The 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham is a hand-built, Limited-Edition (only 400 built in 1957- only 704 built total between 57 & 58!) four-door hardtop sedan with the Suicide Doors Feature (for additional comfort with easy ingress and egress). The Brougham featured Americas first completely pillarless four-door body styling. The ventipanes were electrically controlled. The Brougham was further distinguished by a brushed stainless steel roof, the first appearance of quad headlights, totally unique trim and the first full-fledged fins that would grow enormously in future models. Each feature of the Brougham, as the car itself, was designed to improve comfort, safety and convenience for the driver and passengers. The car came with an extensive array of options and equipment. The 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham has often been compared to the 1956-1957 Continental Mark II. It has even been said that the Brougham was GMs response to Fords second-generation Continental.
This ultra-luxury car retailed in 1957 for an astonishing price of $13,074. Twice the price of any other 1957 Eldorado and more than the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud of the same year.

It is one of only 5 57s produced with the very seldom seen Trim Code 444: Beige Plain Broadcloth with Beige Leather upholstery. This is a one-of color combination with the Mouton lambskin carpeting [in 1957, two other Broughams had the beige trim with mouton carpeting: #175 and #268; however, it is indeed the sole BLACK Brougham with said trim and carpets].
