1957 Cadillac Series 70 Eldorado Brougham

Harley Earl's signature is all over the luxurious 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham, car number 49 of 400 built. Deluxe features include an all-transistor radio, Autronic Eye automatically dimming headlamps, power-adjustable front seats with an innovative memory function, and air conditioning with power-retractable vents. A built-in vanity compartment provided old-world convenience in a modern setting, with its tissue dispenser and cigarette package compartment.

Of course, the Eldorado Brougham delivered more than adequate acceleration from its 365 cubic-inch V-8, and a sophisticated four-speed Hydra-Matic automatic gearbox.

This first-year example has been recently refinished in its original stately Fairfax Blue with the requisite stainless steel roof. Underneath, the problematic Air Ride suspension was replaced by factory technicians with coil springs. Inside, its interior retains the original two-tone factory upholstery. Rebuilt instrumentation includes the clock, radio, and more. it features a nearly complete vanity kit, as well as a jack.
