This Eldorado Brougham is #476 out of 704. It began its life in
black (paint code 110) with light gray "Bayou" cloth and dark gray
leather (interior trim code 1301). It was originally delivered to
Southern California, and is believed to have been once owned by TV
personality Mary Tyler Moore. The car spent some time in Michigan,
but returned to California in 2001. In 2002-2003, the car underwent
a complete, professional, frame-off restoration by Harry Nicks of
Nicks Old Cars, Redlands, CA. At that time it was painted in Lake
Placid Blue, and the interior was redone in light gray and dark
grey leather. The car was also taken off of it's air ride, although
when is not certain. Since the restoration, it has been entered in
many shows and won 1st place in its class at the following Concours
d'Elegance events: Huntington Beach, Thousand Oaks and
Hillsborough. It was also awarded the "Most Elegant" prize at Palos
Verdes. Just last month it won Best of Class at the Cadillac &
LaSalle Club Grand National meet in Louisville, KY. Very recently a
$6000 investment was made to the car to add blue mouton carpeting.
This Eldorado Brougham starts easily, every time, and runs quietly
and beautifully, as the current owners maintained this vehicle
impeccably. Everything is reported to work with the exception of
the power seat. Also, the A/C works and is cold, but has weak
airflow. The photographs speak for the excellent condition of this
very special automobile, both inside and out. Additional photos can
be found on our website: www.codysclassiccars.com. Asking $199,500
- reasonable offers from serious, qualified buyers will be
considered. Please contact us for more information. Thank you for
your interest.
