Hello. My name is David, and I am starting a journey. It will be one of self-discovery, learning, challenge, frustration, success, and satisfaction. I am repairing a 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz.
I was given the car as a wedding gift. It has around 170k miles.
I have always loved the 79-85 Eldorado. I was 15 in 1985 and to me, the car was everything! It was luxury, style, sport, and power! It still is today, if not literally, at least in my opinion. I guess men don't really change from whom they are in their youth.
The car was for sale a few streets over. I had walked by it many times but until my husband pointed it out did I really notice it. After a quick drive and a bit of negotiations, the car was mine.
The Caddy, as I have learned, is a bit of a rare bird. I will outline the hows and whys later in the blog. For now, just enjoy the pictures. I took these on August 7th, 2013, the date the project started.

| 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz in Dark Blue Metallic |
 |
| The lines are clean and the wheels, cast aluminum turbine, are rare! |
 |
| No body damage, just the wear and tear of 28 years |
 |
| Perfection! |
 |
| I chose the shot for the before so we can compare once the car is repainted. |
 |
| Both the Stainless Steel roof AND the Astroroof! |
 |
| Luxury, 1985 style. |
