I had a 79 Eldorado. I was my grandfather's, mom's , then mine. I was in college and it became mine in 1989. I drove it ten years and then gave it to my sister in law. Well over 200,000 miles on it.

Did these have antilock brakes as an option? I know the Seville had a form of abs for the 1976 era Seville. Plus an early airbag system for the driver.
No. Both options were not popular, so GM discontinued both options, before the 1979 model year. 1975 or 1976 was the last year for both features. Not only did Cadillac have those features, but the Buick Electra 225 & Olds 98 also had those options.
Seville didn't offer an airbag, those were the big Cads, Olds, and Buicks from 1974-76. Also I don't recall an anti lock system either. They equipped them with four wheel disc brakes starting in 1977.

The '79 Biarritz was the only Biarritz in this gen and maybe of all Biarritzs to offer cloth seats and only in this color. Rare indeed.
the 79 -80 Eldorados are the best years, since they have the best engines . Great looking car My Parents had a Riviera of era
You could count 1981 too if you disconnected the cylinder deactivation and ran it as a V8 only

These were beautiful cars, and the 350 is a definite advantage over the later 4100.
368 maybe?
@@jhull7490 yes 368 ci … 6 litre
It's an Oldsmobile 350. The 368 wasn't used until 1980 in these cars.
@@kevineich5029Thanks. I have an 80 with a 368 6litre. I thought the 79's had an option for the 368?
No 368 option in '79. It was either the Olds 350 diesel or the Olds gasoline 350 with fuel injection.
I just bought a 1980 Biarritz full load. Looking forward to the project. Nice video by the wat...well done.
verry nice its like new good motor 350 eng no ht 4100 in 1979 thank god
368
@@jhull7490 1979 was a 350 cu in Olds engine like in the 1976-1979 Seville. The 368 cu in Cadillac engine came out in 1980.
Stunning car!!
I restored one just like it in 1999. Like a fool sold it for 2400 in 2001.
Mine same color but dark blue leather interior and had the desirable 350.
