CENTRAL VA REGION LIAISON NEWSLETTER COLUMNIST STEVEN SISSON Vince Taliano Cadillac & LaSalle Club Potomac Region Caddie Chronicle April 2010 LETTER TO THE EDITOR February 27, 2010 Vince, I recently discovered that my 1962 Eldorado Biarritz was delivered new to Capitol Cadillac in Washington, DC. I was able to trace the delivery location based on the Outlet Code that appears on some original paperwork. Specifically, Outlet Code 420313 was used for Capitol Cadillac. The Eldorado Biarritz was part of the Eldorado Extravaganza that was held in 2006 at Capitol Cadillac and included in the February 2007 article on the show that appeared in Hemmings Classic Car (see below).
