It is the only car in the 1958 production run to bepainted Gleneagles green (called Elysian green for the Brougham); this was not aregular Brougham color although it was included on the color palette for the regular 1958Cadillac models [code #96]; it is a very pretty, light green, tending towardsturquoise.
