    A beautiful automobile. Such style and class. My Dad built me and my brothers a go-cart in 1957, and it had fins on it, like most of the cars that year. It was painted red with white pinstripes. On the back he painted Tot Rod in cursive. I drove that thing all over town. Back in the good old days. When people were free of restrictions, and operated on common sense. I miss them both. RIP Dad.

    This 1957 Cadillac El Dorado Biarritz (pronounced 'bee-ar-itz') was Harley Earl's guilty pleasure of a concept car he talked GM into production, along with the outrageously expensive 1957-58 El Dorado Brougham 4-door hardtops. He drove a personal car version of this one, retiring his 1951 GM LeSabre to the Sloan Museum, and in early 1958 he "refreshed" it with his 1959 Cadillac style tailfins. A true Harley Earl masterpiece!

    There is a big difference from the 56 to the 57. Way back when I was 15 I fell for a 56 Eldorado ragtop, it was for sale at a Citroen dealership which was probably the only one in English speaking Canada. The car was likely full of bondo, I didn’t care, 500 bucks and it could have been mine! I had the money. My father laid down the law. NO! Too much money! I remember it well, white, red interior and when I popped the hood there was an air breather in the shape of a huge triangle. One never forgets their first love do they? ❤️

    I had pointed out in a different video for a 57 like this that the designers back them had a theme for the car that was carried through from the front to the rear. Take note at the 07:29 mark how the rear brake lights replicate the headlight theme for the eyebrow and recessed Lens . The exhaust port has a mini-dagmar and a upper Fin to match the trunk tailfins. The front bumper has similar dual ports on each side with lights in them while the rear has 1 exhaust and 1 reverse Light . This car would make Jacob Epstein smile and admire is as Art scupted from clay and given life as moving Art on the Boulevard where the Museum comes to you .

    The “barrel clock” seems unique to this Caddy. When the sun heats the crests on the seat backs, are the passenger’s backs “branded?” Please forgive me for a “steer” in that direction!

    You said it is a 56 at first instead of 57! My 57 Biarritz is the same color combination! I also believe the fiberglass top cover is called a parade boot... this car should have had the 2x4 carb set up with the batwing air cleaner. The back up lights aren't original to the car either. However, this is a spectacular car!! Kudos to Leslie as always...

    My classmates father had one that was green with green inside but it was only the Eldorado convertible . This was in 1977 and it sat next to the hosue with a cover over it. One day a cadillac fan had diven by and caught a glimps of the lower rear bumper and knew exactly what it was. He stopped to look at it and saw that it was a convertible. This was a very rare car in my City and it was from lower California in great shape worth restoring . It wasn't for sale until the person hit that magic number where it can Buy new memories .

    Cadillac in 1957 telegraphed on the Eldorado the fins that they would use on all the 1958 line-up. They did not continue to do that, probably because it gave away too much styling information to the competition.
