1960 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham - 1 0f 101 Built - All Original Survivor - Rare! on 2040-cars
Scottsdale, Arizona, United States
This is a mostly all original, ultra rare 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham in excellent, well preserved condition inside and out. This is one the rarest Cadillac's ever built as it is #63 of only 101 Broughams ever built in 1960 and one of only 200 built in its two year production run. There are only half believed to exist today. This limited production Cadillac sold for a lofty $13,075 when new, the Eldorado Biarritz convertible sold for only $7,400 new. The Brougham wasn't even made in America. Pinin Farina built the bodies in Turin, Italy, for installation on a stock chassis shipped from Detroit. This beauty has been well taken care of all its life and it shows! It is a 43K original mile car that is mostly all original except for some of the interior. It was originally ordered by Standard Oil chairman Jack Rathbone Jr. It has spent most of its life in southern California and still has its original California black plates on the car that were last registered in 1973. I purchased the car recently out of a large car collection in southern California where it was stored for years. Prior to that is was donated years ago to the Peterson Automotive museum in Los Angles, CA, where it spent over a decade of its life. These cars were completely loaded from the factory. It has its original 390ci 345hp tri-power engine, factory air conditioning and full air ride suspension that is still fully intact and functional on this car. After many years of storage we did a complete tune up, drained the old gas and went through the brakes. It is now a great running and driving car. Amazing everything still works in the car except the clock. Even the A/C kicks on but needs a charge of Freon. It was ordered in Black, which is one of the rarest and prettiest colors offered in the Brougham, which this is 1 of 30 built in this color!! This is a super rare and desirable car in this original condition. This is the car to have if you want to feel like an instant celebrity. It's the ultimate cruiser and it gets more attention and appreciation than any exotic or new luxury car could ever get. This Black beauty is a rolling testament to the glitz, glamour, innovation, and prosperity of the 1950's and 1960?s! It's loaded with the following equipment:
This 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham has been very well preserved all its life. It is completely original on the exterior with all original paint. The original paint shined up very nicely after fully detailing it, after its many years of storage. It looks great but shows its age upon close inspection. It was painted in lacquer from the factory and has a lot of lacquer checking in the finish. To be perfect again it would need a complete paint job but if you're a stickler for originality it can be kept the way it is and it has a lot of character to it. Shows that this car withstood the test of time. This is an original California black plate car that retains all its original sheet metal and is almost completely rust free and solid as rock. The only rust in the car is on the bottom of the right front fender, which is just starting and very minor. The floors and the rest of the car are dry as a bone. Believe it or not, all the chrome and trim on this car and is completely original and in excellent condition. This car was kept inside and treated as a true Collector Car should be! It is super straight down the sides. This Cadillac again only has 43,000 Original Documented miles. These Cadillac Broughams don?t get offered for sale much. Don't miss this chance, Bid Now! It has a beautiful mostly all original, blue broadcloth interior in it that looks amazing! The only thing that has been replaced on the interior is the carpet and the front seat was redone in the original NOS material. Absolutely everything works in the car except the clock. All the chrome and trim on the dash is bright and clean as new. The dash pad is excellent with a perfect steering wheel. Inside the trunk is all original with its original trunk material, spare and jack. Mechanically, the engine and transmission runs excellent! This Cadillac drives with no issues at all! The original numbers matching 390ci motor provides great power to move this little diamond around. The car fires right up and runs excellent. Driving down the road there are no squeaks or rattles and that's wonderful coming from a 50 plus year old car. Every option and or function works as it should. The engine compartment is all stock and original right down to the original hood insulation. I went through the whole brake system, fuel system and a complete tune up. It even has a new exhaust system on it. The original air ride suspension is still intact and in working order. It is alittle slow going up and does loose air after sitting. I would say the system would need to be gone through to work perfectly. The air conditioning kicks on but needs to be charged and serviced. The car is an absolute pleasure to drive. Fire her up and she's ready to cruise. All and all, this 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham is one of the absolute rarest classic Cadillac's ever built! With Top Notch Quality and one of the highest mechanical Standards this car makes a wonderful choice. What a rare opportunity such a rare and original car. I even have all its original owners manuals and owner protect policy book. If you have any additional questions please Call Jimmy at 608-215-8300 7 A.M. to 7 P.M.

Cars with the worst resale value in 2022
Thu, Nov 10 2022Car values are all over the map right now. Used vehicles that were worth a small fortune earlier this year are now coming back to Earth, but the new vehicle supply remains tight. Prices are still elevated overall, but some models have seen more severe price drops. Depreciation strikes almost every model, supply constraint or not, though a few vehicles are leading the way. New research from analytics iSeeCars found that a handful of cars depreciated more than 50 percent over five years, with the BMW 7 Series dropping 56.9 percent and an average price cut of $61,923 over that time. The vehicles with the highest depreciation — or worst resale value — over five years: BMW 7 Series: -56.9% Maserati Ghibli: -56.3% Jaguar XF: -54% Infiniti QX80: -52.6% Cadillac Escalade ESV: 52.3% Mercedes-Benz S-Class: 51.9% Lincoln Navigator: -51.9% Audi A6: -51.5% Volvo S90: -51.4% Ford Expedition: -50.7% iSeeCarsÂ’ research showed that midsize trucks, sports cars, and fuel-efficient vehicles were slowest to depreciate over five years, while itÂ’s clear that luxury brands tend to lose value much faster. As iSeeCarsÂ’ Executive Analyst Karl Brauer explained, used buyers donÂ’t value high-end vehiclesÂ’ features as much as the first owners, so resale values tend to be softer. The tech and options that made the cars so expensive and appealing new donÂ’t add the same value on the used market. Read more: Cars with the best resale value Interestingly, electric vehicles also depreciated quite heavily, though they were just short of the abysmal numbers in luxury segments. The Nissan Leaf depreciated most among EVs, dropping by 49.1 percent. The average EV depreciation is 44.2 percent, with the Tesla Model S and Model X sliding in right under the bar at 43.7 and 38.8 percent, respectively. As iSeeCars notes, itÂ’s important to be vigilant when car shopping and not let your emotions win over reason. Shiny new luxury cars look great in the showroom, but you could end up taking a bath when you try selling them a few years later on.

Cadillac cancels sponsorship of Trump's PGA event
Thu, Jun 2 2016Cadillac has ended its sponsorship of the PGA's World Golf Championship, which has incited a response from Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Without the automaker's money to run the event at a property owned by Trump in Miami, the PGA announced it will move the WGC to Mexico City. Trump responded by saying, "Cadillac's been a great sponsor, but they're moving it to Mexico. They're moving it to Mexico City which, by the way, I hope they have kidnapping insurance. They're moving it to Mexico City. And I'm saying, you know, what's going on here? It is so sad when you look at what's going on with our country." In 2010, the PGA announced a multi-year deal with Cadillac to sponsor the WGC, starting in 2011. Since 2007, the event has been held at what is now known as the Trump National Doral Miami location. Trump took ownership of the property in 2012. Cadillac issued a statement to Autoblog that says: "We are proud to have been the title sponsor of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship since 2011. We have made the decision, however, not to extend our sponsorship beyond this year. We thank the PGA TOUR for a great six years with the Cadillac Championship."
