I have an 84. I absolutely love it. Love taking it out on nice days and just taking a drive. 80s was a hell of a time for cars.

Thanks for the videos Bill. You’re one of few channels that shows these beautiful older cars in depth with good video quality. The humor in the videos is great too.

My dad had a 1971 Eldorado. I have had a soft sport for them ever since.

Imagine how great it would look if that luggage rack never showed up to be installed 🤔💡🙏

My first car was an 1984 Eldorado. Bought it while I was in the Navy in '92...very fond memories. Probably the best car I ever had and also had the pleasure of driving it from Washington State to Kentucky my home state

I have a 1978, Eldorado Biarritz, 18 feet long, power everything and I love it! Pillows for seats, Gorgeous car!!

The condition of this vehicle is impressive. I've seen 3 year old cars with a white interior that already look like shit.

Lol I always love how he says things to make me laugh or chuckle. Makes watching his videos worth while as seeing nice cars like this.

My dream car. Absolutely gorgeous and a timeless classic

My dad has a '83 also, bought it brand new back then, Biarrritz with the continental wheel on the back. He still has it. The seats were not plush enough and you always felt like you were going to slide off of them. But it was a first class ride. Very beautiful.

I think this body style is one of the nicest Eldorado's. The taillights are killer

Thank you again Bill!! I am almost 51 and these cars were my youth! Great car full of what is lacking in vehicles today; PERSONALITY!!!! Keep doing what you do please.

Hands down the best looking vehicle of the 80’s. Also, last of the real Cadillacs before the downsizing and euro chasing efforts.

This is my all-time favorite Cadillac. When I was a young boy in the 1980's, a buddy of mine's parents had an '83 Biarritz identical to this one, except the exterior was turquoise, and it had a white vinyl top. I remember being completely ENAMORED by this car, and always dreamed of having one someday. In those days, when you had a Cadillac, it showed that you had mastered adulthood. Other than that HEAVENLY seatbelt chime when you first turn the car on that signifies your "arrival to opulence," my favorite feature of this car was the little green light in the Information Center on the dash that came on to inform you that the rear suspension was "LEVELING." To me at that time, that was totally WOW FACTOR. While the car was immaculate, and extremely comfortable to ride in, I remember my friend's mom telling my mom that she thought the car was demonically possessed because it was a complete maintenance nightmare from the first day they drove it home from the dealership. She was always afraid to drive it anywhere because she never knew if the car would start. If it did start, you never knew if the transmission was going to shit the bed and leave you stranded on the expressway, or some part of the electronics was going to begin sparking and starting a small fire inside the cabin or what. Being fascinated with all the buttons and switches, of course, I would always have to roll the window down and back up just one time so I could get my fix in. I remember her asking me one time not to do that anymore. She said the rule in that car was to only operate the windows IF you absolutely needed to because the fear was it would cause either an electrical short or some sort of mechanical failure that would cause the window to stop working. The power antenna went crazy and had to be permanently disconnected, and all the digital instrumentation in the middle of the dash blinked like it was having a seizure. My favorite story about the car involved the family driving down their hill when suddenly the brakes completely failed (likely the booster), and mom having to jump the curb in order to avoid crashing into an on-coming vehicle. It was a fairly new car at that time, but oh what a nightmare. Maintenance fiascos regardless, it was all part and parcel of the Cadillac "mystique" for me and made me want the car even more.

Keep these 80’s classics coming please, brings back so many memories, this channel is great, keep it up Bill!

That brings back memories. When I was a growing up, our neighbor had a 1980 Biarritz. Gray on gray with the 368 cubic inch V8. It had Uniroyal Tiger Paws for tires. No snowstorm could stop that thing.

My dad bought one of these new in 83.. Complete with the Rolls grille..silver blue, with all the chrome, darkish blue leather interior.. He loved that car!! What I'd give to see him and his baby driving into the driveway, complete with a Members Only jacket, and Ferrari sunglasses.. Miss him everyday, and he's been gone since 1991. Thanks, Bill.. Cheers!

The Eldorado became my favorite car when I was 16 working at a carwash, the local Cadillac dealer would drive one through the wash every time they sold one back in 1975. I was in love. Great video, you really got me laughing!

Robert De niro with his gold necklaces and chunky gold rings is the definition of this car. For me, I'll take a fleetwood 👍

One of the most beautiful American car designs ever.

I look at that car and can taste the roast beef sandwich and cigar smoke.

