As of Jan. 20, 2025, this is the information we have about this car:
[Feb.01.2017] Car #154 was owned in the late seventies by Duncan Emmons of Rancho Mirage, CA. Duncan was an active member ofthe BOA under the presidency of Cy Strickler. At that time, Duncan owned also the following 1957-58 Broughams: #41, 114, 115, 288, 348, 367, 460and 525. Late Extra[2/2007]: I got this update from enthusiast and collector, Bill Wetzel of California: I recently purchased EB #154 after a 'heads up' call from a friend of mine, Dale Armstrong. Car #154 was the first EB to be sold by Gene Winer Cadillac in Bakersfield, CA. The original buyer was Superior Oil's Howard Keck. The car is in reasonably good condition and complete except for front & rear bumpers, grille & all diaphragms. Any direction you can give us as to finding these parts will be greatly appreciated. Gene Winer sold 5 other Broughams : #s 277, 284,323, 462 and 686 [#s 323and 686 are not known to have survived]. I have the names of the original owners that I received from the dealer 30 yrs. ago. Latest [4/2010]: The car was offered for sale on Ebay. Vendor said: Newly restored 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham. New paint, chrome, upholstery & air suspension. Originally sold and delivered here in Bakersfield, CA to world famous oilman, Howard Keck (Superior Oil/ Keck Foundation). He reportedly made a few modifications to the interior that were maintained in the restoration of the upholstery. No vanities except an original, wrapped #829 Arpege perfume/atomizer set[3-4 years ago, that small vanity item alone might have added up to $10,000 to the value of the car! However, few enthusiasts today are willing to pay that kind ofmoney for it - check out this page of the Database for more infoon the Brougham vanity items].
