      I'll tell you a sad story. Around 1968 I was riding with my mom in her '57 Chrysler Saratoga. We saw a little sports car with huge tail fins and pulled over to talk to the owner.
      I told him I had never seen such a car and wanted to know what it was.
      He told me it was an Alpha Romeo. He found and old Cadillac in a junkyard, cut the fins off and welded them on to the Alpha.
      Even at the age of 14 years, I was horrified.

      I can tell you, at 55 years old, being raised in the midwest, you have absolutely no idea what it's like to grow up here. Even coming here and becoming a citizen later, there's no comparison. Knowing every night you go to bed and every morning you wake up, you were born in this country, and you're actually here, is a blessing that's nearly indescribable. And these cars are a tangible reminder of that experience.

      I was born in May '57, when all 5 GM divisions were close to completion on the "crash re-do" of their '59 cars after it was determined (in the Summer of '56), the facelifted '58s would not work at all upon seeing the sleek and finned '57s from Chrysler. It was already too late to change the '58s, but there was time to re-do the '59s, which the designers finished in the nick of time.

      @@viciouspoodle5543 I'm a bit kinder to the '61 Cadillac, and really like the '61 Pontiac and Buick. The Chevy was clever in transitioning away from the horizontal fins of '58-'60 retaining the branching-out style, but with a ridge that wrapped around to the sides. The only one I didn't like (except for the Starfire) that year was the Oldsmobile. I didn't care for the '60 Olds either. It wasn't ugly, but was plain and boring. It also had NO hood or fender ornament at all. Fortunately it did return again for another several years.

    When I was a teenager, I dreamed of owning one of these, in silver, inspired by a Cadillac ad. To me it was the ultimate 50s car. I would have kept it at the beach in my ocean front beach house and would have driven it while there on vacation. Hey, when you dream, dream big. That big dream never came true, but it's still nice to recall it when I see this car. So thanks, Lou, for showing us this stunning Eldorado Biarritz.

    One of the true industrial icons of the 20th century. For many years the '59 Cadillacs were treated like the outrageous exemplification of mid-century American excess and bad taste - but today we admire them as amongst the most wonderful examples of American creativity and artistry. They Biarritz model was the top-of-the-line variant - and what a beautiful thing it is.

    'Special Interest Autos', a branch of Hemmings, did an article on a white one of these a few decades ago and also said 99 bucket seat models were made. They were supposed to be less comfortable than the bench seat models, because they did not tilt, and sat abnormally close to the floor. This forced peoples' legs straight out in front. I've always wondered whether it was possible to replace the flimsy plastic back window with some form of glass one. Beautiful example.

    This is truly a beautiful car. I have a 1965 Cadillac DeVille convertible and just recently bought a 1961 Cadillac DeVille convertible. That one has the fins but the 65 doesn't. I'm looking forward to driving that 61 around this summer. There's nothing that gets a car more attention than the fins and Cadillac did it every time.

    Ahoy big bro Lou! WOW. First off-could you picture me knocked out 😵, sans floppy sneakers (blown off) and slung over one of those rear fins, man? My white tube socked stocking lightweight JV baseball jock calves 'n feet limply dangling? How's that for a JV Johnny branding, Lou? Then from the fin to over a guy's shoulder 🤣🤪. This Cadillac is outrageous and completely in your face. The oily black paint and top indeed make it look like the Grim Reaper's steed, but that just adds to it's awesomeness. As it "accelerated" it just went forward, like a somewhat cumbersome land barge, in no rush to go anywhere lol 😜, but happy to have folks stare and wave. A great piece of post War American history right there, Lou. Thanks big bro! JV Johnny ⚾⚾😵

    Another beauty from a world-class collection. Cars and their designs have certainly changed from America's Golden Age era of vehicles. What once were annual redesigns to get customers to constantly trade in their vehicles for a new model (likely still a manufacturer's goal), the emphasis now is to keep costs down and have a global platform for many models/crossovers. Of course safety/emissions standards also played a role. Some stunning designs at that time even for cars that were attainable. There are some beautiful cars today but mostly exotic sports cars that are priced accordingly. Would love to see some examples of the the 30's Caddy's mentioned in the vid. Thanks Steve for sharing your stellar collection and Lou for taking us along for the ride.
