 I like the last big Cadillacs of the late 70's and Stamp did an amazing job on the 1978 Eldorado Biarritz Custom. This two tone paint job is stunning.

Some specs about the LE 1978 Eldorado Custom Biarritz. Only 2000 were produced.

About

This limited edition was produced in conjunction with ASC to celebrate the end of the “full-size” ninth generation Eldorados.

Paint – These automobiles were painted Arizona Beige on the lower body and wheel covers with Demitasse Brown on the hood and roof panel. Dark brown pin striping accented the body lines.

Upholstery – The interior was two-tone light beige and Dark Saddle leather pillow top seating. The carpeting and steering leather cover was dark beige.

Unique Features – Each of these cars included:

  • Cabriolet Elk Grain vinyl roof in Arizona Beige
  • Small rear quarter windows
  • Smaller than standard rear window
  • Brushed stainless steel molding on along the doors and hood sides
  • Exterior gold-plated Cadillac emblems

@100ford2003 As some would say this is an impressive automobile either in scale model or real. In this LE this was certainly quite a machine because of the color combo.

The only other impressive looking GM LE was the 1980 Buick Regal Somerset. I have a relative who got one from new.
