The tail fins feature prominently on this 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible. In general, I prefer shooting cars outdoors, but the pattern made by the rows of fluorescent light fixtures reflected in the glossy black of this car really got me jazzed.

WARNING: INCOMING CAR-NERD TRIVIA -- Do Not Read
The Cadillac Eldorado was introduced in 1953 as a limited-edition, high-zoot convertible. 532 of them were basically hand-built before Cadillac integrated the Eldorado into the regular model lineup in 1954.
In 1956, a hardtop coupe joined the convertible in the Eldorado lineup, so to distinguish the two, Cadillac named the new '56 Hardtop the Eldorado Seville, and the existing convertible the Eldorado Biarritz. Cadillac was fond of giving their cars French or Spanish names.
