Cadillac reintroduced the Biarritz package for their top tier Eldorado in 1976, after its departure in 1964, this time featuring a padded cabriolet top covering the back half of the roofline adorned with twin carriage lights behind the quarter windows, along with body colored wheel covers and special badging. Enhancements the following year, and carried through the 1978 model year, included pillow-top, tufted seats that provide unrivaled interior comfort! This would mark the very last of the ninth generation Cadillac, with its road-dominating size, long hoods hiding immense big block powerplants, with massive interior and truck space! A host of standard features were always at the fingertips of these lucky Eldorado owners, and this particular example stayed with its original owner its entire life!
