Hi,

I was at the Stowe Vermont car show yesterday -- was supposed to judge but my class had four no-shows.

I talked to the owner of a magnificent low mileage (13,000 I think) 1978 Custom Biarritz Classic. Here is the description from Wikipedia:
The 1978 Biarritz option packages consisted of the Eldorado Custom Biarritz ($1,865.00); w/Astroroof ($2,946.00); w/Sunroof ($2,746.00) and Eldorado Custom Biarritz Classic ($2,466.00); w/Astroroof ($3,547.00); w/Sunroof ($3,347.00).

For the 1978 Eldorado model year only, 2,000 Eldorado Custom Biarritz Classics were produced in Two-Tone Arizona Beige/Demitasse Brown consisting of 1,499 with no Astroroofs or no Sunroofs; 475 with Astroroofs; 25 with Sunroofs and one (1) was produced with a Power Sliding T-Top.[45] Only nine of the latter are known to have been retrofitted by the American Sunroof Company under the direction of General Motors' Cadillac Motor Division.


The model at Stowe did not have an Astroroof or Sunroof.  I've attached a photo of the interior. This is a truly stunning car and owner will sell although I don't know his price.
