A more distinguished-looking Biarritz arrived for 1963. The lower body „skeg“ lines of 1961-62 were erased on all Cadillacs, and wide brushed-finish rocker panel moldings gave the Biarritz closer kinship with the svelte Sixty Special.
Model Series 6400, the Eldorado Biarritz convertible, had special styling with untrimmed body sides, full-length stainless steel underscores and a rectangular grid pattern rear decorative grille. Fins were lower than ever, the grille was bulkier, and the rear was more massive, with elongated vertical tail/backup-light housings. Power vent windows, white sidewall tires and six-way power seats (in bench seat mode) were standard in Eldorados.
This 1:43 model Edorado Biarritz is probably the best model of serie Franklin Mint Classic Cars of the Sixties! Perfectly mastered proportions model, excellent interior details, perfect finish paint. The light metallic "Benton Blue" paint is truly excellent and tampos are sharp and readable.
Interior detail features accurate upholstery with a realistic sheen, wood-grain trim everywhere it should be, and detailed gauges, radio face, and an A/C panel. Even the relief-cast pedals have been picked out. Nice work, all around.
This model of large american cruiser finally led me to the decision to collect Franklin Mint 1:43 models.
