Great pic. I guess I need some new clothes now. :)

Needs spinners, you should be able to pick some up for cheap now that they are out of style.

There was a huge Caprice convertible for sale, though it would make a cool beach cruiser... but alas I don't have the space or money for such a toy.

Reminds me of a movie car driven by Paul Newman...perfect for the character, not for Newman in real life.

That's an 1984 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz!

VERY NICE! :)

How did you know it's an 84? They made them in 85 also. Factory I believe.

I had a 50-50 chance of being right....I took a shot! :)

That is SO cool. Have fun with it.
You need to take it to car shows and wear a powder blue leisure suit and some white shoes.

Needs some curb feelers! :)

The golden age for pimp Cadillacs was the late-‘60s thru mid-‘70s. The film, “Live and Let Die” immortalized them better than any other. When I attended an inner city HS in Minneapolis in the ‘70s, they were all over the neighborhood w fur dashboards, TV antennas, outlandish Landau tops and huge chrome grills, etc.

By the mid-‘80s, that was all over. Pimps were driving new Mercedes or something. This car is more of a conservative, country club ride. Like something a banker would drive.

Drop tops are loads of fun! Especially in the fall and spring, before it gets too cold or too hot! Enjoy!

The chassis flex on those things much be insane. ;)

Cool car--I remember an episode of Miami Vice where the baddie drove one of these, and back in the day my GFs mother had the Buick Riv version of this car in the same color combo--smooth ride.

Shoot out the windshield and enjoy your new toy.....Ah-nold.

Was that a factory built vert or a conversion ?? Ive never seen one. Lots of coupes around here back in the day. Sort of wanted one in all black.
