As of April 18, 2025, this is the information we have about this car:
[Jan.01.2008] Car #704, the last Eldorado Brougham built of the first generation, is a non runner (BTW, production of the Eldorado Brougham was halted in July,1958).' This car was offered for sale in 1998, in New Jersey. ' Its fins had been amputated! In mid-1999 it was described as being painted Laurentian green with green cloth interior.' The price:' $11500 !' Contact David Barclay (732) 544-9035. Late Extra (5/2005): David just informed me that the car was sold by him from the estate of Edwin Alfred; it has gone to Minnesota. Edwin also owned #99 which he had bought NEW(!) and kept until his death. David said #704 was ' tired' and rusty.' The photo previously shown here turned out to be of car #468, as verified by enthusiast, Bruce Reynolds of Tasmania. ' Now, it remains to be seen if this car, #704, has indeed survived, or if David got the number wrong ? Complementary information [Jan., 2008], from CLC member Gil Dobbins: As I was reading through your listings of ' Broughams I noticed your comments regarding' # 704.' I knew Edwin Alfredwell.' He purchased the car when it was relatively new.' The fins had already been removed.' It was not a butcher job though.' I believe that it was done by the Derham Body Company in Rosemont, PA.' ' I have owned 2 Derhams' and have marveled at their workmanship. This jobis similar to three other 56, and 58 limousines that I have seen.
