Restored 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz by the CPR Team

1959 Cadillacs are a favorite of the Cadillac Parts & Restoration (CPR) team and when a rare and highly-collectible Eldorado Biarritz rolls through the doors the excitement level rises. Only 1,320 of these prized models were made and far fewer exist today so their restoration presents challenges beyond those of a typical project.

Since the team's beginning in 1984 (FEN Enterprises) they've restored many 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz's and it's become a specialty of theirs. They have the craftmanship and model-specific knowledge required to correctly restore these cars so their owners can not only show the vehicle with pride but enjoy many miles of top-down cruising.

Considering a 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz restoration, give CPR a call at (845) 462-5959. They've had the same telephone number for over thirty years and will gladly speak to you about your project.

1961 Cadillac Restoration - recently completed

Since 1984, the Cadillac restoration experts of Cadillac Parts & Restoration have earned a reputation as the go-to restoration provider for owners of classic Cadillacs. So, it was no surprise than none other than the President of General Motors chose CPR to restore his 1961 Cadillac Series 62 convertible.

Rust, rot and plenty of miles on this classic took their toll and the car was in very rough condition when it arrived at CPR's new restoration facility. However, sentimental value won the day and the decision was made to move forward with a challenging and expensive project.

Over a year later, the results were well worth it as the customer loved the end product and the classic Cadillac won a First Place award in its class at the 2016 Cadillac & LaSalle Club Grand National Meet in Las Vegas.

Meet the Founder and President of Cadillac Parts & Restoration

From their days as FEN Enterprises, the Cadillac Parts & Restoration (CPR) team has developed a strong reputation within the classic car community and plenty of industry media outlets have taken notice.

Classic Car magazine, Hemmings Motor News and Old Cars Weekly are among the more prominent publications that have written articles about their restoration prowess. But its not just auto-related media that's taken note. Hudson Valley is a prominent culture and lifestyle magazine covering New York State's beautiful and historic Hudson Valley region.

Back when she ran FEN Enterprises, Elsa Mauer Nicodemus caught the attention of the Hudson Valley editors.  Of particular interest was her companies reputation for taking rusted relics and rebuilding them in to award-winning and museum-quality works of art.

They dispatched a writer and photographer to learn her story and the result was a beautifully-written article about her classic Cadillac restoration business.  They titled the article "The Cadillac Queen" and the moniker stuck.

Although years have passed since the publication and she now runs CPR, her reputation remains and she remains at the top of the male-dominated auto restoration industry.
