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. |

Cadillac won't replace XTS after 2019
Mon, Apr 6 2015Cadillac wouldn't be Cadillac without a large sedan, but the definition of just which model fits that bill changed last week. Before the New York Auto Show, that role fell to the XTS. After the New York Auto Show, though, the focus shifted to the CT6. So what's to become of the XTS now that the CT6 has emerged? According to the latest intel, it'll live out the rest of its lifecycle until around 2019, but then drive off to its own funeral like so many limousines and hearses that were built off its platform. This was learned based on comments made by Cadillac chief Johan de Nysschen at the closed-door unveiling of the CT6 in Manhattan: "Ultimately, a car like XTS when it reaches the end of its lifecycle, will not be replaced." That'll be bad news for the livery business that – in the post-Town Car era – has come to rely on the XTS as the basis for its stretch jobs. "We will not have a car that will lend itself to these kind of modifications and we will probably withdraw from those markets," de Nysschen told GM Inside News. That's not all the new Cadillac boss had to say, though: he also indicated that the replacements for the ATS and CTS will be positioned differently from the current models: "As we move into the future refining our sedan portfolio, there will be no direct successor to the CTS. There will be no direct successor to the ATS. There is no point to renaming those cars because in the future those cars will disappear." Based on Johan's comments and those we've heard until now, we'd expect the replacement for the ATS to move down a size to take on the likes of the Audi A3 and Mercedes CLA, and the CTS' successor to move down half a size class as well to give the new CT6 a bit more breathing room, and possibly an even larger flagship sedan to be positioned above them all.

Weekly Recap: Lincoln Continental serves up the style, Cadillac CT6 delivers the substance in New York
Sat, Apr 4 2015Lincoln and Cadillac grabbed the spotlight this week at the New York Auto Show in a dramatic fashion that evoked the brands' glory days. America's two luxury carmakers went toe-to-toe with their glittering reveals and plans for ambitious expansion. Both were selling their technology, style and the promise of a better future. Cadillac vs. Lincoln. At the Javits Center, 2015 seemed a lot like 1956. Neither company was interested in drawing comparisons with the other, which is fair, and accurate. They're in vastly different places in terms of sales and the pace of their turnarounds, but they hope to reach the same eventual destination at the pinnacle of the luxury-car world. Lincoln used the element of surprise to great effect with the Continental concept. A production version is still at least a year away, and the company was vague on details. Officially, we don't even know if it is front- or rear-wheel drive, though speculation abounds. Who cares? The seats can be adjusted 30 ways! The Continental also showed off a bold chrome grille that will be the new face of Lincoln. The blue bomber also rolled on blinged-out 21-inch polished aluminum wheels, used a 3.0-liter EcoBoost engine and had huge LED head lights with "laser-assisted" high beams. All of this resulted in almost blinding attention. The concept drew rave reviews, stirred controversy with Bentley designers who argued Lincoln ripped them off, and most importantly, pointed a way forward for the newly determined brand that hopes to compete with Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Cadillac and Lexus.

With production starting late this year, Cadillac had more specifics at the ready. Engines? Cadillac has a couple V6s and a turbo four for sure. It's working on a hybrid, and has considered a V-Series variant. It's based on a new rear-wheel-drive, aluminum-intensive chassis called Omega, features an advanced collision-mitigation system with automatic braking and has a cabin that's laden with "leathers, exotic woods and carbon fiber." It will be assembled at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck factory and goes on sale next year. At this point, Cadillac is more than willing to talk about every except for the price. The devil was not in the details for Cadillac, as evidenced by the CT6. But it wasn't for Lincoln either.
