[Feb.01.2017] Car #532 was offered for sale on Ebay in July 2014 with a Buy it Now price of $149,000 and did notsell. The vendor's description read: This car was purchased from a long timeBrougham collector whom purchased it in 1971! The car was essentially INDOOR stored forall these 45 years. The car has been cosmetically detailed, top to bottom this year.The paint is old and with flaws...it was color sanded and polished, but remains VERYpresentable. The hood reflects yourself like a full length mirror! REALLY! There is orwas NO RUST! Zero rust repair. This car was NEVER under coated, the underside was onlyRED OXIDE finished originally ..and that's EXACTLY what we duplicated. There was ZEROrust repairs done anywhere, NONE! THERE WAS NO RUST! No floor rust, no rocker rust,NO RUST! ZERO RUST. The floor (spare tire well ect.) was dented from failed air suspension.All new brake system hydraulics, original engine #58P028297, all new exhaust system (carstill had its original exhaust, but very poor condition) 4 new shock absorbers, 4 new tires(had vintage gold stripes), engine cleaned and regasketed, rebuilt tri power carburationand fuel system, (this car STILL had original intank fuel pump), cooling system radiatorservice, new waterpump, hoses, belts, freeze plugs all fluids and much more. The allelectric power trunk fully functions, open and close! The trunk lining is all original andmint as well! The autronic eye works too! The electric windows were lubricated and ZIPeffortlessly both up and down. Power door locks work, Fully automatic Power antenna andfully transistorized radio (industries first) work. Functioning lighting, ie. fog, parking,turn, back up, dash, idiot, brake, headlight, courtesy, glovebox ect. ALL dash gauges andidiot lights work to some degree (consider them as 'just a suggestion' !) including fuellevel and low fuel light. Horns function too. Memory seat remembers EXACTLY where it stoppedworking in 1959, however all components seem intact. The motor does operate... but seat doesnot move. All doors open properly without broken assist springs (common problem). The airconditioning system was NOT serviced, compressor is free and does turn. The v-beltswere removed to prevent damage. The heating system has not been reconnected to a water supply.The cooling system was stored with ample antifreeze and virtually no corrosion was found.The original radiator was tested and found to without any issues!

The owner rates his car as a ' 5' , on a scale of 1 [poor] to10 [perfect in all respects]. It has been converted to coil springs; it has none ofthe vanity items. Late extra[12/2007]: thanks to owner-enthusiastMichael Brooks for bringing to my attention the fact that this car would be auctioned offat the Borgata in Atlantic City on February 28, 2008 [Hemmings Motor News ad]; I did notget the results of that aauctikon. Latest [03/2009]:The car popped up on Ebay with a $50K starting bid. The vendor admits that it isnot a perfect car as it is in need of final restoration, though it has some very good chrome.
