Car: Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible
Year: 1958
What makes it special: The 1956-1958 Cadillac Series Sixty-Two Eldorado Biarritz was one of the revised editions of the Eldorado convertible that didn’t sell particularly well. Biarritz designation was new because there was now also a companion hardtop, the Seville.
What made it famous: Cadillac’s 331 V8 was bored out to 365 cubes, with a special tuned version reserved for Eldorado’s: Twin 4-barrel carbs for 1956-57, and triple two-throat units for 1958. The 1956-57 models were once considered the last highly collectible Eldorado convertibles through 1971. But the ’58 version, a chrome-plated monster, and the ’59, which took tailfins to a new level are highly sought out now, particularly the ’59. The had a unique rear-end appearance and luxurious interiors.
Why I would want one: Those rear fins, and loads of chrome.
Fun fact: These are pretty rare to find.

Car: Mercury Comet Cyclone GT 390 Hardtop Coupe
Year: 1966
What makes it special: Mercury’s Comet went from its previous compact status to intermediate beginning with the 1966 model year, and shared it’s shell with the new Ford Fairlane. For those who wanted muscle with a few more creature comforts, the Mercury Comet Cyclone GT was just what they needed.
What made it famous: The Cyclone GT was no poser. Under the hood was Ford’s 335hp, 390 cu in High Performance V8 with a 4-barrel Holley carburetor. It had a 10.5:1 compression ratio, a standard three-speed manual or optional 4-speed manual and even a C-6 Merc-O-Matic three-speed automatic transmission was available. A 3.25:1 ratio rear was standard, with 3.00:1, 3.50:1, 3.89:1 and 4:11.1 gear ratios as options. A heavy-duty suspension with stiffer spring and shock damping rates, larger sway bar kept the GT stable for hard cornering. Sport stripes, badging, an engine dress-up kit of a chrome air cleaner and valve covers, and optional wheels and wheel covers were also available for 1966.
Why I would want one: I have been a fan of the Mercury Comet and it’s performance built Cyclone GT for years. It’s on my “bucket list to own” in the Top 10.
Fun fact: The Mercury Comet Cyclone GT was about $100 more than the Ford Fairlane GT.