Bill. Apologizing is not like you. This Eldorado is period CORRECT. Anybody driving at the time would recognize Eldorado as the great American luxury coupe. They even made a convertible and it was fantastic.

No, no, no, Bill! You won't get any hate from me! Nothing but admiration for this great American classic! Wish I had the room in the garage.

How can any body hate on this car? Beautiful. Magnificent and thank you for all the history and what you do. Great review as always, please keep doing what you go, you are one of the best reviewers kn internet today, absolute treasure of a reviewer.

I found myself drooling about 2 minutes in. Hands down my favorite so far. After watching I had to get my blinged out 82 Seville elegante out and go for a drive. If I wasn't concerned about what a divorce would do to my net worth I'd have this in my garage between the seville and my mint 92 500sl. Absolutely beautiful car. Love the stainless roof. You have impeccable taste my friend.

I love the white seats and the light interior. This is truly a beautiful car.

I LOVE '70s and SOME '80s Cadillacs, and this one is no exception, LOVE that interior! Would love to see a review of a '75 Sedan de Ville.. my dream car. Have loved those since I was 15 back in 1975!

This is one hell of a sharp looking car, always appreciated this style. 1983 was a great year, I was 20 years old when this car was brand new!!👍

This cadillac is a classic, had the exact same one as a first car, same color, biarritz package, weak 4.1 v8 rode like a cloud front seat like a living room sofa, never failed to start up, keep up the good work bill

I love when you do the oddball '70s-'80s luxo cars. They were THE shit in their day. The HT 'High Technology' 4100 is: aluminum block, iron heads, aluminum intake with (if I'm remembering correctly) separate iron cylinders as well as a 'bolt in' iron lifter valley and camshaft bearing bores. The wildly different heating and cooling expansion rates of all the different metal alloys resulted in an alarming amount of engine failures. The various seals used at the time in the construction of the engine had not caught up with Cadillacs' 'High Technology', and as the owners of these cars, used to rolling down the highways at 85mph in air conditioned isolation, never once having the need to ever lift the hood on their former Cadillac's with their bulletproof big blocks would often find themselves on the side of the road after the coolant and oil had been thoroughly mixed into a brownish milkshake; engine destroyed. The 'HT' had a well earned nickname; 'Hand Tightened'. If you DID manage to get an HT4100 that WAS correctly screwed together at the factory (and this gorgeous Eldorado seems to be a 'good one'), they were largely bulletproof, silent (unless pushed hard) and ran SO smoothly you factually COULD balance a nickel on a running engine (I actually did it once). ONE FUNNY THING I THINK YOU MISSED BILL, and I think if you noticed, this review may have been 15 minutes longer and a bit more entertaining, lol, given your views on south Florida "culture". Song playing on the radio was EC- "talcum powder". 1960s, 70s and I believe this car as well; Cadillacs' in the day.., the passenger side sun visor 'vanity mirror' was ALWAYS a huge piece of real thick, heavy, mirrored plate glass with lovely smooth rounded edges and corners. A flat heavy mirror, frameless because a frame would allow something of value, for example a finely crushed expensive white powder-like substance to become 'lost' or 'trapped' under a frame. These 'vanity mirrors' are (or were) designed to be easily removable. They are secured to the visor with two clothing industry style metal 'snaps', one on each end. Give it a look, a firm but gentle hand on each end is all it takes to 'pop' them out. The running joke was that Cadillacs' designers and engineers of course, knew full well the clientele they were aiming for, haha. Good stuff Bill, thx.

I had an '81 Biarritz with the digital dash, baby blue with midnight blue interior. Miss that car.

I love the Rolls Royce Grill!!! This is a very cool Biarritz!! 👍

To me, there was no better looking large car from 1979-1985. Back then, I always turned my head to following a passing one, on the rare occasion I turn my head today. Thanks for posting.

Beautiful Eldorado Bill. I love this year Cadillac. Just beautiful design. There's nothing else like it...

Beautiful car, great shape. These things were some of the best back in the day. Big luxury coupes are some of my favorite car style

Biarritz is a beautiful historic town on the French South West coast with magnificent views of the Atlantic Ocean and it is a 2 hour drive away from the Cadillac Chateau were it probably all started :-)

Nobody - and I mean NOBODY did square better than the Biarritz guys in 1983 - SEXY and MUSCULAR but CLASSY

In 1983, my parents bought a Volvo Diesel, compared to this Barcalounger-On-Wheel's interior Volvo was absolutely austere. The 244 Diesel had low horsepower but you could pull a 300 year old oak tree out of the ground with it. Very economical to maintain and averaged 30 miles per gallon. Great job on the videos of a time long gone Bill!

