This 1956 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz convertible is one of 2,150 examples produced for the model year.
Power is provided by a 365ci V8 equipped with two four-barrel carburetors and mated to a four-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission.
Equipped with dual four-barrel carburetors, the 365ci V8 was rated at 305 horsepower when new.
Finished from the factory in Emerald Green Metallic with a matching convertible top, a repaint was commissioned on this example in the 2000s.
Factory Sabre-Spoke wheels measure 15″ in diameter and are fitted with BFGoodrich Silvertown wide whitewall tires.
The Eldorado utilizes a coil-spring front suspension along with a live rear axle on semi-elliptical leaf springs.
Braking is managed by four-wheel power-assisted drums.
Two-tone leather seat upholstery is accompanied by a color-coordinated padded dashboard top and door panels accented with polished trim.
Factory features include power-operated windows and an AM radio as well as GM’s automatic headlight dimming system, Autronic Eye, which is retained on the left corner of the dash.
The white-rimmed steering wheel with chrome accents and a horn ring frames a sweeping 120-mph speedometer and a five-digit odometer that shows just under 66k miles.
