1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham - One Of The Best Worldwide!! on 2040-cars
Alphen aan den Rijn, Netherlands
LaSalle Classic Cars proudly presents this totally restored 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham! LaSalle Classic Cars is specialized in high quality American cars of the forties and fifties. We are located in the Netherlands, Europe, near the Amsterdam Airport.
This 1957 Eldorado Brougham is in like new condition and is complete with all the vanity items! Body number 155, in the original color of Deauville Gray (paint 118) with a lovely new interior by SMS fabrics in the factory correct Bayou Gray Cloth and White Leather (Trim 138), the carpet is "Mouton" (sheepskin). This Brougham was fully restored in Sweden and is complete with all the original vanity items that belong with this particular Brougham! A unique Cadillac as the experts know. For many it is the ultimate Cadillac! There are only 704 of this first series made in 1957-58. Equipped with all possible options then available, including; a 325 hp dual carburettor V-8, a stainless steel roof, memory seat, power everything (even the vent windows and trunklid!), air conditioning, transistor radio (for the first time, instead of tubes), cast-aluminium wheels, automatic starter system etc., etc. All these features are in working condition! These Broughams featured a problematic air suspension when new but like most Broughams this car has long since been converted to coil springs. The new price was astronomically high; $ 13,740. In comparison, a Ford Fairlane Sedan would cost you only $ 2,200. So you could buy 6 for the price of a Brougham! The so-called "vanity items" associated with the Brougham consist of the following: 6 magnetized drinking cups with a cylindrical plastic holder, a plastic case for cigarettes, a beveled vanity mirror, a notepad with Silver Cross pen, a bottle of Arp`ege by Lanvin perfume with gold atomizer top and a lady vanity case made by Evans. The vanity case was especially made by Evans for the Cadillac and features the famous Cadillac "V" on the outside and has the same color leather as the top of the dashboard. Inside you’ll find a comb, lipstick holder and powder puff. The notepad and mirror are stored in the rear armrest compartiment and are therefore color keyed to the upholstery (in this case white leather). The Brougham runs and drives great! It is extremely difficult to find a properly restored Brougham, let alone find one with all the original vanity items complete!! This is truly a unique opportunity for the enthusiast /collector! Dutch registration papers.
Location: The Brougham is located at our showroom in Alphen aan den Rijn, the Netherlands, a 15 minute drive from the Amsterdam airport. Our 50+ car showroom is open Wednesday till Saturday from 11:00 am till 5:00 pm. Inspection on this car is, of course, welcome!

Cadillac XT5 caught uncovered during photo shoot
Fri, Jun 26 2015It's only been a few weeks since Cadillac announced that its replacement for the SRX, the new XT5, is on its way. Now, we have images of it out in the open and completely free of camouflage. Obtained by a reader at Jalopnik's Opposite Lock forum, the Caddy was spotted during what user Saw930 believes was a photo shoot in New York's trendy SoHo neighborhood. There's only a pair of images, from the front and rear three-quarters, but it's enough to give us a very thorough overview of the exterior styling on the new CUV. In short, the design language that has been seen on Escalade, CTS, and upcoming CT6 has indeed made its way to the SRX replacement. The broad, egg-crate grille is perhaps the cleanest iteration of Caddy's latest styling, while the CT6-inspired headlights look sharp, as well. Expect a similar headlight pattern to the CTS, with strong LED character accents on the outside of the headlights that integrate seamlessly with the lower DRLs. In back, the taillights curve over the rear haunches and blend into an extremely strong shoulder line. It's a dynamic and aggressive piece of design that we'll need to see in person before signing off on. The rear bumper, meanwhile, is a nicely styled piece, complete with twin, integrated, rectangular tailpipes that flank a piece of (probably faux) skid plating. There's a similar off-road treatment in the front bumper, as well. While we wait for scour for more news on the XT5, have a look at the two images Saw930 captured and posted at Oppo and let us know what you think in Comments.

Cadillac picks Publicis as new agency of record, continues cutting ties with Campbell Ewald
Fri, Dec 5 2014Cadillac is setting itself up for major changes in the coming years with its decision to hire Johan de Nysschen as the brand's new boss and moving some of the staff to new digs in the trendy SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan. With those two big shifts in place, there's one more on the way with the company's announcement that Publicis Worldwide is now its global creative agency of record, effective immediately. The firm replaces former, long-time General Motors associate Campbell-Ewald; now a portion of Lowe and Partners. "This appointment is designed to accelerate the global expansion and elevation of Cadillac into a truly global luxury brand," said Cadillac Chief Marketing Officer Uwe Ellinghaus in the company's announcement. "We have spent much of this year refocusing on the core values of our brand." Although, some work may remain at Lowe and Partners for now. According to Cadillac spokesperson David Caldwell via email to Autoblog: "The bulk of work makes this shift. It is possible that maybe a small individual smaller project or two might still be handled by Lowe. Not certain yet." The fruit of this new partnership shouldn't take long to mature, either. "We will have substantially new marketing and brand identity work in early 2015." said Caldwell. According to Ad Age, Cadillac's advertising had been handled by Lowe and Partners, Campbell-Ewald in Detroit (now entirely part of Lowe) and Hill Holiday. Caddy had a relationship with the agency since 2013 but has changed firms several times in 2006. GM had a long collaboration with Campbell-Ewald, though. Chevrolet was its partner for nearly a century until the automaker also jumped to Publicis in 2010. The firm was responsible for campaigns like, "The Heartbeat of America", "Like A Rock" and "An American Revolution." Scroll down to read Cadillac's full announcement of the change. Cadillac Appoints Publicis Worldwide 2014-12-04 DETROIT – Cadillac announced today the appointment of Publicis Worldwide as its global creative agency of record. Publicis Worldwide is the largest creative agency of the Publicis Groupe network and its appointment to Cadillac is effective immediately. A fully dedicated team, comprising key managers from Publicis Worldwide, will lead the account and have access to specialist and premium resources within the larger Publicis Groupe.
