1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham™

The Race for the Ultimate Luxury Car
By the mid-1950s, Cadillac had been the Gold Standard for American luxury cars for over 20 years. But, in 1955 the Lincoln Continental Mark II, priced at almost $10,000, threatened this position. Harley Earl assigned Ed Glowacke to design a Cadillac to surpass the Mark II. Using a design based on Cadillacs earlier show cars, the 1953 Orleans and the 1954 Park Avenue, with a body by Fleetwood, the Brougham more than met the task.

Too Expensive, Too Complicated
The features and innovations of the 1957 Cadillac Brougham are too numerous for us to list- among them the 1st pillar less 4-door body, 1st quad headlights (illegal in a few states), brushed stainless steel roof to only name a few. Unfortunately, every $13,074 Brougham cost $23,000 to produce. Add to this, mechanical problems with the air suspension system and battery-operated trunk, Cadillac was probably happy to only sell 400. The styling of this Certified Milestone car, with its hood and trunk lower than the fenders, is still spectacular today and our 1:18 scale precision die-cast replica is a lifelike reproduction, from its ebony black finish to its stainless steel roof.
