As of April 20, 2025, this is the information we have about this car:
[Feb.01.2017] Car #502 soon will be in Switzerland. The following info was received from Austrian enthusiast Georg Pfeiffer: #502 is doing fine, see attached pictures. These were taken at the Classic Cadillac Club Germany's annual meeting in Bavaria one week ago [May, 2004]. The car used to be part of Robert Crone's collection of 10 (!) '53 Eldorados which he had purchased at an auction in the early 90s. The car then was sold to Reinhard Schultz who took home several trophies from the Zurzach- meeting in the following years. Two years ago Mr. Schultz was forced to sell the car to German Classic Cadillac dealer Ulrich Mueller. Just a few days prior to showing up with her at the meeting in Bavaria, Uli sold the car to a guy in St. Gallen, Switzerland; she's a gift for the buyer's daughter [wish I had a Daddy like that !] and probably is being delivered to Switzerland one of these days. The paint job looks like artisan ochre, I don't now if it's exactly the correct color mix. The car's interior is matching light yellow leather throughout, absolutely beautiful even though not correct... I don't know the original specs, since I didn't take down all data from the body tag. The car has been taken very well care of since I last saw her in 1998, she is still in excellent condition.
