1958 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham on 2040-cars
Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States
|
This 1958 Eldorado Brougham, #537, is a rust free California/Colorado example that has been professionally restored to show quality condition.
The previous owner was a Cadillac collector, with 100+ cars and this was the last one he sold before his passing. He is the one who had the car modernized with a 500ci Eldorado V-8, a TH400 transmission and a later model Cadillac front clip, complete with disc brakes. I believe that he also had the car rewired and all of those changes now have less than 5,000 miles on them. From all outward appearances, the car is stock. The ONLY giveaway, without opening the hood, is the column mounted transmission shift indicator that you’ll see in one of the pix.
As a result of the excellent job that was done on the car, and because it has been meticulously maintained since then, it is 100% roadworthy. It tracks effortlessly down the road, straight as an arrow at plus freeway speeds, as solid as a rock, just like when it was hand built 56 years ago, along with the 303 other Broughams. The big 500 is smooth as silk, quiet as a church mouse, and the transmission shifts flawlessly.
I’m sure that it was the intent of that California collector to have a car that would be not only reliable, but would also be the only one being regularly driven and enjoyed on the hiway. I believe that this is the ONLY Brougham being driven on a regular, fair weather basis and I have also chosen to just drive it and enjoy it. Needless to say, it’s quite an attention getter!
I never intended to part with it, but things change, and now it’s time to pass it along to another caretaker who will give it the love and respect it deserves.
If you’d like, I’ll personally drive the Brougham to your doorstep in the lower 48. Or you could fly in to Colo Spgs and have all the fun by driving it home yourself. For a 2-1/2+ ton tank, it gets pretty good gas mileage and handles great.
Included will be a set of black stanchions and chromed plastic chain for roping off the car at shows, plus a giant artist’s easel for displaying your informative sign at eye level at car shows.
Please call Martin at 719-473-2655, or email for my delivery terms, or for other questions/comments
Thanx for looking. |

GM raises 2023 guidance on strong sales, higher profits
Tue, Apr 25 2023General Motors beat first-quarter profit estimates and raised its full-year earnings and cash-flow guidance after vehicle demand at the start of the year surpassed expectations. Its shares rose in premarket trading. GM made $2.21 a share in adjusted profit in the first quarter, compared to a consensus forecast of $1.72 a share. Revenue rose 11% to $39.99 billion, it said Tuesday, which was more than the $39.24 billion analysts expected. The stronger results stem from rising sales in the US, even in the face of higher interest rates and inflation. GM executives said demand was strong enough to revise 2023 guidance upward, boosting profit estimates for the year by $500 million to between $11 billion and $13 billion. “We did it with strong production and inventory discipline and consistent pricing,” GM Chief Financial Officer Paul Jacobson said on a call with journalists. “All in all, weÂ’re feeling confident about 2023.” The Detroit automaker raised per-share full-year guidance to between $6.35 and $7.35, up from $6 to $7 a share, and said free cash flow would also increase by $500 million to a range of $5.5 billion to $7.5 billion. GMÂ’s shares pared a gain of as much as 4.4% before the start of regular trading Tuesday, rising 3.5% to $35.50 as of 6:55 a.m. in New York. The stock was up 1.9% for the year as of the close on Monday. North American Strength The automakerÂ’s sales were particularly strong in North America, where first-quarter earnings rose before interest and taxes rose to $3.6 billion. Vehicle sales rose 18% to 707,000 in the region. Jacobson said the company originally expected to sell 15 million vehicles in the US this year, slightly less than the 15.5 million annualized rate automakers foresaw in the first quarter. North American demand was enough to offset a weak performance in China, GMÂ’s second-largest market. The automaker continues to struggle in the country, where its vehicle sales fell 25% to 462,000 vehicles in the quarter. Profits from its joint ventures in the market slumped 65% to $83 million. The market has struggled overall in the wake of Covid-19 restrictions and foreign automakers have had to overcome a growing preference for Chinese brands by competing on price, squeezing profit margins. The situation in China probably wonÂ’t significantly improve until the second half of the year, according to Jacobson. GM remains on target to sell 150,000 electric vehicles this year, the CFO said.
Cadillac tipped to call flagship something other than LTS
Sun, 21 Sep 2014Cadillac wouldn't be Cadillac without large sedans in its lineup, and while the XTS has had to hold down that end of the fort all on its own, it won't have to for too long. That's because the luxury brand in the General Motors portfolio is preparing to roll out its new LTS, stylistically previewed by the Elmiraj concept pictured above. Only now, the latest thinking is that the upcoming flagship model may not be called LTS at all.
As Automotive News points out, Cadillac's naming scheme is all over the place at the moment. The ATS slotting below the CTS makes sense (alphabetically), but where do the ELR, SRX and especially the Escalade fit into that naming hierarchy? And how would LTS - as the project has been known until now - sit above the XTS?
Fortunately, Cadillac may be on the case, as two of the division's most recent senior appointments seem keen to rationalize the naming scheme. One is Uwe Ellinghaus, who joined Cadillac as chief marketing officer late last year. Speaking of the brand's nomenclature last spring, Ellinghaus was quoted as saying, "We are aware that this is currently a weakness of the Cadillac brand." And his new boss is bound to agree.
2013 Cadillac ATS Premium 2.0T 6MT
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The new Cadillac ATS is an impressive sport sedan, often considered one of the most serious threats to the BMW 3 Series. Unlike GM's previous attempts, this four door brings aggressive styling, commendable chassis dynamics and class-leading handling to the highly competitive battle. And, like its daunting German foe, Cadillac offer several powertrain choices.
I recently spent time with the ATS 2.0T Premium on my home California turf. Fitted with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox with a limited-slip rear differential, my tester was lightly optioned, with only a paint upgrade and a cold weather package. That brought the as-tested price to $46,305, configured the way I imagine most enthusiasts would prefer. This meant I fully expected to enjoy a week with a tossable sport sedan that boasted "fun-to-drive" as its middle name, but all was not well...