A beautiful car. I always have loved that body style.

The perfect car for a Las Vegas food and beverage manager.

That trunk is beautiful. And wow, a moonroof inside a stainless roof. Thats high class right there.

Let em hate... That grill is AMAZING!

I'm not a big GM guy but these cars are gorgeous!! To the point that I have actively looked for one!

Years ago, I had an 85. Mine was Teal with White interior. Even my mother and aunt loved it. ;)

Wow, what a car. I don't think I knew about the stainless steel hard top option. Very nice time capsule.

I had the 1979 Toronado. Still packing the blue block 350 so it was the best year. That and front wheel drive strong enough to be a motorhome, NEVER got stuck in the snow or anywhere. And a back seat that adults could be in. One of my favourites

I have an 85 eldorado. Love it! It’s such a smooth ride it’s like driving a living room couch around 😂

Hey Bill. The '83 Eldorado is a nice old girl. I like your presentations on the vehicles with the history of names, trim packages, etc. Keep the cars and info coming.

A gorgeous car If you want to stand out in amongst all the mundane and boring cars on the roads today buy this car . Thanks for the excellent history and presentation on this beautiful vehicle Bill 👍😎

Great video as always, Bill. I hear you about nature. Heat, humidity, blinding sunshine, threatening wildlife etc. We don't deal with menacing weather patterns here in Southern Ontario but where I live, right beside the lake, gnats and spiders galore --constantly removing spider webs and basically trying to keep ahead of nature, all of it is really quite a challenge. I really appreciate your humour and humanity, as well as your love of the lost American cars. Thank you!

I once had 3 of those...love those cars... still looks great

Nicely narrated with lots of interesting historical info. This car really reflects the continuous demise of the American luxury car. Shrunken down from the 78 model, this version offered nothing more than the overstuffed crests, badges, chrome, and all the superficial nothings that fooled less & less customers who could choose among the foreign luxury makes.

My Italian father use to call these, *"Italian Canoes"* lol! Even though, to us 'Old Timers' at least, this is a downsized car, it's still an Awesome ride! Thanks, Bill!

My grandfather owned this model, and he loved it. I learned to drive in it. This early 80's Eldorado will always be very special to me, despite American luxury cars of the time period being very lack luster.

These cars are gorgeous. They represent an era of decadence and living well along with being very Reaganesque. I really enjoyed your comments. I grew up in that same era and love these cars. Plate C

I love it Bill, very classy. I own a 2005 Lincoln Towncar. Bill you are the greatest vehicle dealer I’ve ever seen. I can’t call you a car salesman, you deserve a much better title. I live In Vero Beach, I will meet you someday. Great job as always.

Bill you are the best! Love to hear you describe any car, you say what you feel. By the way the car is beautiful.

Big Boy Toy Back in the day! This & The '82 C3 Vet to compliment, you owned the neighborhood for sure!

Best car show on KZfaq

This is a car I could really enjoy.

Count me among the "nice, supportive" responders. Nothing to hate! People don't have to buy it, but can appreciate its rare example of a representative place in auto history - dealer-installed grille included.

What a gorgeous Cadillac with the chrome and over the top interiors! Back in the 80's that was a powerful status symbol.

What a beautiful car!

I love the ElDorado, if I bought that one I would remove the rack and install a toilet seat and chrome straps on the trunk 👍

Loving the uploads 👍

11:11 If I'm remembering correctly, when these came out for '79, GM marketed them as "4 passenger" cars, though that one seems to have 3 seatbelts in the rear. With the independent suspension, it should have plenty of room for 3, but the seat cushions don't look particularly hospitable for a center passenger. Maybe GM sort of half admitted that people were going to put 3 back there no matter how they rated these cars. I love looking under the hood and seeing the transmission lying next to the engine; that layout was originally intended for a FWD version of the '61-'63 Olds F85, but when the public lost interest in innovative smaller cars, GM decided to upsize the power plant for the '66 Toronado and '67 Eldorado. That's quite an interesting old car, being third from the last year of that breed.

Nice, I had a diesel one of these... wish I still had it!

Wow Bill, you really find some Caddys that are real gems. Wouldn't mind owning any of these. Thanks for the vid!!

Just driving one and looking across that hood at that Cadillac symbol is the coolest feeling. She carries fast and turns on a dime!

