As of May 20, 2024, this is the information we have about this car:
[Mar.01.2010] Car #650 [NEW, 4/2009] has come out of the woodwork and was brought to my attention by Ty Bennett of WorldwideAuctioneers.' He wrote:' Body #650 has a very interesting story as it was purchased new and admired by a 14 year old boy next door for many years. ' Decades later, the boy was able to purchase the car from the estate and enjoyed the car for many years subsequently. The car has been a part of the Sterling McCall collection and remains largely original and unaltered with all components still functioning properly. The Brougham is now being sold, along with much of the Cadillac collection, at the 2009 HoustonClassic Auction. A full description and event information may be seen at the website www.wwgauctions.com.' Late extra [2/2010]:' the car was offered at auction oneBay, with a ' Buy-it-Now' price tag of $95,000.' Here are excerpts from the eBay description of the car: This is one of only 304 Eldorado Broughams built in 1958.' In addition, it is a' three owner car and has museum stored since 1995.' Upon examination, you will see a very very straight original car that has been carefully maintained.' The air ride has been converted to spring ride for a better and safer ride.' The old air suspensions were nothing but problems!!' Finished in the original Apline White- code#112, ' and' Trim #8592 (white leather with black inserts) all in excellent condition. ' Original 365 cide overhead valve V-8 engine rated at 325 horsepower and topped with 3 two barrel carburetors.' The four speed Hydramatic transmission shifts smoothly and the ride is great.' ...with only THREE owners' from new, and only showing 43,000miles (believed to be correct).' I have just replaced the tires with new ones from Coker and added new chrome wire wheels [why ???].' The originalsabre wheels come WITH THE SALE' (they need to be restored) [what about theoriginal Brougham turbine-blade, cast alloy wheels seen in the photos, below?]' ' As you can see from the pictures, the body is straight as a pin and the dooropening ' lines' are perfect.' I have priced the Brougham is [to] sellwell below market.' ' Any questions, please call my cell at 314-330--0877' ' Thanks for bidding, Robert.
