As of Nov. 2, 2024, this is the information we have about this car:
[Feb.08.2009] Car #525 was owned in the late seventies by Duncan Emmons of Rancho Mirage, CA. Duncan was an active member of the BOA under the presidency of Cy Strickler. At that time, Duncan owned also the following 1957-58 Broughams: #41, 114, 115, 154, 288, 348, 367 and 460. Lateextra [Dec., 2008]: the car has been advertised for saleas an ' unrestored 95% original car' by Matt Garett of Dallas, TX. Any interested buyers or potential buyers may contact Matt here: Cadillacman@mcsmk8.com. Latest [Feb. 2009]: the owner has just written to say there has been an error; the car is NOT for sale. He writes: My name is Jim Hailey and I think you do a fantastic job. I go to your sight several times a month for information and curiosity. I am also a CLC member and have been a Grand National judge as well. Please allow me to point out of couple of mistakes on the update of car #525. The car is mine, paid for by me, titled to me, and owned and cared for me. Matt Garrett is a fantastic friend of over 20 years and is as deeplyinto cars as I am. We share storage and help each other with our classics. The car is not owned by Matt Garrett, although he does have many fine Cadillacs. The car is the best preserved, original, 50 year old car I have ever seen. All original except for a quality repaint due to lacquer checking from age and not neglect. When I read Jim's note, I thought perhaps Matt had played a prank on his friend, but Jim later added [Feb. 8, 2009]: Matt has around 40 cars and maybe he just got mixed up, heck I can't even keep my 10 collector cars straight. Please don't call him a prankster, he is too good a friend for too long for that. Car #525 is still riding on its original air suspension that has been maintained and works well. It also has all the original vanities, notreproductions like so many we see now, original spare, and all original and mintchrome and stainless.It also has the mouton carpet option. It was thenicest original I could find after a long multi-year search. The quality of these cars is impressive to anyone familiar with any make of automobile. Thanks for everything you do!
