As of April 19, 2025, this is the information we have about this car:
[Feb.01.2017] Car #36 is owned by Dave and Linda Adler of Laguna Niguel in California. It has been somewhat modifiedfrom original. Dave and I were in contact in June/July, 2002. Here is what hewrites: my wife and I are the proud owners of #36.We have owned this car since November 2001. It may distress purists because our car is a 'leadsled'. It gives us a lot of pleasure. The car has the original interior but thepower train is a 350 Chevrolet. The Chevy engine scoots the car along just fine. Theoriginal suspension has been upgraded to late model air bags. The car is in a flat colornot primer. We have taken long trips in the car in supreme comfort and complete peace ofmind. A lot of attention was paid to the electrical system. The A/C is a modern VintageAir system. We listen to a 12 disc CD player. We have shown the car at a number of customand hot rod shows to the delight of enthusiasts. Some folks register shock at seeing agorgeous car such as ours, customized. Other people think we applied the stainless roofand suicide doors and can't believe that these parts are original. Historically, the carwas saved from being parted out by the customizer, Kent Kozara of Cambria, California. Earlier this year, the car appeared in a rock video. The Back Street Boys areshown with our car as they perform the song, Drownin', which was a numberone hit. Although many people inquire if the car is for sale, we always tell them NO. This is an heirloom and an important part of our family. The Caddy even has a name, BadAndy. Thank you for maintaining this excellent web site, it is a great benefit toenthusiasts. Late extra (12/2007): The car appears to have been restored (repainted) and was offered for sale by Hyman, Ltd. I shall try to get recent pics from the vendor that show the car in its new (red)garb. Latest [ 4/2008]: This just came in from ShawnDougan of the Hyman Co; he said: Also wejust sold car #36, which you have on your website. The car was an unrestored car that had been painted twenty plus years ago. The custom car #36 is not the same car. We sold #36 to a customer in the Middle East. Could there be TWO 1957 Eldorado Brougham models with the #36?