Great video as always, Bill! Really look forward to your weekly uploads as well as your honest descriptions. 👍

I had an 84 for a while. I was very impressed with the handling and ride. Much better than the 77 I had previously. Can't say the same for the HT4100. Went through 2 sets of intake manifold gaskets. I had oil leaking into the coolant towards the end when I think the oil pump crapped out. I took the radiator cap off when it was about 20F and the sludge was like tar. I was in the process of putting an Olds 350 from a 78 Delta 88 in it until I got the divorce papers. Never mind that, but the engine swap is easier that you would think. Just get a front engine mount from a 79-85 Toro or Riv that had a 307 in it. My 350 block was already threaded for the mount. Goes direct to the transaxle with no mods. Shame I never got to drive it. I had the block punched out .060 over, with valves that filled the entire combustion chamber.

I love that car! I've had 2 YEARS ago. The only thing that kills it for me is that someone desecrated it by putting an aftermarket radio in it!

Cadillac style, I'd like for people just see me ridin in that. That's a beautiful ride ❤ That's a Cadillac right there . I had a good friend long time ago that had one of this year .

Count me as a new subscriber. These videos are awesome! Thank you for keeping the memory of these cars alive.

Now, that is a good looking car.

Didn’t scroll through the comments, but those chrome levers under the dash overhang are to adjust the air flow from the AC vents. Another great video by Bill 👍🏻

I had the Touring Coupe version of this '83! Bought it in 1989 -- Was a beautiful car - all black, black trim, camel interior, bucket seats with a center console - custom wheels. Had an enamel badge on the hood. The Touring Coupe had the same HT4100 motor, but the suspension was tightened up and it drove really well.

Bill is becoming a Legend.

I'm just starting video but what a beauty this Cadillac Eldorado is & as I did in the 80's I like the wire wheel covers. I've just never been a fan of white interior though. These cars sounded so good just as the Brougham did. Al I can say is a lot nicer than the current Cadillac's in my opinion.

Great car if you happen to manage a shady casino as well! I still remember the beautiful shiny black no vinyl top one James Caan drove in "Thief" too.

all jokes aside, you've seemed pretty chipper yourself in the last few videos. makes me happy for you, bill! hope things are going well. hilarious video and beautiful vehicle as always!

Love your humor Bill....my favourite KZfaq channel! Priceless commentary! And gorgeous cars!!!!

Another great video, Bill !!!!! Keep em coming!! 👍

Love it Bill, very swanky 80's luxo-barge.

We need this back big time.

my boss at little caesars pizza put his caddy biarritz hubcaps in a dishwasher to keep em shiny.... he loved that car!!! great review kiddo!!

Beautiful color

I loved these as a kid. My neighbor down the street had one and was injured when someone tried to steal it in the 1980's. He was an ex-cop and was a black guy back when no one cared about race! Cool cars in my memory along with the Seville.

My mother had a 1983 Eldorado Biarritz, yellow on yellow. We called it the Banana Boat 🤣 I was too young to appreciate this car back then. It was mom’s first Caddi and she didn’t like it; went back to Lincoln’s.

Hahaha! Love it, Bill! It is what it is, and you have no reason to feel you need to defend the Eldorado Biarritz. The brushed stainless steel roof and the luggage rack look pretty nice actually. The luggage rack probably could be used to strap some sort of sports activity thing to, and yes, the gas tank filler behind the license plate! Love that, partly because you could go into a filling station and not worry about which side you pull up to the pump with. Makes a huge difference when you drive multiple vehicles.

Wow. What a well kept jewel. A beauty which has the early 1980’s “Scarface” vibe. Finally....yes Bill, everyone loves the Doobie Brothers....but not everyone loves NPR! :)

I love these 80’s boats! I wish I had one now to Cruze around in. Love to have it.

I absolutely love these cars. Unique and the ride!!! It's better than sitting in the house. You can drive it from Boston to Miami and not feel tired at all.

Love the passion you show for cars of this era. You always make the cars interesting even ones that I may not like. Hope you’re having a great day.

Bill I have been watching your videos for a few weeks now. You got yourself as new subscriber.

I love this car, I used to be a valet back in the early 80's and this was my favorite car, I love the chime of the doors. Those hubcaps were the best very difficult to remove and often were stolen.

Oooo! I like that this one's a Biarritz and I love that color! I don't mind the fake RR grille but I don't mind that it's the 4.1 V8, though.

Love these boats.

I love the sunroof ! I imagine a lot of Cadillacs didn’t come with them.

My dad had a black 79 Toronado with the big V8, loved that car
