Not only was the company the largest automaker in the world, it was also the biggest and one of the most influential corporations of any kind. GM had a swagger about it, a swagger that was backed up by an ambitious and comprehensive product line that offered something for every member of the car-buying public.
With a market share that annually approached 50 percent (and at least once crested that mark in the Sixties), GM easily bested second-place Ford and pretty much dwarfed everybody else. To achieve that sort of dominance, GM had to produce something that suited and appealed to virtually every conceivable kind of buyer, from the compact Chevrolet Corvair for budget-minded shoppers, to premium automobiles for those of serious means. GM’s status and immense revenues at the top of the heap allowed it to invest heavily in product, at a time before badge engineering took over from actual engineering. While the man on the street often thought of Chevy competing with Ford, the folks inside Chevy were often looking to Oldsmobile or Pontiac, possibly even Buick, as competitors, each division with its own powerplants, some with their own transmissions, as well. The quality and ingenuity showed through, too, as an Oldsmobile 98 and Buick Electra might have been built on the same C-body platform, but each model felt and looked different, and had entirely different running gear.
Historical records show that in 1960, General Motors built and sold 3,171,528 new vehicles in the United States, which represented a market share of 44 percent. If you found yourself at the top of that market, GM’s luxury division at Cadillac was abundantly ready to serve you. Cadillac found customers for some 142,184 cars in 1960, more than five times as many as Lincoln. Cadillac’s most stylish and luxurious models were in the Eldorado line that year. Available as the Seville, a two-door hardtop coupe; the Brougham, an ultra-rare Italian-made sedan; and the Biarritz, a convertible almost 19 feet long, they were the absolute pinnacle of lavishness for the privileged buyers who could afford them. That wasn’t easy, as the car’s extravagance was matched only by its exclusivity. Consider this: In 1960, when a buck still meant something, an Eldorado Biarritz listed for $7,401, among the highest of any American production car, and certainly for any convertible. By way of perspective, it outpriced its nearest competitor from Lincoln by $1,399. (But it should also be mentioned that the Pininfarina-bodied Brougham, of which a mere 101 were built, started at $13,075, and you had to ask real nice to get one.) It’s little surprise, then, that only 1,285 of these enormous, exquisitely finished convertibles were ever produced. What did your money buy you? When you ordered an Eldorado Biarritz, you got the very best in Cadillac assembly quality, absolutely premium interior materials, factory air conditioning, the futuristic Guide-Matic headlamp dimmer “eye” atop the dashboard, air suspension, a remote trunk lock and full power equipment, including the vent windows. It has been reported that the Cadillac-LaSalle Club estimates that only 200 to 250 of these Cadillac classics survive today.
