Eldorado is a French resort town on the Bay of Biscayne, north of the Spanish border. The Eldorado Biarritz Convertible, introduced in 1953, was the top-of-the-line prestige vehicle in the Cadillac line. The 1959 Cadillac was an all new car and its towering tailfins have made this flamboyant Caddy one of the best-known icons of the 1950's. The Eldorado added to this sensational shape with unique sweeping chrome trim that decorated the side of the car. The 1959 Biarritz was a limited-production car - only 1,320 were built. Powertrain specifications include a 390 cubic-inch, 345 horsepower V8 with triple two-barrel carburetors and a four-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Powered by a modified version of the 390 CID V-8 found in all Cadillac's of the time, the Eldorado got a boost in power from three-two-barrel carburetors to deliver 345 Horsepower. This kind of power would propel these 5,000 pound land rockets to a comfortable 130 mph top speed. Equipped with a long list of standard equipment not available as options on other cars, the Biarritz delivered luxury features such as air suspension, power vent windows, antenna and more to make this car the center of attention wherever it would go. In 2008 a 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible was brought to RM Auctions' Vintage Motor Cars of Meadow Brook. It was estimated to sell for $180,000-$230,000. A high bid of $231,000 including buyer's premium was enough to secure new ownership. The lot was sold. I was at that auction...it was finished in Persian Sand with a white power-operated convertible top. The interior was white leather upholstery with dark red carpeting. This car is just as nice and it drives like it rolled out of the Cadillac showroom. It was the styling genius of the late Harley Earl who headed up GM'S design department for more than 30 glorious years. The American buying public want more chrome and it was Harley who gave it to them. The same with big tail fins. It is the 1959 Cadillac Eldorado that is recognized world wide as the "King Of Fins" If you would like to read about the incredible contributions Harley Earl gave to the automotive marketplace, go to www.carofthecentury.com. This is a web site created by Harley's Grandson, Richard Earl that is dedicated to the accomplishments of his Grandfather. The chrome, stainless, trim, paint, body, interior, trunk, engine compartment and undercarriage on this car are indicative to a car that has undergone a very expensive and complete restoration. They just don't come much better than this. The car starts right up, runs smooth and whisper quiet and shifts perfect. We have been selling the best of the best when it comes to vintage cars on Ebay Motors since 2000 and this Eldorado Convertible is no exception. This car is priced $50,000 to $75,000 less than other comperable 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Convertibles on the market today. If you want to know the lowest possible acceptable price, PLEASE DO NOT e-mail me and ask "What is your reserve?" or, "What is your best price?" Simply pick up the phone and call me at 954-873-6495 and I will be happy to share that information with you. This very, very special Buick Century Caballero Station Wagon is owned by the owner of the fabulous "Cars Of Dreams" Museum in North Palm Beach,FL. Recently the Cars Of Dreams Museum was featured on International TV...Here is a link to the Special on the Museum: Tail Fins and Chrome features: Cars of Dreams We constantly are changing the inventory from the museum and always have anywhere from 15-30 cars for sale at any one time. PLEASE write to me at luvdg@aol.com and we will send you the link to the Cars Of Dreams Museum in N. Palm Beach,FL. The owner keeps his cars anywhere from a few weeks, to a few months, to several years...then sells them (often at a very substantial loss) and replaces them with other spectacular cars or takes on several more projects. All of the Cars Of Dreams cars are started once a month and driven a couple of miles. Checked for any problems, even minor leaks, fixed if necessary and then put back in the Museum with a trickle charger kept on every single car. John has created the same thing with Mega-super yachts....He loves the challenge to create and build something that has never been done before... His Company, Millennium Yachts built "The World is not enough" to ultimately attain the world speed record for a 141' Super yacht....70 knots with 22,000 horsepower. Here is a 8 minute U-Tube of John attempting to break the world's record for a 141' Luxury Motor Super Mega Yacht. In this attempt, the Yacht hit 65mph but a few month's later the record was broken...70knots ....approx. 80MPH. An absolutely incredible feat...if you take the time to watch the video with this 22,000 Horsepower Mega Luxury Yacht...it will give you an indication of how John applies his same love for vintage cars. After selling the "World Is Not Enough", he followed with "Casino Royale" and now "Quantum of Solace"..coming in the Fall of 2011 is "Diamonds Are Forever" It is a 200' Mega Yacht currently well-under construction in Italy at the Benetti Yacht Factory. The World is Not Enough MEGA YACHT 8 min - Aug 2, 2009 www.youtube.com John also has built many other Super Yachts...just a few are Octopussy, Casino Royale, Moonraker and now Quantum Of Solace...all named after James Bond Movies. The new 200' Benetti is scheduled to be launched in August or September of 2011. Motor Yacht Diamonds are Forever Description This stunning 61m Benetti motor yacht will be delivered in August 2011 built to Lloyds class and MCA compliant. She features a signature Evan K Marshall interior comprising two panoramic master suites and four guest staterooms. There are guest and service elevators to all decks, a full beam sky lounge and vast open and shaded deck spaces. Of particular note is the additional top deck, located above the sun deck, which forms a very private, panoramic deck. The aft part of the sundeck can be transformed into a touch and go helipad, while technological superiority will be ensured by Millennium Edition build supervision.

