As of Nov. 5, 2024, this is the information we have about this car:
[Feb.01.2017] Car #548 was modified by the Derham Coach Corporation; a beige canvas top was added and a small back light installed [note: at least two Broughams were thus modified byDerham]; the car was owned by the Rockefeller family; it has survived and is currently in Sweden. This car may have been owned in the seventies by Robert Mannino of New York City [apparently Robert had some serious problems with the law !]. It is one of only four 1958 Broughams painted Maharani Maroon [code #152], the others being #424, #485 and #591. Late Extra [3/2007]: Enthusiast Jim Jordan of Oklahoma City adds this: While researching my 1956 Derham Limousine with the Rockefeller Foundation, I discovered that 1958 Brougham Body #548 was indeed owned by John D. Rockefeller Jr. and his wife, Martha Baird Rockefeller. I found that she traded my 1956 Limo plus another matching one, along with 1958 Eldorado Brougham VIN 58P032044 [i.e.body #548] for a Derham modified 1962 Park Avenue Sedan de Ville (possibly the one shown in the dream cars for 1962 section ofthe Database?). The 1956 Limos brought $1,900 each and the Brougham a whopping $3,200 trade in value. Later still [10/2008]: According to Swedish Cadillac enthusiast, Rikard Sternberg, this car may be currently (2008) in Sweden.
