As of April 22, 2025, this is the information we have about this car:
[May.01.2005] Car #267 was brought to my attention for the first time in June 2002 by its new owner, 'Robbie', who inherited the car from his grandfather. He says: I don't know anything about this car and wanted to know if youwould give me an idea of what it might be worth and some info about it. It has approx.72,000 miles and has never been restored. I have been in touch with'Robbie' by e-Mail. Robbie subsequently offered the car for sale on e-Bay. The car apparently changed hands. Late extra (June, 2003): The car is being offered for sale again on e-Bay; it is located in Knoxville, TN. According to the description: The BROUGHAM has 71,661 miles from the original owner's estate [so it has done no mileage since it was last sold?], with older cosmetic restoration, on SPRINGS with rebuilt water pump, carbs and TRANSMISSION. New interior, not correct [Robbie said it had never been restored; the photos he sent (below) seem to show the correct beige leather interior, although theoriginal carpets were white mouton (lambskin)]. Even Later Extra [May, 2004]: This from enthusiast Michael D. Brooks ['57 EB#123]: 1957 Brougham # 267 is currently for sale (10-May-04) in Costa Mesa, CA. Pretty shabby shape. Ladies compact is in the glove box ! I verified that it's on springs with abad interior re-do...seat inserts are grey and rest of it is a red color. Looks likeengine work has been done and new suspension parts were observed. Needs lots of work to restore but appears all there. Location is House of Luxury, Harbor Blvd, Costa Mesa, CA. When I inquired about the price, he said $49,995 [read $50K] . When I stopped chuckling I suggested $20,000 might be more realistic. He said 'They sell for $80,000 restored and $25,000 will get that one perfect.'Later extra still: [June 2004]; the car is advertised on eBay with a'Buy-it-Now' price of $69,500 ! [mileage: 72,110] Andeven later: ...the car apparently found a new home (in Houston, TX ?); the buyer reportedly paid $40,000 for it. The mileage is unchanged. Later still (5/2005): the car is back on eBay with a high reserve (over $45K). Let's see how the bidding goes this time.
