driven every day very easily and enjoyably. They start easily, run quietly and the interiors are legendary for noise reduction that far surpassed other cars of the period, so they feel very modern to use regularly and seem to benefit from the exercise.
