As of Nov. 5, 2024, this is the information we have about this car:
[May.01.2009] Car #545 [new, 9/2007] is a new addition to the Database. It was brought to my attention by a number of CLC members and Cadillac enthusiasts after it appeared for sale on Ebay where it was advertised as quite possibly the lowest mileage 1958 Cadillac Eldorado BROUGHAM on Earth (43,700mi). The vendor acquired the car ' some years back' from anelderly gentleman who owned it for well over 30 years. It still has the original air suspension and tires! Apparently it found a buyer for $1 short of $80,000. Late extra [9/2007]: apparently there was no sale; the car wasback on eBay at the end of September with a new starting bid a dollar short of $70,000. Later still [10/2007]: the car is now in safe hands, in the care of owner-enthusiast, Michael Brooks. Michael will bring it back to its original splendor and then probably sell it as he has already in his possession one of the finestsurvivors out there. Latest [May, 2009]:Michael has put thecar on Ebay with a starting bid of $75,000. IMHO this car will one day fetch a RECORD price [between $150-200K]. But perhaps not in the current economy. For the Broughan enthusiast who would like to add to his archives a set of highly detailed photos of an authentic and near mint Cadillac Eldorado Brougham, I recommend downloading them NOW from Michael's ' Ebay' ad, as they will not remain there for more than a couple of weeks.
