1960 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham - 1 0f 101 Built - All Original Survivor - Rare! on 2040-cars
Scottsdale, Arizona, United States
|
This is a mostly all original, ultra rare 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham in excellent, well preserved condition inside and out. This is one the rarest Cadillac's ever built as it is #63 of only 101 Broughams ever built in 1960 and one of only 200 built in its two year production run. There are only half believed to exist today. This limited production Cadillac sold for a lofty $13,075 when new, the Eldorado Biarritz convertible sold for only $7,400 new. The Brougham wasn't even made in America. Pinin Farina built the bodies in Turin, Italy, for installation on a stock chassis shipped from Detroit. This beauty has been well taken care of all its life and it shows! It is a 43K original mile car that is mostly all original except for some of the interior. It was originally ordered by Standard Oil chairman Jack Rathbone Jr. It has spent most of its life in southern California and still has its original California black plates on the car that were last registered in 1973. I purchased the car recently out of a large car collection in southern California where it was stored for years. Prior to that is was donated years ago to the Peterson Automotive museum in Los Angles, CA, where it spent over a decade of its life. These cars were completely loaded from the factory. It has its original 390ci 345hp tri-power engine, factory air conditioning and full air ride suspension that is still fully intact and functional on this car. After many years of storage we did a complete tune up, drained the old gas and went through the brakes. It is now a great running and driving car. Amazing everything still works in the car except the clock. Even the A/C kicks on but needs a charge of Freon. It was ordered in Black, which is one of the rarest and prettiest colors offered in the Brougham, which this is 1 of 30 built in this color!! This is a super rare and desirable car in this original condition. This is the car to have if you want to feel like an instant celebrity. It's the ultimate cruiser and it gets more attention and appreciation than any exotic or new luxury car could ever get. This Black beauty is a rolling testament to the glitz, glamour, innovation, and prosperity of the 1950's and 1960?s! It's loaded with the following equipment:
This 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham has been very well preserved all its life. It is completely original on the exterior with all original paint. The original paint shined up very nicely after fully detailing it, after its many years of storage. It looks great but shows its age upon close inspection. It was painted in lacquer from the factory and has a lot of lacquer checking in the finish. To be perfect again it would need a complete paint job but if you're a stickler for originality it can be kept the way it is and it has a lot of character to it. Shows that this car withstood the test of time. This is an original California black plate car that retains all its original sheet metal and is almost completely rust free and solid as rock. The only rust in the car is on the bottom of the right front fender, which is just starting and very minor. The floors and the rest of the car are dry as a bone. Believe it or not, all the chrome and trim on this car and is completely original and in excellent condition. This car was kept inside and treated as a true Collector Car should be! It is super straight down the sides. This Cadillac again only has 43,000 Original Documented miles. These Cadillac Broughams don?t get offered for sale much. Don't miss this chance, Bid Now! It has a beautiful mostly all original, blue broadcloth interior in it that looks amazing! The only thing that has been replaced on the interior is the carpet and the front seat was redone in the original NOS material. Absolutely everything works in the car except the clock. All the chrome and trim on the dash is bright and clean as new. The dash pad is excellent with a perfect steering wheel. Inside the trunk is all original with its original trunk material, spare and jack. Mechanically, the engine and transmission runs excellent! This Cadillac drives with no issues at all! The original numbers matching 390ci motor provides great power to move this little diamond around. The car fires right up and runs excellent. Driving down the road there are no squeaks or rattles and that's wonderful coming from a 50 plus year old car. Every option and or function works as it should. The engine compartment is all stock and original right down to the original hood insulation. I went through the whole brake system, fuel system and a complete tune up. It even has a new exhaust system on it. The original air ride suspension is still intact and in working order. It is alittle slow going up and does loose air after sitting. I would say the system would need to be gone through to work perfectly. The air conditioning kicks on but needs to be charged and serviced. The car is an absolute pleasure to drive. Fire her up and she's ready to cruise. All and all, this 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham is one of the absolute rarest classic Cadillac's ever built! With Top Notch Quality and one of the highest mechanical Standards this car makes a wonderful choice. What a rare opportunity such a rare and original car. I even have all its original owners manuals and owner protect policy book. If you have any additional questions please Call Jimmy at 608-215-8300 7 A.M. to 7 P.M.

2016 Cadillac ELR gets more power, $9,000 price drop
Wed, Apr 15 2015Cadillac has announced a series of updates to the ELR for 2016 that promises to make the plug-in hybrid luxury coupe a more desirable proposition. Perhaps chief among them is a price drop of $9,005 compared to the slow-selling 2014 model. The news follows an announcement yesterday that the Chevy Spark would get a $1,500 price drop. Cadillac is quoting a net price for the updated ELR at $58,495, which is obviously substantially less than the $75k it was asking for the previous version. But it's important to note that the new price is listed after US federal tax credits. The 2014 model came in at $67,500 after the full $7,500 tax credit, so math tells us that Cadillac has slashed the price on the 2016 ELR rather dramatically by about nine grand with a new MSRP of $65,995. One big upgrade on the performance front is a 25-percent boost in output from the hybrid powertrain that marries a pair of electric motors to a 1.4-liter inline-four gasoline-burning generator. The increase is said to be enough to drop 1.5 seconds off the 0-60 time, now quoted at 6.4 seconds. It'll travel for up to 39 miles on electric mode alone, but with the generator spooled up will go up to 330 miles before needing to stop. The engine management software has also been updated and the regenerative braking system reconfigured as well, but GM's luxury division didn't stop at the powertrain, fitting the 2016 ELR with a raft of other enhancements. Visually there's a new grille with the marque's latest emblem embedded. The suspension has been stiffened, the steering recalibrated and the brakes optimized for better feel. Cadillac is also throwing in the previously optional Driver Assistance package of active safety systems as standard, with adaptive cruise control available as an option. And the infotainment system comes with OnStar, 4G LTE connectivity and on-board Wi-Fi. There's even a Performance Package available with 20-inch performance tires offering 10-percent better lateral grip, four-piston Brembo brake calipers up front to help reducing stopping distances by 12 percent, recalibrated dampers and steering and a thicker-rimmed steering wheel. Because of the higher rolling resistance tires, however, the Performance Package kills four miles off of the electric driving range.
Cadillac could 'flourish' in Australia, says marketing chief
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Cadillac might have its best product mix in recent history, and GM's luxury brand is looking to expand. In fact, it might even be making a trip Down Under, at least according to the company's global marketing chief.
Uwe Ellinghaus spoke with Australian site Car Advice at the Geneva Motor Show and said the brand could be quite successful there. "[The] goodwill that the Cadillac brand has is such a good starting base that once we get proper volume commitment and a dealer network behind it we can easily flourish," he said, though he warned that the plans are still in their earliest stages and years away. First, Cadillac will expand in markets with the highest possible sales, like China and Russia.
Ellinghaus said that the most likely models for Oz would be the SRX, Escalade and CTS; the latter would probably act as a replacement for the Holden Commodore. GM's Australian arm is ending local production in 2017, and there have been many rumors about what is happening to the big sedan. However, Ellinghaus admits exporting cars from the US to Australia is going to mean higher prices. In addition to the expense, Cadillac doesn't currently build any right-hand-drive models. It would likely take until the end of the decade before the Aussie models could be ready.
Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.
