As of Dec. 22, 2024, this is the information we have about this car:
[Aug.01.2008] Car #99 was owned from new, until the nineties (?) by Edwin Alfred of Merion, PA. Ed also owned the last Brougham ever built, #704; that car had the fins removed atone time. Late Extra (8/2002): Eldorado Brougham 'sleuth', Jerry Jansson from Sweden, sent me this ad: FOR SALE ELDORADO: 1957 Brougham, restored from low mileage early serial number 99, air ride,rebuilt engine, trans, susp, etc, also 1958 Eldo Brougham, complete for parts or restoration, $35,000. PH: 845-359-5439, NY. Later(10/2002): CLC member, Joe Rubert owns this car (10/2002); the car is restored; it has 37K miles and still includes a number of the original vanities. Later still (11/2007): the car was offered on Ebay and sold for $115,000. It was described as a'strong #2' and had a reported 45+K miles; it came with all the vanities. Even later still (3/2008): Currently located in Texas, the car is up for sale on EBay once again. A few more photos have been added, below. It certaiunly looks to be in fine condition. Later yet (4/2008): It's on Ebay again, until April 13, 2008, with a Buy-It-Now price tag of $145,000 [that's up some from $35,000 in 2002!]. Admittedly, nice ones like this are getting hard to find ...at any price! The mileage is 'back down' to38+K although it was reported to have 45+K miles when it sold in 2007. Obviously, one orother of these figures is mistaken. The auction ended ...without a buyer. Latest (8/2008): #99 popped upon Ebay for the 4th time in 2 years, this time with new (ugly?) wide white wall tires. Itwas bid up to $105,100 but did not meet the vendor's reserve.
