Few objects, let alone automobiles, represent the prosperity of the
post-war era with more flash than the 1957-58 Cadillac Eldorado
Brougham. At over $13,000 new, it was a massive, tech-laden show
car available in showrooms. Its GM Motorama-derived features
included suicide-style doors, a stainless steel roof, and the
world's first air suspension. With an equipment list that reads
like a luxury car today, it lacks nothing: dual heaters, a
power-adjustable front seat, automatic head lamps, a power
trunklid, and even polarized sun visors were included.
The Cadillac Eldorado Brougham's exceptional level of opulence
remains immediately visible in the first year example offered here.
Finished in blue-gray with correct hubcaps and thin whitewall
tires, it is truly eye-catching. The two-tone grey interior
exhibits limited signs of use and it remains fitted with luxurious
features including the Autronic Eye, which automatically dims the
high beams.
