1958 Cadillac Brougham: Broughams are rare. But, matching number Broughams finished in their original color and trim are especially hard to find. This example is a treasurer for the collector of 50's icons.
This example is number 568. Its history is documented from new through the Cadillac LaSalle Data Base.
During 2014 – 2016 this example was down to bare metal restored in its original Ebony (#110) body color. During this period the last OEM bolts of the car's original Beige Mohave cloth seat panels (#4541) was found and used to refresh all the seating surfaces.
At the same time this Brougham was extensively gone through mechanically with the original engine and transmission rebuilt. This unit has also been electrically sorted with items like the fussy memory seat motors and actuators rebuilt . All other electrical components work as new as does the non-converted a/c. The underside is very clean and rust free.
The air suspension was modified to coil over shocks for a problem-free level ride. The air suspension components visible in the engine bay were kept in place for appearances. All the other air suspension components were boxed and have been kept for future owners and purists.
The only other modification has been to the power brakes. The current owner had an additional super-power brake booster added to enhance the ease of stopping this powerful and heavy icon.
All the above, and more, results in a stunning, very original, very authentic, unusually dependable, highly predictable, and thoroughly enjoyable show-driver with most vanities (see photos)
