As of Jan. 15, 2025, this is the information we have about this car:
[Mar.29.2022] This car was reported sold in January 2022 by Fantasy Junction in California and still appears in excellent shape. https://fantasyjunction.com/sold/1957-cadillac-eldorado-brougham/overview
[Feb.01.2017] Car #332 [NEW, 2/2010] has turned up; it was brought to my attention by Cadillac enthusiast Stephen Nadon of London, Ontario, Canada. It is owned by CLC member, Geoffrey Smith, of San Rafael,CA. The color is Florentine [Fairfax?] blue with light blue leather interior; it has all the vanity items. This car was also mentioned by Xavier A. Gutierrez, Esq. (car #148). He wrote: While doing some internet browsing, I stumbled upon an article about a 1957 Eldo Brougham which is not yet on the survivor's list.It is EB # 342 [actually the magazine got the number WRONG: it is in fact EB#332] which isapparently in very good condition and located in San Rafael, CA (San Francisco area) -owned by a Mr. Geoffrey Smith. I am providing a link herein for you to see the concise article from the owner. It turns out that Mr. Smith is a member of the CLC and his info is in the CLC directory. I am at a loss to explain how a Brougham froma CLC member can be absent from the database!!! In any case, I was very pleased to find another survivor not yet listed in the database as this is just about as rare asseeing a 57-58 Brougham on the roads!! Greetings and thanks again for your excellent work. Sorry for the error/omission, which is hereby put right. Here is the link to the article about Mr. Smith's car. On Mar. 22, 2010, Geoff kindly provided the photos below, to illustrate this entry. Definitely a fine survivor! Geoff wrote: Your work has been known by me for many years. I shot these pictures in January 09. I am preparing the car for three shows this year [2010], the first being PaloAlto. I am having all the bumpers redone after someone botched the job a few yearsago. Also, Valley Wire Wheel in Van Nuys CA is doing a complete restoration of my wheels. A new set of Vogue tires will complete the job. This car is by nomeans a 100 pt. car. There is still a lot of originality here, including most ofthe interior which is mint. Needless to say, the car has never been off the frame, and as long as I have it, never will. I have owned the car since 1992. The 2nd owner in Sacramento bought the car when it was 2 years old. How it got from TX toCA, I don't know. I will keep you posted as to how the car does this season. Cordially, Geoff.
