When Stamp previewed their new Eldorado, several noted the absence of the stainless steel roof section. They listened and are working on the best way to implement it. When the production version arrives, it will feature a realistic-looking stainless steel design on the front half of the roof. Major kudos to Stamp for responding to their collectors! Here are the colors that will be offered:

NEO did both an ElDorado and Riviera from this era several years ago. Both are excellent models.

Good news. I'd be interested in a blue one depending on how all things work out.

I have the Neo Biarritz in black. Excellent model. Oddly, Neo did not put the year of the car on the base plate.I've always thought it to be a 1979 but no proof. The Cadillac Biarritz in this style was issued from 1979 to 1985. There appears to be little if any changes in the outer body over the 7 year period.I have read that the only changes from year to year were in the interior materials and drive train. Does anyone know an easy way of telling the models apart?

All that I've ever noticed was the grill and fender badging:
- For 1979, fender scripts were above the trim, behind the front wheel and the grill was in the traditional egg-crate style.
- For 1981, fender scripts were replaced with a rectangular badge below the trim, behind the front wheel and grill openings became "tighter."
- For 1984-'85, no fender scripts or badges appeared on the fenders.

Thanks Chris. The Neo Biarritz is definitely a 1979.The script is behind the front wheel and over the drivers side chrome trim. I noticed on the 1980 that the script is below the chrome trim. It appears that the 1981 rectangular badge location was not changed for 1982 and 1983.
