As of April 22, 2025, this is the information we have about this car:
[Feb.01.2017] Car #286 was brought to my attention by, the son of the current owner, Bob Huff of St. Louis, in March 2004. Previously, it had not been listed in the roster of survivors. Here is what he said about his Dad's car: I've been visiting the Cadillac DB for quite a long time,but have only now felt compelled to write. My father owns Brougham #286... It's an interesting car, with an odd history, although I'd like someone to fill in the gaps. I believe someone out there will recognize this car, as it came from California, and thero of has been buffed to a shine! It has Cadillac wire wheels and was last licensed in Arizona, in 1969.... The data plate indicates that it was originally Nairobi Pearl, withMouton... I have MANY photos, although the car is in primer, and has been for many years.... Overall, it is an excellent car, with no rust. It does need a complete restoration, though.... Also, interestingly, someone chrome-plated many of the engine parts at some point in the past. I wonder if this was some kind of mild custom/show car atsome point... Dunno... I also believe there are others out there that are unaccounted for.I've seen at least one more personally, that I don't believe is in your Database, but, sorry, I am not revealing it's location or city, as I'd like to buy it.... You do aterrific job, and I enjoy every visit. I noticed you just added #340,so I thought I'd drop you a line.... Please contact me at the email address I've provided. You may visit my site for a sneak peak of my dads car.... You may have to dig a little...I will email you more photos if you are interested. THANKS! Well, I appreciate your contacting me and I'm sure many Brougham owners/admirers will be glad to see more pictures of it.
