As of Dec. 22, 2024, this is the information we have about this car:
[Dec.01.2004] Car #422 was owned in the late seventies by Avery Eliscu of Chicago, IL. At that time, Avery owned also Brougham #365, above. The car was offered for sale on e-Bay; originally Chamonix White [code #112] with rare, all-white leather interior [code #858] and and white mouton carpets [code #2], it has been repainted red and has a restored interior done in red and black vinyl. Sad for an Eldorado Brougham! The vendor described the car thus: 1958 Eldorado Brougham, by Cadillac, beautiful rare car, only about 450 were produced this year [304, in fact].About 25,000 miles, believed to be original. 12 year old restoration by famous Chicago restorer [Fran Roxas ??? ...although I seriously doubt he would put a vinyl interior in a Brougham !], looks great. Paint is near perfect, with perhaps one small ding on the passenger side rear. Chrome is fabulous except at the rear, near the lower taillights; there it is a little corroded. Three Dual Carbs, auto trans, nice interior, pretty mint. A real pleaser. On air suspension, which would probably be happier if it was converted to springs, i.e., it starts to sag after a while, the compressor works subjectto whim, and the original compressor was inadequate to begin with. Stainless steel rooflooks mint. Gas gauge does not work since I've owned the car. Air conditioning needs aclutch for the motor I'm told. It has worked fine in the past. New Exhaust. Automatic trunk open/close, a few vanity items including magnetic tumblers and some acrylic cases [cigarettebox?], etc... . Late extra [10/2004]: This from enthusiast Ron Susser who is advertising the car on the Internet on behalf of the owner: I am enclosing some updated information regarding 1958 Brougham #422. I viewed and photographed that car today. It is currently located in Oak Brook, Illinois and is for sale. The car was originally white but is now Firemist Red Metallic. It's actually a very nice exterior color and the paint is in excellent condition. The interior is now red and black vinyl with black mouton carpets. The mileage is believed to be correct atabout 21K miles. Still on air, the car drives great. Just detailed and tuned.Please click below for full details and lots of pictures: http://www.ronsusser.com/vehicles.asp?t=n&v=399.It is for sale [on behalf of the owner], via my website, for $50K. On Ron'sWeb page he adds that prior to the sale, the owner will replace the front diaphragms, the compressor and the exhaust. Late LATE extra [12/2004]: Ron advised that Brougham #422 has been sold to enthusiast Paul Dehnert. I'm sure that he will contact you with updates.
