As of Dec. 23, 2024, this is the information we have about this car:
[Feb.01.2017] Car #442 was reported in New Jersey in May, 1997; it was said to have only 45K miles and was owned at that time by David Barclay, who also has car #294. According to Brougham enthusiast Jean-Claude Franchitti ('60EB #68), this one [#442] was for sale early in 2001 for $26,500. Late Extra (5/2005): David confirms he once owned this car; it was a very good original and is now (2005) in Florida. Late extra [Feb. 2006]: Brougham ' detective' , Jerry Jansson of Sweden, kindly pointed out to me a Web page containing some photos of #442 [below] as well as this narrative text: Warren is a 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham, #442 of 705 built in 1957 and 1958. He was delivered December 7th 1957 to Atherton Calif. In 1989 he was sold to a gentleman in New Jersey with just 44,685 mile on the odometer. He was garaged in a climate controlled building until 2000 when his third owner purchased him with almost the same mileage showing. The car now has a little over 49,000 on it. The car appears to be an unmolested, rust free original with the exception ofan original color paint job in 1989 that is still show quality. Since 2000 the present owner has been upgrading and refurbishing Warren as needed, new air ride system (does not leak down), new correct trunk upholstery, correct mouton carpet set and new fabric and leather as original. Dash pad was rebuilt by Just Dashes. Other items include, new radial tires, exhaust, brakes, shocks, rebuilt front suspension and completely rebuilt AC. Factory radio has been upgraded to AM, FM. Everything on this car works, the memory seat,' auto-start' and even the clock. This car runs and drives like new at freeway speeds or in town with no problems. If you are looking for a rare unusual very collectible car, this might be it. $64,950.
