As of April 7, 2025, this is the information we have about this car:
[Feb.01.2017] Car #690 has survived.' It was not previously included in the roster.' In March 2004, I was contacted by enthusiast Ron Susser who has been in contact with the owner and who, I anticipate, will soon provide us with more detailed information about this one.' It appears to be an all-original car, with just 46K miles on the odometer;' it seems to have a small complement of the vanity items, including the magnetic tumblers (in the plastic case), the plastic cigarette box, the beveled mirror and the leather notepad. If we get the OK from the owner, I shall add some pictures for this entry. Late Extra [June 2004] Got this message from Kent Steine, the current owner:' Greetings, great job on the website! Had I known you were missing my car in your Database I would have contacted you long ago. It had been catalogued by the BOA back in the 1970's, so I was surprised to read that it had only recently been included in your records. I am the owner of Eldorado Brougham #690; Trim #2282; Paint # 122. It has been a ' member' of my family since 1963, and is indeed in it's original factory condition. In addition to the car itself, I also have various other support materials and numerous NOS parts in their original boxes, including bumpers; crown mouldings, etc, etc. For the record....nothing is for sale at this time. My car hasan unusual and interesting history that began with my father, Arnold Steine at the '55 Motorama Show... If you would be interested in learning more, please feel free to write. Ihave a lot of information and material that my be helpful to Brougham Owners... With every good wish, Kent. We look forward to hearing more from you, Kent.' Kent added that he knew of two Broughams in his home state of Wisconsin; one was copper-colored (code#98) and belonged to a Dr. Gonstead, a friend of Kent's Dad; the other was a '58 that had been totaled by a train! Seven down, 697 to go!
