As of July 3, 2025, this is the information we have about this car:
[Feb.01.2017] Car #615 was known to exist but its whereabouts were a mystery. This car was found recently (November, 2002) by enthusiast Claude Walker who reports as follows: This EB looked the best as far as I could see [Note: 1957 car #316 is also at the same location]. It is another white car (paint #112). It had a white leather and blue cloth interior. I looked inside and found it pretty much complete and did notlook in real bad condition. All the glass in this one looks good. The cars are very dustyand it is hard to see every small problem. This EB has had some parts removed but I was told they are all there. Most of the tires are up and' it would not be a big problem getting them out of the garage.' Style 7059X, Body PD 615, Trim 2382 [Medium Blue bayou cloth and White leather; mouton carpets], Paint 112 [Chamonix White].' I was told that none of the interior accessory items are there [that's toobad!]. I didn't look for them nor for the owner manuals. The owner passed away thisspring and his son has not found the titles. I think both of these could berestored' or made into one nice one. If you know of someone who is up to the task ofsaving these two EBs I can get him in touch with the owner. I looked at the list of known numbers for 1957 and did notfind #316 [you are right Claude, that one is definitely a new find].' For the 1958 I found #615 in thenumerical listing but not in the descriptive list. So maybe these are new finds [infact, this car was known to have survived but its whereabouts were a mystery]. The owner's son told me they had a 3rd one, a 1958, that was very bad and sold as a parts carseveral years ago. No info is available on this 3rd one. I hope this helps the EB folks out there in preserving these valuable cars. I have had ' old cars' since 1966 and count a few Cadillacs in the bunch. The first was a 1941 Sixty Special, then a 1957CDV and a 1958 CDV. I have recently bought a 1960 CDV. I don't have the means to take onthese EB restorations or I might own them. I only hope we can get these into the hands of someone who can bring them back to their former glory. Thanks for sharing this information with us, Claude. If any Database user wants to contact Claude, his e-Mail address is:wbudwalk@attbi.com.' Late extra [January, 2004]:' the car was acquired in late 2003 or early 2004 by enthusiast, Ray Cruise.' Later[March 2006]: formerly included at the foot of this section, among' unidentified cars' , this one is now in good hands.' In March, 2006, I had noticed two Broughams (1957 and 1958) offered forsale, as a package, by the Imperial Palace collection in Las Vegas, NV, for $33,000 [date of actual posting on Internet is unknown:' http://www.cars-on-line.com/17742.html. Both were sold.' This one was described thus:' Cadillac Eldorado Brougham. Easy restoration. Car is 99.9% complete and body is strong. Perfect glass and stainless roof. Also have a 1957 Brougham. It is 95% complete and could be restored or used for parts. Will sell both as a package for $33,000. Further on, thead said: PRICE REDUCED $ 17,500. I thought this pair had gone to Sweden; in fact, this car has gone to Australia. The the other caris #560. It was described as : A rare black beauty indeed. Almost too nice. Completely restored in 2003. Naturally pampered since. Fly in and drive her home or I will help arrange shipping anywhere in the world. The pictures speak for themselves. PRICE REDUCED $58,000. That car is still for sale.'
