A recent release from Stamp Models brought us two variations of the '58 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz "Raindrop" Concept cars. One of them is the more elaborate prototype used by Harley Earl and the other more closely resembles the production Eldorado Biarritz. Five prototypes were built, and these two are the only known to exist today.

Great photographs and a video review of these gorgeous 1958 Cadillac Eldorados ! They are beautiful cars and 1/43 models and certainly make for superb replicas.
