Was wondering if any one knew how many  1976 Eldorado convertibles with a biaritz package were produced that year.  Is the Eldo convertible with a biaritz package even "more rare" than the Bicentenial package.  Just Asking?????

There were no Biarritz packages made on the convertibles.   In fact, the 76 Biarritz hardtop that came out late in the year was done by ASC (American Sunroof Corporation) and did not even have the pillowed seats that were in the 77 and 78 Biarritz.

Interesting that the 1976 Biarritz had color keyed wheelcovers as well.

There may well be less Biarritz coupes than Bicentennial convertibles built in '76.

Will the moldings fit on the convertible? Any pictures of a convertible with them?

Starting at the "you bet" all those are 1978s, and quite beautiful, just sayin.  ;)
I would rather push an old Cadillac, than drive a new anything:-)

Oh ok, I remember seeing that picture awhile back. I was worried I wouldn't like the way it flowed up, but it works.

Now for some '76-78 Biarritz questions,
Are there production numbers?
What all is unique to them over the base Eldorados?
Are reproduction parts of those specific parts made?

The Biarritz package included the formal cabriolet roof with smaller rear window.   Special chrome trim on the hood, across the doors and up to the roof.   Unique accent striping,   colour-keyed wheelcovers and opera lamps.    The interior on thr 77 and 78s had the unique pillowed seats.   The late 76s did not have the pillowed seats.   

Then of course the final year of the big Eldorados had the Custom Biarritz Classic, with tu-toned paint and tu-toned interior.  Unfortunately only available in one colour combo.



I don't know of any reproduction parts being made other than the fender end caps.
