Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz

The Eldorado model was part of the Cadillac line from 1953 to 2002.
"The Cadillac Eldorado was the longest running American personal luxury car as it was the only one sold after the 1998 model year."
Its main competitors included the Mark Series and the lower-priced Buick Riviera. The name, Eldorado was derived from the Spanish words "el dorado", the "gilded one", the name was given originally to the legendary chief or "cacique" of a S. American Indian tribe. Legend has it that his followers would sprinkle his body with gold dust on ceremonial occasions and he would wash it off again by diving into a lake. The name more frequently refers to a legendary city of fabulous riches, somewhere in S. America, that inspired many European expeditions, including one to the Orinoco by England's Sir Walter Raleigh.
