This 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham is one of 304 examples produced for the model year. It was sold new in California, later spending time in Texas and being featured in the August 1993 issue of Collectible Automobile before it was purchased by the current owner in 2014. A mechanical refresh completed in 2017 by Bob Mosier Restorations of Inglewood, California, included a service of the air suspension. The car is finished in maroon over white and gray leather upholstery, and power comes from a 365ci V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes triple two-barrel carburetors, power-assisted four-wheel drum brakes, a brushed stainless steel roof, rear coach doors, power windows, air conditioning, Mouton carpets, and a transistorized AM radio. This Eldorado Brougham is now offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner with a vanity set, spare parts, registration documents, service records, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
Deriving its styling from the Orleans and Park Avenue Motorama concepts of 1953 and 1954, the Brougham was hand-assembled by Cadillac and retailed for $13,074 when new. This example is finished in Maharani Maroon (152) and features quad headlights, “Dagmar” bumper guards, a brushed stainless steel pillarless roof, rear coach doors, and a power-operated trunk. Areas of touch-up paint are noted by the seller, and work performed under current ownership included re-chroming the rear bumpers and installing replacement hood and door springs as well as stainless steel exhaust louvers. Paint imperfections can be viewed in the gallery.
The Kelsey-Hayes forged aluminum wheels are mounted with 8.40/8.20–15 US Royal bias-ply whitewall tires. A matching spare wheel is stowed with a Vogue whitewall tire under a cover in the trunk. The Eldorado Brougham rode on a 126″ wheelbase and was delivered from the factory with an air suspension that was serviced by Bob Mosier Restorations in 2017. Stopping power is provided by power-assisted drums at all four corners.
The cabin features twin bench seats trimmed in white leather with gray Parisienne cloth accents and Mouton carpets. Amenities include air conditioning, power-operated windows, a power-operated front bench with memory, power door locks, an Autronic Eye headlight dimmer, a transistorized AM radio, fold-down armrests, and lap belts. A spare roll of gray Parisienne cloth is included in the sale.
The two-spoke steering wheel with a chrome horn ring frames a 120-mph speedometer and gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, generator charging status, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 43k miles, approximately 500 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 365ci V8 features triple two-barrel carburetors as well as a gold air cleaner and valve covers.
