1956 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible
The Story
In 1949, Cadillac rolled its one-millionth car off the assembly line, and it was a Coupe Deville. Interestingly, in 1956, just seven years later, Cadillac would roll its one-millionth postwar car off the assembly line, this 1956 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible. Featured in the June 11, 1956 edition of Automotive News, this Biarritz features the unique gold dash plaque stating “One Millionth.” It’s truly a remarkable achievement to think that it took Cadillac from 1902 to 1949 to build its millionth car, but in just seven years after World War II, it produced another million cars.
Retaining its Kelsey-Hayes gold Sabre wheels, it’s also still has the rare, original license plate frames. A tremendous piece of automotive and Cadillac history, this 1956 Eldorado Biarritz would be a gem in any collection.
