    THE 1957 CADILLAC ELDORADO

 

Cadillac's completely restyled 1957 Eldorado borrowed heavily from the lines of the Park Avenue, a hardtop sedan concept car shown at the 1954 Motorama.  A new X-member chassis contributed to structural rigidity as well as to a profile nearly three inches lower than before.

The Eldorado Biarritz and Seville had their own rear-end configuration. The work of Ron Hill, a talented 23-year-old design newcomer, it featured a sloped deck flanked by rounded fenders sprouting sharply pointed fins.  The lower rear fenders were liberally garnished with chrome.  The hood ornament was eliminated, contributing to a smoother frontal appearance.  Overall, the 1957 Eldorado was more readily distinguishable from other Cadillacs than any Eldorado since the original.  The standard horsepower was 300, more than enough power to get the job done.

 

PEOPLE WILL BE IN AWE OF ITS UNIQUE AMERICAN LUXURY CAR BIG FIN STYLING, AND YOU'LL GET MANY SIGNS OF THEIR APPROVAL!

Vehicle Condition:

 

THE INTERIOR OF THIS 1957 ELDORADO IS IN AMAZING MOSTLY “SURVIVOR” CONDITION!  THIS BEAUTIFULLY STYLED VINTAGE AMERICAN LUXURY CAR RUNS AND DRIVES WONDERFULLY!

 

 

This Eldorado is 57 years old, so some signs of age are to be expected!  Much of this car appears to be in amazing unrestored original "SURVIVOR" condition.  However, I’m sure that some items were replaced or rebuilt through the years.  Obviously the tires were replaced!  

 

This Eldorado has an amazing mostly “survivor” interior in excellent condition.  As would be expected, the clock is not currently working, very common for a vehicle this age.  The original factory radio does come on, but does not play.  I do believe the antenna is not plugged in, so that could be the problem.  The padded dash looks great and is soft and supple.  The headliner looks like new.  The glove box lock is not working and the door is temporarily being held closed with a spring, and the driver side ash tray is being held closed with silicone. 

 

The exterior style is beautiful!  The chrome bumpers have been rechromed.  The front bumpers look great, but there is an issue on the bottom of the driver’s side lower piece.  The rear bumpers and tail light housings do have pitting and some pealing.  There are three very minor windshield wiper scuffs that I believe will polish out.  The paint has a good shine but would benefit from a good polishing.  The paint does show some age as there is some cracking on the hood and one or two other spots.  The car was resprayed sometime in the past.  There is a scape and some indentations on the right rear and left rear stainless that can be repaired.  The sabre wheels show some pitting and minor chips. 

 

The trunk interior is in beautiful condition and holds what appears to be the original spare tire.  The engine bay is clean with some components being replaced or refreshed as some time.  The license plates shown on the car are not included in the sale.

 

The odometer reading above is as it reads and is most likely not the total miles. 

 

 

This Cadillac Eldorado Seville will turns heads and gets thumbs up virtually everywhere it goes!
