GM's most memorable designs, the Series 70 Eldorado Brougham.
Announced in December 1956 and released around March 1957, the
Eldorado Brougham was a hand-built, limited car derived from the
Park Avenue and Orleans show cars of 1953-54. Designed by Ed
Glowacke, it featured the first appearance of quad headlights and
totally unique trim. The exterior ornamentation included wide,
ribbed lower rear quarter beauty panels extending along the rocker
sills and rectangular sculptured side body "cove" highlighted with
five horizontal wind splits on the rear doors. Tail styling
treatments followed the Eldorado pattern. This four-door hardtop
with rear-hinged rear doors was an ultra-luxury car that cost an
astonishing $13,074-twice the price of any other 1957 Eldorado and
more than the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud of the same year. It
featured a stainless steel roof, self leveling air suspension, the
first automatic two-position "memory" power seats, a dual
four-barrel V-8, low-profile tires with thin white-walls, automatic
trunk opener, cruise control, high-pressure cooling system,
