Default '58 Eldorado Brougham

Hard to top this.

I worked in the Cadillac Design Studio for a few years and we still talked about this car as an example of what could be done when you unite the organization to develop a true halo vehicle and empower the team to do whatever it takes to make it the best in the world. That's getting harder to do these days, but still possible with the right leadership.

I like the two door 57 Eldo Seville and Eldo Biarritz better. Just a bit cleaner on the lines.

Passed up a solid 57 Seville about 20 years ago at $4500. Probably should have pulled the trigger. But then my memory is littered with about 100 cars I SHOULD have purchased for the money; all of the ones that have escalated something fierce.

----Bought one out of a Ft. Liquerdale back yard in the early 70's. Had no idea what I was doing. Bumpers are cast aluminum chrome plated. The one I bought basically only had the chrome plating left. Aluminum was mostly gone. Air suspension was wasted and it ran really poorly. I sold it as I had no idea how to fix any of it and no money to do it anyway...….Bill S

I have a nice 1/18 version of the exact car for sale. Same colors, etc. Larry Watson, the SoCal painter, did one up back in about 1960.

----Its funny, Tony, but the interior of that Caddy was in pretty good condition compared to the outside. The only damage in there was the "mouse fur" carpeting. I was so dumb back then I didn't even look at the underside. Of course it was lying down because the air suspension was totally shot, but I thought I could manage that. I was wrong!...….Bill S

My Father had a ‘57, so I learned about these coach/hand built Caddy’s very early on. Very historically significant Milestone Cars with many industry leading enhancements and options.

It has been reported that GM lost approx $10,000.00 on each one sold and that was a bunch in 1957.

Maissano went to check one out in Long Beach and yes I should have picked that one up.

I still have a set of the original Vanities which belonged to Dad’s car, as it was burned/totaled in a shop fire.
