As of Jan. 20, 2025, this is the information we have about this car:
[Jan.01.2011] The car was offered for sale on eBay and sold via "buy it now" for $115K. The ad indicated that although the pictures (included herewith) showed the car not completely assembled, it was no longer the case. The car is now in Sweden. It was completely restored to the highest standards and includes all its vanities.
[Jul.01.2009] Andy wrote: I believe the Cadillac details on my car are incorrect. As you know I am currently restoring #155 and have stripped the whole car. In doing so the information on the site about white mouton carpet in the rear is incorrect. The rear carpet was in fact grey mouton as it is under the rear seat frames in as new condition. (As a result, Yann Saunders removed the reference to the color "white"). It is believed that karakul was in the front compartment corresponding to the '0' on the tag plate. The resto is nearly complete. Have just taken the dash top to Autoline at the Power Meet for them to do. Last thing is to try to find a new windshield. I put a new one in car #197 but it's from Peru and does not have the curved top.Do not want to make that mistake again.
[Sep. 2008] The car was acquired by Andy Kerby Jones in the UK. Andy said that the previous owner had a funeral home in Canada. The car was complete but needed a full restoration (it had not been stripped before the last paint job). Andy has spent the last 2½ years on restoring the car; presently it only needs final fitting up. The interior looks stunning, with original material from SMS in Portland, OR (Yann Saunders had a bad experience with one of the staff there in the 80s, but that's another - forgotten - story). Andy has also all the vanities and an original OM. BTW, Andy and his wife have relocated to Sweden, to a place called Borlange Dalarna; they have opened a restoration shop there. Good luck, both!
[Sep. 2005] The car was offered for sale on eBay. In his description of the car the vendor said it had been repainted the original color (code #118) and the engine was rebuilt. No vanities, nice chrome, perfect roof steel, interior could use work, final assembly required (fresh from paint). Starting bid was $15,000; the reserve was not shown. It was for sale later (again in September 2005): it was a "no sale"; the bidding ended at $32,600 but failed to meet the vendor's reserve.
[Late 1970s] This car had Karakul nylon carpet in front and mouton in the rear; it may have been designed to be chauffeur driven. This car too has survived. In the late seventies it was owned by Rudy Stahl, an early member of the BOA. At that time Rudy owned also Broughams #167, #241, and #520. According to an article in C&P for February, 1979 (pp.10-15), one of these cars appears to have had all the vanity items. Now this from the Oberhaus Museum, in Archbold, OH, which is about 70 miles west of Toledo: Oberhaus Enterprises has a 1957 Eldorado Brougham, VIN NO. 5770102030, Style: 57-7059x, Body no. 155, Trim No. 1380 ("138" = light gray Bayou cloth upholstery with white leather; final "0" corresponds to special order carpet, being Karakul nylon in the front compartment and lambskin "mouton" in the rear); Paint 118 (Deauville gray). We also have a 1958 Cadillac Brougham Fleetwood, VIN NO. 58P021928, Style No. 7059X, Body No. 520, Trim No. 2122 ("212" = medium blue Mojave cloth upholstery with medium blue leather; final "2" corresponds to mouton carpets), Paint No. 110 (black).
