[Feb.01.2017] Car #271 had aspecial trim modification [code #0, indicating a custom finish; gray was used instead ofblack for some interior trim parts. This is a survivor. It was offered for sale at the endof 1999 for $13,500 by my friend Larry Muckey. The car was still for sale in July, 2001. Late Extra [Dec., 2008]: This car and car #163 have found their way to Bahrain, in the Middle East. Igot this message from the new owner: Currently I am the owner of 2 Cadillac Eldorado 1957Brougham Car #271 and Car# 163. Both were purchased by my cousin Shaikh Isa bin Ali AlKhalifa in our home country Bahrainin the Middle East. Mycousin passed the cars on to me recently after seeing how I wasintriguedbythem. Car# 271 was purchased first but was hard to restore from our country notbeing in the US, since then it has not been running and needs some work I plan to restoreit sometime in the future. Car #163 was purchased restored 100% but as you know with thesecars they have a lot to be fixed so we are working on that as we speak although the car isrunning fine and in excellent shape.I wanted to send you information about the carssince you are doing a wonderful job keeping the history of these prized cars.
