On "My Car Story" we're in the Suburbs of Chicago on 10-1-16.
We're looking at a 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Series 64 Convertible in Pompeian Red Paint ( the paint color looks like Burgundy ) and a Pearlescent Ivory stripe. The car has a V8 390 CI engine, and the Eldorado Biarritz has the triple two-barrel carburetors rather than the standard four barrel carburetor.
In 1960 Cadillac produced only 1285 Eldorado Biarritz Convertibles.
The car's Owners is Jim Rudnick. Jim shares he was interested in car as long as he can remember, and started drawing cars at the age of 9 and one of his drawings made a car magazine.
In 1960 at the age of 21, he stopped by a Cadillac Dealership showroom and there spinning on a turn table was a 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible and Jim shares, “it was jaw dropping” and he loved that model car. Jim finally found and purchased his 1960 in 1985.

That’s true passion. When a guy spends significant money and time to have his dream car. If you have Jay Leno money you can have pretty much any car you want and as many as you want. You can even hire people to find them for you. I’m not saying Jay Leno doesn’t have passion for cars. He clearly does but this guy made hard choices and probably did without other things to have this car. Maybe skipped a few lunches. It probably represents a percentage of his income far beyond the percentage that Jay Leno spent to have his Duesenberg or several other cars.

I found where they hid the gas cap, it's above the license plate behind a hidden door. If you stop the video at about 5:30 you can see where the chrome ribs start and stop. It holds 21 gallons, that ought to get you about 200 miles between fill ups. Thanks again

I remember a lot of men in my family back then, had two sizes of engine belts........one for winter and one for summer. The winter belt was smaller, just for engine use. The summer belt was larger for use with running the AC unit, so you didn't overtax the AC compressor, as they were expensive to repair. This is why you don't see the belt running over the AC compressor.

@@loucostabile, I'm in there buddy! I've enjoyed your channel for some time! I think it's very important for young people to get even just a glancing appreciation for the fact that American cars used to be a radically new design every year or so! For this service alone your channel is invaluable for these newer generations! You pull from diverse areas also which is entertaining and informative. 😊 You know, before the internet, the book emporium was about the only way to see most of what you're showing! It seemed to begin fading away as soon as it was produced, but now , wow huh!? We had Hemmings when we were young but most kids didn't. Dad would give them to me and I would pass them on to my friends after reading them from cover to cover. Lol Dad had so many of Floyd Clymer's publications too..

I love these cars, My dad owned a Cadillac dealership in ca. from 1956 to 1970. I got a 60 Eldorado biarritz used, for my birthday in 1970. it was dark arroyo tourquoise , white top, black leather, all options that were available. I know these cars inside and out. Your car is absolutely beautiful. I would be scared to take it out on the street ! Thanks for the video-

Was able to drive it a couple times, and was surprised how easy it was to drive, although the modern parking spot made for smaller cars was harder. Very beautiful car.
