1978 would be the final year for the full-sized Cadillac Eldorado. Demand for more fuel-efficient vehicles led General Motors to downsize most of its line for 1977, and that left just two of its personal luxury models--the Oldsmobile Toronado and the Cadillac Eldorado--to be downsized. (Buick's Riviera was restyled in 1977 and became a mid-sized car.) New smaller versions of the Toronado and Eldorado would happen for the 1979 model year, which meant 1978 would be the final opportunity to buy a new full-sized car from GM.For the 1978 model year, Cadillac initially offered three Eldorado models: the Coupe, the Cabriolet, and the Custom Biarritz. To commemorate the final full-size Eldorado, Cadillac Division introduced the Custom Biarritz Classic very late in the model year. The Custom Biarritz Classic was identical to the Custom Biarritz, with the exception of duo-tone pillowed leather interior in Light Beige and Dark Saddle, Dark Beige Leather steering wheel jacket, duo-tone exterior finish in Arizona Beige with Demitasse Brown Metallic accent on hood, doors, and roof, Dark Brown accent striping, and gold-plated "Biarritz" script on the sail panel and deck lid.The 1978 Eldorado in base trim had a wheelbase of 126.3 inches, weighed 4,906 pounds, and had an overall width of 224.1 inches. Truly, a significant automobile. Power was provided by a 425 cubic inch V-8 engine with a compression ratio of 8.2:1 and a horsepower rating of 180 at 4,000 rpm. Driven carefully, this car can get double digit fuel mileage in town, and in the mid-teens on the highway. Cadillac built 46,816 Eldorados for 1978, and 2,000 of them were the Custom Biarritz Classic model.1978 Cadillac Fleetwood EldoradoCustom Biarritz ClassicA special edition designed for the discriminating buyerCadillac Eldorado Custom Biarritz ClassicAvailability: 1978 onlyProduction: 2,0001,499 without Astroroof475 with Astroroof25 with Sunroof3 with Power T-Tops (2 verified; 1 unconfirmed)Dealer announcement: April 11, 1978Build dates: April-July, 1978Introduction: May, 1978Accessory code: YP6Sales code: BOption cost: $2,466$3,347 with Sunroof option$3,547 with Astroroof optionPaint codes: 62 - Arizona Beige and 64 - Demitasse Brown MetallicVinyl Roof code: T - Light BeigeInterior Trim code: 644 - Light Beige and Dark Saddle Leather
