As of April 19, 2025, this is the information we have about this car:
[Mar.18.2022] Update April 2022 - This car has been in Fenton, Mo. and listed for sale on several platforms over the past year or more. The ad states same owenr since 1987, the bumpers have been rechromed, and a newer air suspension system installed. Current auction is through ACC Auctions, but has also been on Ebay recently. Appears largely original. https://www.allcollectorcars.com/classic-car-auctions/vehicles/1957-cadillac-eldorado-brougham/
[Feb.01.2017] Car #364 was offered for sale in September, 2001. This one too was ' discovered' by that great Swedish Eldorado Brougham sleuth, Jerry Jansson. The ad on the Hemmings Web site reads: FOR SALE, CADILLAC: 1957 Eldorado Brougham, black with very good original gray cloth interior [should be cloth AND leather], car has working air suspension, but needs new air bags installed, could use some cosmetic restoration for show, asking$25,000. PH: 610-825-9071 evenings, PA. In January, 2002, I learned from enthusiast, Jean-Claude Franchitti ['60EB #68], that this car had found a new home. Late extra (and correction) [Jan., 2008]; this just in from the car's owner, Gil Dobbins: I have been a member of the Cadillac- LaSalle Club for many years. I currently own Brougham number 364 and have owned it since1984 [my emphasis] when I purchased it from the second owner. My father was the service manager for Scott Smith Cadillac in Philadelphia, PA. He used to bring home a Brougham many times when they were new to road test the work done on the car that day (Air Ride). He told me never to buy a Brougham, I have owned 8 in total. Car number 364, the one he constantly brought home is the one I now own. The story I have heard is that he banished the car to the back of the building because of the problems the mechanics were having getting the air suspension to function properly. The owner had purchased another car. Perhaps Gil would be kind enough to provide the Database with a couple of pics of his car.