If your among the nearly 200 million Americans who still have an ongoing love affair with the automobile... WELCOME... and should you happen to be from a country other than the U.S........ your equally welcome! Little did Daimler realize just how much his tiny one cylinder motorized bike was going to change the world when invented in the mid 1890's. This motorized bicycle was refined and eventually became the 1st automobile. (one cylinder) and his company became known as Daimler/Benz. (Mercedes Benz) (DaimlerChrysler today) James Dean Step back with us for a return to the middle of the twentieth century... The late, great fabulous 1950's...It was a wonderful time, offering so many new beginnings, as the terrible memories of World War II began to gradually fade and the dreams of our returning heroes and soldiers, as well as their families, could now be fully realized. With the promise of a lasting world peace, came the hope of prosperity and tranquility...all of which was soon to become a reality. Elvis "An Age of Innocence" The Fabulous Fifties was an "age of innocence" and as a young man growing up during this period, a guy would consider himself to be "lucky" if he was able to hold a girl's hand on their first date. If he got a peck on the cheek by their third date, well.... he knew they were made for each other! It was an age of integrity and trust. One could actually leave your front and rear door unlocked and your car keys in your ignition... and when you returned, nothing would be missing. "The Rock n' Roll Era and the The Drive-In Craze" Book by Michael Karl Witzel Book by Don and Susan Sanders In the 1950's life was less complex and perhaps a little slower. People actually took time to wave from their convertibles to friends and to even smile to a stranger and even give a friendly "Hello" to a passerby. Remember those great nights at the local drive-in restaurant or those "make-out" sessions at the local drive-in movie theater. And the term "Parking" took on a whole new meaning. By the mid 1950's Rock n' Roll had burst onto the scene. Both new cars and souped-up hot rods had become part of the youth culture. The entertainment industry, not to be left out, brought out countless low-budget movies that brought teens to the drive-in movies by the thousands. By the early 1960's songs such as the Beach Boy's "409" and "Little Duece Coupe", The Ripchords "Hey Little Cobra" Jan & Dean's "Drag City" and Ronny and the Daytona's " GTO" were riding high on the charts. Our love affair with the Automobile was in "full bloom." A few days prior to the new model cars being shown to the public, most new car dealerships would cover their showroom windows with brown paper. Many times I recall try to catch a peek or a glimpse of the new models.... The American Public could hardly wait to see what new and exciting creations were about to be offered by Detroit. It is these very cars... the Cars from Dreams, that we will feature and reminisce about... and every month we will offer stories and memories of these great "Cars from Dreams."... as well as offering the very best examples for sale. The cars of the 50's and 60's for the most part had "personality!" The great Chevys, Pontiacs, Cadillacs, Buicks and Oldsmobiles helped make GM a world leader and giant of the auto world. Ford produced fabulous cars including Ford Thunderbirds, Lincolns and Mercurys. Chrysler offered all those incredible Mopars... Plymouths, Desoto, Dodges, and Chrysler. 1959 Cadillac Brochure Cover Competition was fierce, but other marquees like Studebaker, AMC, Nash, Kaiser, Hudson, Muntz, Tucker, Avanti, etc. tried to capture a piece of this huge exploding marketplace. Unfortunately, they didn't have the dollar and staying power to compete with the "Big Three." As the 1960's drew to a close, cars began to change. New EPA requirements and increasing prices for gasoline hasten the demise of the "Muscle" car. The horsepower race came to an end by the early 1970's.... at least for a while. In 1976 Cadillac crushed the molds to build their last Convertible... the Cadillac Eldorado. They theorized that the American buying public didn't really want convertibles anymore and that production numbers were too small to bother with manufacturing "open air" cars. Boy were they wrong! Heinz Prechter seized the opportunity to custom make convertibles for most manufacturers and ASC (American Sunroof Corporation) exploded with orders and sales. So what exactly is it that makes us lust after those "Cars From Dreams?" Simple.... it's the memories, the happy times..... those great times from our youth and the freedom to go where we wanted...when we wanted... with whom we wanted...and in a car that was a ball to drive. It's where Johnny took Mary on their 1st date! It's so easy to spot a "Car From Dreams" on our highways today... just look for someone motoring down the street with a huge grin on their face. Today our hobby is pursued by guys and girls alike...it's just not a "guy" thing anymore and I think that's great. There are enough great memories to go around for everyone. How big is the car-collecting hobby? No one really knows for sure. However, there are several million cars that have been preserved or restored and our hobby is expanding... not shrinking.... and with sixty million "Baby Boomers" with disposal income and spendable dollars out there... the prices will continue to escalate. The nice thing about our hobby today, as opposed to the wild speculation on vintage cars that occurred throughout the 1980's is that these cars are being driven and enjoyed... not just been stored away in warehouses and garages. So celebrate with us as we embark on the next fifty years and if you feel compelled to exclaim "Hubba Hubba" or a loud "Hooray" as we reminisce with these "Cars From Dreams"... it's perfectly acceptable!
