1958 Cadillac Series 70 Eldorado Brougham Hardtop Sedan

The Cadillac Eldorado Brougham, which was built in 1957 and 1958, was truly over the top. Built to compete with the new Continental Mark II, the cars were essentially hand-built on a separate Cadillac production line. The actual cost to build the cars was an estimated $23,000 but they sold for $13,070.

Among the car's many unique features were the brushed stainless steel roof, under-seat heaters, a glove box, and rear seat compartment that included drinking cups, lipstick holder, cigarette case, mirror, note pad and perfume atomizer! Plus, these industry firsts: quad headlamps, all-transistor radio, year-round fresh air conditioning. A mind-boggling 45 interior options were available as well as 15 exterior colors.

The 365 cubic inch Cadillac OHV V8 developed 335 horsepower thanks, in part, to three two-barrel carburetors. The car featured a four-speed automatic transmission, air ride suspension, auto leveling, automatic headlight dimming and automatic start - plus power trunk opener and closer.

Only 400 were built in 1957; 304 were built in 1958.
