Description

This premium Cadillac Brougham is number 63 of 400 built in 1957. In the late 1970s, a man in Illinois purchased it. The car arrived in Sweden in 1997 and has been utilised there since.  The current owner bought the Cadillac in 2015 and has only driven it a few times since then.
The car has been upgraded from air suspension to coil springs. Even some model-specific equipment remains, such as three shot glasses (should be six), a paper napkin holder, and a mirror in the glove compartment. The electrically powered tailgate is functional. It opens and closes correctly and is controlled by buttons located in the glove compartment. The front seat is likewise powered by electricity and includes a memory function. The engine and transmission of the car function properly. The exterior is in good shape, however the interior is slightly worn (see photographs). The brushed stainless steel roof on this particular model set it apart. Celebrities and movie stars were frequent owners of these cars. The AC pump is installed but turned off. It includes a new exhaust system as well as other spare parts. Receipts and other forms of documentation are provided.

Facts about the model

Cadillac återkom på marknaden för ultralyxbilar för första gången sedan slutet av V-16-eran med sin fantastiska Eldorado Brougham av 1957 års modell. Denna begränsade upplaga av en komplex, dyr, b-stolpslös, fyradörrars hardtop var produktionsversionen av 1955 års showbil. Den var även Cadillacs svar på Fords Continental Mark II. Standardutrustningen bestod bland annat av luftfjädring, ett tak av borstat rostfritt stål, kromade stötfångare av aluminium och framsäte (soffa) med minnesfunktion.
Bilen var utrustad med en 325 hästarsversion av Cadillacs 365 kubiktums V8-motor.
Hjulbasen var 126 tum och Brougham byggdes på en chassiram av X-typ som alla andra Cadillacs från 1957. Priset var högt för denna bil som 1957 kostade svindlande 13 074 dollar i USA.
En ny Rolls Royce kostade vid samma tidpunkt cirka 9 000 dollar.
Stylingen bestod bland annat av omfattande användning av rostfritt stål, inklusive takpanelen. Endast 400 av dessa bilar tillverkades 1957 och de var praktiskt taget handbyggda. Denna bil förblev i produktion med smärre mekaniska ändringar fram till och med 1958 års modell.
