As of Jan. 27, 2025, this is the information we have about this car:
[Feb.01.2017] Car #284 was on sale in Germany, in 1998, for DM 75,000 [circa $45,000]. According to collector-enthusiast Bill Wetzel of CA [car #154], this is one of SIX Eldorado Broughams sold by the Gene Winer Cadillac dealership in Bakersfield, CA. The others were #s 154, 277, 323, 462 and 686. This one has been converted (like many others) to coilsprings and was reported as 'completely restored'. It is painted Jamaican green and has matching green and white trim. The original destination was California. In the summer of 1999 the car was again offered for sale, this time for$54,000. In the Fall of 2000, the price had dropped $20,000 (!) to 'only'$34,000. It had 61K miles. It was acquired by Brougham 'detective' JerryJansson, of Sweden; he got it in southern Germany in 2001 and drove it back to Stockholm,Sweden, in February ...brrr!!!! Jerry told me that this car was not completely restored; the engine was never touched, except for exchanging the 57's 2x4carbs to the 58's 3x2 carbs. The interior is a 'misch-masch' of old and new, carpet is not the original mouton, seats been re-upholstered, but with a non original pattern, trunk interior is (as always) rotted out. Lateextra [10/2003]: Jerry said that work on his car had made progress; it just came back from the nice people at Competition Motors. It was driven (withoutthe front end ) and everything works OK ...after 24 months of work. The next step is to install the renovated AC and the front clip (and a million other little things...this is a BROUGHAM, after all!!!) Work on the interior continues. Jerry hopes to show the finished car at the Stockholm Motor Show in 2004. Good luck ! Later still [7/2009]: Jerry, like many others, has been hit by the recession and decided to part with his cars [he hasalso 1960 #009]. With help from Andy Kerby Jones [1957#155] both Jerry's cars found a new home with Roger Johansson [1957 #340]; restoration will be completedin Andy's shop in Borlnage. It has all vanities [the notepad is a repro from Andy].Latest [5/2010]:Andy informs me that Jerry's car went to the RM auction in March and sold for apathetic $82,500 ... less the vanities which were sold separately to the same buyer. The car did need a repaint (wrong colour) and some chroming, but the guy Andy finished it offfor wasn't willing to put any more money into the car.
