1960 Cadillac Series 64 Eldorado Biarritz
Style 6467, only 1285 units built

Photo taken in Portland Oregon, after we had a new
(white) convertible top installed (original was black)

This is the view that greeted us when we unlocked and opened
the shipping container at the port of Antwerp, in Belgium
[ laying across the rear deck is a new windshield ]

This is the interior of the trunk of this "totally rust free" car
(after we removed the trunk liner); through the holes in the
body you can see the white sheet we laid under the car.

Was I going to ship it back to Portland, Oregon, just for THAT "minor inconvenience"?

Non-original wreath and crest on rear fenders
[ these were correct on 1963 and 1964 models ]

The "before"  picture

   
The "during" pictures
(Left) not visible in this low-resolution image, the former holes for the lateral fender spear
of a regular Series 62 or de Ville model; also barely visible, the new metal welded
above the rear wheel well - obviously the car had been in a collision or was rusted through

According to the body tag, the car originally had the rare, bucket seats; obviously, someone removed them and replaced
them with a vinyl-covered bench seat from another model (not even a Cadillac) before I bought the car; the leather on
the rear seat had no tears and only minor cracking, but the pleats were "flattened" and brittle to the touch (left); new
leather in the correct texture and design was used to cover the seats, front and rear (right)

   
(Left) on stripping the car for paint and removing the inner door panels,
we discovered the car's original color: Siena Rose (code #98);
(Right) the original door panels were saved; only the armrest was restored

The restored dash pad and instrument panel

   
The "after" pictures
The newly restored Pink Lady in all her splendor
Note the absence of the hard boot cover
That will be for someone else to purchase !
