The hand-built Eldorado Brougham first became available in 1957 and featured an array of amenities and features, largely justifying the $13,000 price. This 1958 Eldorado Brougham is one of only 304 built that year, and it retains its original leather seats, headliner and dash pad. Presented with a black body and interior, it’s equipped with the 365 CI V-8 engine and Hydra-Matic transmission and features power brakes with new hydraulics and power steering.
The penultimate expression of a luxury vehicle, the Eldorado Broughams came astronomically well equipped with air conditioning, power vent windows, tinted glass, a transistorized radio with a power antenna, self-leveling air suspension, two-position memory power seats, automatic trunk opener, cruise control, polarized sun visors, auto-release parking brake, a dual-zone heating system, Autronic Eye that dimmed the high beams for oncoming traffic, an electric clock, forged aluminum wheels and more.
The roof was brushed stainless steel, and buyers could choose from any number of interior and exterior color combinations to create an Eldorado Brougham that was uniquely their own; they could even choose Mouton, Karakul or lambskin carpeting. This Eldorado Brougham has covered only 24,000 believed-original miles from new and was featured in “Hemmings Classic Car” magazine in December 2017. Eldorado Broughams were each custom tailored to order, built by hand and inspected to the highest levels of scrutiny. Even the act of selling an Eldorado Brougham required training. The corporate edict was to produce absolute motoring perfection without room for excuse or error.
In the interest of keeping its clients’ interest, Cadillac issued letters announcing the upcoming Eldorado Brougham, quietly urging its loyal customers to patiently await the luxury car that would better all others. Slightly shrewd, the letters quite possibly retained sales that otherwise might likely have gone to the luxury competition.
