As of Jan. 18, 2025, this is the information we have about this car:
[Feb.01.2017] Car #213 was owned in the late seventies by Ed Meurer, Jr. of Lathrup Village, MI. LateExtra [12/2004]: The current owner is offering the car for sale through the CLC message forum for $15,000. He describes it thus: I really hate to part with it but mysituation has changed, so it has to go. 1957 Eldorado Brougham in need of restoration. Tagreads : Body - 213, Style No - 57-7059X, Trim - 2281, Paint - 124. This car has been offthe road since the late 70's [probably around the time it was first registered inthis roster of survivors] and in dry indoor storage. It has 50 - 60 thousand originalmiles, a near perfect original interior, and rust free body. Motor is seized, and needsall other mechanical work you would expect from a car that hasn't been on the road forthis amount of time. I talked to the person that owned the car in the 70's [Ed Meurer, Jr.?] , and was the last person to have the car licensed and on the road, heparked it because it needed brakes, exhaust, tune up etc. The car has been re-painted theoriginal color some time ago; it needs to be painted again. The stainless roof is perfect.Unfortunately the car is only about 95% complete. The person that owned it 2 people before me took a bunch of stuff off the car, supposably to start the restoration, and it's nowgone. I have found some parts, but it still needs more. It's also on Eldorado Silver [aluminumalloy] Sabre Rims. No vanities. Still on air ride, but missing the compressor and abunch of other air ride parts. I have ownership to the car, but no keys, so I don't haveany idea what works and what doesn't. I had planned on making the car into a driver,putting it on springs and keeping it on the Sabre's. This is one that if you re-built themotor you could drive as you restore. The car is located on Ontario Canada, and I may beable to deliver it somewhere for a fee. I want $15,000 US for the car, which I feel isreasonable. I have tons of pictures I can e-mail. Contact me at bankes@nornet.on.ca Later Still Extra [2/2005]: The car has changed hands again. Currently it is owned by enthusiast Dan Giove. Andmore [5/2005]: Hi Yann, Brougham 213 is currently in the shop having the drive train removed for rebuilding. It will be a long road to returnher to her glory but it is going to happen. Enclosed I am sending pictures in the beforemode and will follow up when completed with the after pictures. I am missing some parts soany help I could get from other enthusiasts would be appreciated. From what I have seen it appears only my car was the Bahama blue [infact it is Copenhagen Blue, Dan; the only original Bahama Blue car is #350], can you verify this, it is why I am dedicated to this car, I love the colors. Thank you for the beautiful work on your website. Dan Giove.
