1958 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham on 2040-cars
US $65,000.00
Year:1958
Mileage:90000
Location:
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. |

SRX-replacing Cadillac XT5 spied for the very first time
Thu, 30 Oct 2014Cadillac has got big plans in place to revitalize its lineup, with new sedans, coupes and crossovers. And it all starts with this, the replacement for the SRX.
Expected to be called XT5 in line with the brand's new naming scheme, the crossover will be based on a scalable new platform called C1XX - or Chi, for short. In its shorter form, Chi is anticipated to underpin the XT5 as well as a new Chevy crossover and the next-gen GMC Acadia. In long-wheelbase form, the platform is slated to give us a larger Cadillac crossover as well as a new Buick Enclave and Chevy Traverse.
Power in the XT5 will be provided by a choice of turbo four or atmospheric six, potentially to be transmitted through GM's new nine-speed automatic.
Super Cruise’s failsafes
Fri, Oct 6 2017Even though Super Cruise is not a fully autonomous system, it incorporates redundancies like those used in aircraft to ensure failsafe operation. Before taking off on a 700-mile, 11-hour test drive of the system — and putting my life in its hands without my hands on the wheel — I sat down with Daryl Wilson, lead development engineer for Super Cruise, to get a deep dive into the system and its critical safety backups. Autoblog: First, what makes Super Cruise different from similar systems? Wilson: The key differentiator for Super Cruise is hand-free driving. It's an industry first in that respect. Our competitors require the driver at minimum to place their hands on the wheel with some frequency to ensure that the car knows that the driver is there. We don't. Two key technologies allow us to do this. One is our Driver Attention System, which is our methodology for making sure the driver is engaged with the vehicle and engaged with the road. This is a driver assist system, not a fully autonomous system. So it requires driver engagement. We use an infrared camera that constantly monitors the driver's face to determine the direction they're looking. We're looking for the driver to be what we call on-road — not on the center stack, not to left or right or down. That's all done by the tracking of the face. We also track that the eyes are open. It's infrared because at night you need to illuminate the face and you can't be shining a light into the driver's face. Then we have our lidar mapping that provides a foundation for control and redundancy to ensure safe performance. Autoblog: How does the mapping act as a redundant feature? Wilson: This system is only for use on divided, controlled access highways. What I mean by a divided highway is something more than a painted line between you and oncoming traffic. Whether that's a grassy area in between the lanes or a concrete barrier, anything that separates you from oncoming traffic. That's the divided highway part. The controlled access part is entrance ramps and exit ramps. Not with roads that cross at grade, with traffic crossing at the same level. To do that we geofenced these roads to ensure that operation is only allowed in these conditions. We don't just recommend you use it there; we ensure that you only use it there.
