1958 Eldorado Biarritz – Listing of Known Survivors
Posted by Lars Schenk in History on June 28th, 2005
The idea was to start a list of all known 1958 Biaritz – like you know it from the 1953 Eldorado database from Yann Saunders and Matt Larson. There’s also a 57/58 Brougham database available. But as far as I know there is nothing about the 58 Eldorado Biarritz.
We have a couple of pictures of 58 Biarritz in the picture gallery. Most of them are without VID /Body# and color/trimcodes yet. But it’s a start.
I you like that idea, I would be very happy about your support.
You are welcome to send an email to info@lars-schenk.de if you own or know about a 1958 Biarritz.
I would try to make a complete list with:
Body#, VIN#, Paint, Trim, Top and Current Owner, other details.
I will welcome also pictures and detailed infos about the cars.
If someone will give permission to me, I’ll upload pictures and infos to this site.
Anonymous infos are also welcome: There is no need to publish the owners name or contact info.
Thanks for your support. Special Thanks to Dirk van Dorst, Dave Becker and many other for their support.

Sleeping 1958 Biarritz
Posted by Lars Schenk in Cadillac Owners on October 27th, 2003
The 58 Biarritz showed under “sleeping 58 Biarritz” was found by coincidence. Car was 40 years at same owner, get ill, sold to a body shop owner. The body shop owner dismanteled the bia , body off , parts in boxes……and died (stroke ).
He’s friend re-assembled the car for me, to ship it to my place in Belgium. Air ride , airco , autr eye , and all the options… 29.000 mls! Inetrior has only 2 loose stitches. I will bring the car back on the road “as found” next summer. Regulary update whit pict’s…
