Car Body #577


As of Nov. 6, 2024, this is the information we have about this car:

[Sep.01.2005] Car #577 was offered for sale at annual Barrett Jackson auction in Scottsdale, January 2005. It was seen again for sale by Hyman Ltd. for a cool $105,000. This is a one-owner car; it was bought new by John C. Swift of Swift Packing Co. in Chicago; John kept it for 47 years. Note that when BJ had it for sale, all the vanities were included. The new vendor does not mention them. Does he intend to try to sell them separately! BTW,the Hyman ad describes the Brougham as the first pillarless sedan ever built in America. Aren't they forgetting the 1956 Cadillac Sedan de Ville? The odometer reading stands at just under 17,000 miles but it may have 100K milesmore (I wonder if the service records are available?) Late Extra [9/2005]: from our favorite Brougham' sleuth' , Jerry Jansson : At Pebble Beach, the auction firm Gooding & Cotraded off this car for $79,750.
