    THE 1957 CADILLAC ELDORADO

 

Cadillac's completely restyled 1957 Eldorado borrowed heavily from the lines of the Park Avenue, a hardtop sedan concept car shown at the 1954 Motorama.  A new X-member chassis contributed to structural rigidity as well as to a profile nearly three inches lower than before.

The Eldorado Biarritz and Seville had their own rear-end configuration. The work of Ron Hill, a talented 23-year-old design newcomer, it featured a sloped deck flanked by rounded fenders sprouting sharply pointed fins.  The lower rear fenders were liberally garnished with chrome.  The hood ornament was eliminated, contributing to a smoother frontal appearance.  Overall, the 1957 Eldorado was more readily distinguishable from other Cadillacs than any Eldorado since the original.  The standard horsepower was 300, more than enough power to get the job done.

Vehicle Condition:

 

THE “ORIGINAL” INTERIOR OF THIS 1957 ELDORADO IS IN AMAZING “SURVIVOR” CONDITION!  THIS BEAUTIFULLY STYLED VINTAGE AMERICAN LUXURY CAR RUNS AND DRIVES WONDERFULLY!

 

 

This Eldorado is 57 years old, so some signs of age are to be expected!  Let me first say that much of this car appears to be in amazing unrestored original condition.  However, I’m sure that a few items were replaced or rebuilt through the years.  I know the tires were replaced, and I assume the engine and transmission were rebuilt as it runs like it was new!  

 

This Eldorado has an amazing original “survivor” interior in excellent condition.  As would be expected, the clock is not currently working, very common for a vehicle this age.  The original factory radio does come on, but does not play.  I do believe the antenna is not plugged in, so that could be the problem.  The padded dash looks great and is soft and supple.  The glove box lock is not working and the door is being held closed with a spring.  The driver side ash tray is being held closed with silicone. 

 

The exterior is beautiful but not perfect!  The chrome bumpers have been rechromed.  The front bumpers look great, but do show some issues on the driver’s side lower piece.  The rear bumpers and tail light housings do have pitting, some corrosion and pealing.  There are three very minor windshield wiper scuffs that I believe will polish out.  The paint has a good shine but would benefit from a good polishing.  The paint does show some age as there is some cracking on the hood.  There are indications that the car may have had some minor body repair and the car was resprayed sometime in the past.  There is a scuff on the right rear stainless that can be repaired.  The sabre wheels show some pitting and minor chips. 

 

The trunk interior is in beautiful condition and holds what appears to be the original spare tire.  Most everything under the hood appears to be stock original components that have been refreshed as some time.  The license plates shown on the car are not included in the sale.

 

The odometer reading above is as it reads and is most likely not the total miles. 

 

 

This Cadillac Eldorado Seville will turns heads and gets thumbs up virtually everywhere it goes!
