Hello everyone! At the end of last summer I bought a 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz from my girlfriend's father for $600 cash. I didn't have much time to spend with her however, as I decided to store her in a garage we own a little ways away. I had decided that I would
park her for the winter and come spring time, I would take her out and do some necessary repairs and TLC to get her inspected and ready for some summer cruising :cool2:
I need some parts for it that I'm having some trouble finding. First of all, I need a hood
ornament. From what I can see in pictures, my Cadillac needs a silver hood ornament. Is
this correct? Where can I find them? I see quite a few on eBay but they're either gold, very expensive (over $100?!), or both. How much do they typically go for? Are those actually fair prices? I've looked around local junkyards but the hood ornaments are usually gone. Is there a specific base shape I need to be looking for as well?
There's also a rip in the driver's seat. Any idea where I can find seats for these? I can't even find them on eBay. Or is there an easier alternative-such as someone who can repair seats? I'm also looking for rear tail light covers. I can't recall off the top of my head if they're both cracked or only one.
Are there any tips you knowledgeable Cadillac owners can impart on me? I hope to hear from all of you soon and hope to become a part of this community!
