Basic information and history
The 1984 Cadillac Eldorado belongs to the front-wheel drive E-body generation and is known for its combination of a comfort-oriented chassis, extensive equipment and distinctive American design. In the same year, Cadillac relaunched the Eldorado Convertible, built in collaboration with ASC, making the open-top Eldorado from 1984 an interesting part of the model's history. According to available information, around 3,300 examples of the 1984 Eldorado Convertible were produced, and the Biarritz version brought extra focus to the choice of materials and decoration.
This example is an Eldorado Biarritz convertible imported from California by the seller. The seller states that the car is a Rolls-Royce Gold Edition. The odometer reading is 92,300 miles according to the instrument (148,600 km). Documented history and service records are missing, so the odometer reading cannot be verified. The seller mentions a long paint tear from a vandalism in Anaheim and sun-related wear on several interior details, which is common for cars that have been driven in warmer climates.
