1958 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham on 2040-cars
Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States
|
This 1958 Eldorado Brougham, #537, is a rust free California/Colorado example that has been professionally restored to show quality condition.
The previous owner was a Cadillac collector, with 100+ cars and this was the last one he sold before his passing. He is the one who had the car modernized with a 500ci Eldorado V-8, a TH400 transmission and a later model Cadillac front clip, complete with disc brakes. I believe that he also had the car rewired and all of those changes now have less than 5,000 miles on them. From all outward appearances, the car is stock. The ONLY giveaway, without opening the hood, is the column mounted transmission shift indicator that you’ll see in one of the pix.
As a result of the excellent job that was done on the car, and because it has been meticulously maintained since then, it is 100% roadworthy. It tracks effortlessly down the road, straight as an arrow at plus freeway speeds, as solid as a rock, just like when it was hand built 56 years ago, along with the 303 other Broughams. The big 500 is smooth as silk, quiet as a church mouse, and the transmission shifts flawlessly.
I’m sure that it was the intent of that California collector to have a car that would be not only reliable, but would also be the only one being regularly driven and enjoyed on the hiway. I believe that this is the ONLY Brougham being driven on a regular, fair weather basis and I have also chosen to just drive it and enjoy it. Needless to say, it’s quite an attention getter!
I never intended to part with it, but things change, and now it’s time to pass it along to another caretaker who will give it the love and respect it deserves.
If you’d like, I’ll personally drive the Brougham to your doorstep in the lower 48. Or you could fly in to Colo Spgs and have all the fun by driving it home yourself. For a 2-1/2+ ton tank, it gets pretty good gas mileage and handles great.
Included will be a set of black stanchions and chromed plastic chain for roping off the car at shows, plus a giant artist’s easel for displaying your informative sign at eye level at car shows.
Please call Martin at 719-473-2655, or email for my delivery terms, or for other questions/comments
Thanx for looking. |

2014 Cadillac CTS images leak out yet again
Mon, 25 Mar 2013It seems the 2014 Cadillac CTS just doesn't want to stay under wraps. For the second time in as many days, Caddy's next sedan is showing a bit more sheetmetal than the automaker would like before it is officially debuted tomorrow at the New York Auto Show.
This time, the leak comes from USA Today, and we've gone ahead and added them to our gallery of 2014 CTS images. As you may know, Cadillac will bestow the next CTS with an all-new twin-turbo V6 engine that will offer up an impressive 420 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
USA Today also mentions a new Vsport model but doesn't give any more details other than the fact that it will boast the twin-turbo engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Of course, all you have to do is come back to these pages for the official unveiling tomorrow afternoon for all the sordid details. In the meantime, check out the images above.
Cadillac CTS-V gets Stealth Blue and Silver Frost limited edition models
Fri, 15 Feb 2013A little more than a year and a half ago, former weekend editor Alex Nunez and I were talking about how sweet it would be for Cadillac to offer a CTS-V in the Corvette's Supersonic Blue paint, and as if General Motors eavesdropped on our conversation, this showed up. And while the Stealth Blue car you see here isn't an exact duplicate of the hot-looking sedan GM showed off in prototype form, it's really close. And really sweet.
New for 2013, the Cadillac CTS range gets two new colorful editions, starting with the Stealth Blue package available on the CTS-V (in sedan, coupe and wagon bodystyles) as well as the naturally aspirated CTS coupe. In addition to the unique paint, blacked-out grille and dark satin wheels, Stealth Blue cars can also be done up with an optional Twilight Blue leather interior. (And you thought blue-on-blue color schemes died in the '90s.)
Cadillac is also offering a new Silver Frost package, but it's a bit more exclusive. Only 100 examples will be built, all in CTS-V Coupe form. The Silver Frost paint is a low-gloss matte finish, in that while it technically has a clearcoat covering, it's reduced in a way that the surface still appears flatter than standard paint. Even so, Cadillac states that the car should be hand-washed only.
2014 Cadillac ELR is making green sexy in Detroit
Tue, 15 Jan 2013
In terms of styling, inside and out, the ELR hits the ball out of the park.
Cadillac has pulled the wraps off of its newest family member, the long-rumored, Voltec-powered, eye-catching extended range hybrid coupe called the ELR. The car makes use of the same basic architecture as the Chevrolet Volt, but has been thoroughly layered on with design, technology and performance tuning - with the goal of being a properly situated product for the Cadillac brand.
