Amelia Island Concours Winner

[jaxgt]

Here are a few shots of this year's winner for most elegant Cadillac at the 2011 Amelia Island Concours D'Elegance. It's our 1958 Eldorado Biarritz. For those who haven't had the chance to attend the Concours - it's a fabulous event. The founder and director of the concours is a fellow GT owner too.

I love it! Congratulations. Any interior / engine shots?

Here is a shot of the interior. It has a few different shades of contrasting red - a nice touch. The car was one of the few originally delivered from GM directly to Europe. Has a speedo in km/hr. Neat feature.
Will look for a few engine shots.

Thank you for posting. I bet these photo's do not do the car justice. Was the car restored? Or is it a well preserved original? Would love to see a straight on shot of the instrument panel.

I'm a FMEL guy through and through, but I do have an appreciation for other makes both foreign and domestic of the late 50's.

Even better in person!

I am "into" Caddies--old and new. My grandmother had a 58. That one is beautiful. Congrats
