1990 Cadillac Brougham 5.7 - Worlds Finest Example on 2040-cars

1990 Cadillac Brougham.  5.7 Liter, FE2 Handling Suspension, Trailer Package, triple white, blue accents with red/and blue pin stripe,. 24K mile perfect example.  "As Good As It Gets" is the name I have bestowed on this particular Brougham, and the reason why is because nothing you see or have seen is quite like this one.   I sold this car a some years ago to a collector here in town. Upon Mark's purchase, he took what was a near factory perfect saved car and made it a true #1 level show car.  His idea was to make this car the way Cadillac should have done it if they had a Rolls Royce Budget.   Although some of the details in this car will be lost to photographs, many can be seen, and as an overall package, it should literally blow you away.  The end product here may be the most perfect Brougham in terms of details, quality and fit and finish the world has seen.

It took a driven person with a mission and a budget that could have bought a new Rolls to do this.  You are not looking at normal, and as I said, this car may appear to be little different than some of the other nice ones you see, but side by side it is a few steps beyond.  I have 300 mile New Broughams in my collection, although they are brand new perfect as the factory made them, they are not like this car in level of detail or fit and finish.   The work put into this Brougham was done by Dusold Enterprises   one of the finest Automotive Restoration organizations in the country.  Now when I say restoration, that is not what this car needed.  It was "vastly improved" upon from a perfect factory original.  David Dusold set out to keep as much of this car's originality in place, and it the end product has as much, if not more, integrity than the original day one car.   Where GM lacked, Dusold made up for by leaps and bounds.  If you notice the fillers on this car, they are more perfect than any Cadillac of this era to date.  The real weak point of the Brougham with the rear filler and trunk area finish out is the best ever taking all Broughams in consideration.  The door jambs and underside hood are what we would label as "Rolls Royce" standard.  Notice the strikers, sill plates and more.   The headliner is one piece leather hide with a vintage pattern that fits the car.  Sun visors and sail panels are doeskin leather to match seats with French stitching.   The map lights are color keyed, under hood is high detail with all engine accessories and brackets finished to the highest level detail of any show car.   All aluminum under hood has hours of polishing work and all the suspension parts have been powered coated.  This is just some of the work, the rest of it would take a few paragraphs then some.

All in all, I have had over 200+ Broughams in my day, have seen the best of the best, have owned some of the best, but this particular car took it a good step further.  Nothing is quite extravagant in the letter of perfection as this car has achieved. I have had lower mile, I have had more rare, I have had ones with 500HP engines built out of 2000 mile new cars....  However, the angle this car achieves is to please the absolute infinite perfectionist with the most detailed eye and over expecting demands.  When a guy like me sells a car out of my collection, I always wonder and hope that what I have sold will meet the new owners expectations.  It takes a while to get to know a car, so photos are not always the answer, but good ones sure help.   If this car were ever sold and the person buying this car was not happy with it.... Well there has never been a car to date anywhere they would be happy with.  And that is why this car is called  "As Good as it Gets!

This car is not for everyone... As I stated and as many may know... I have 4 broughams in the collection right now with under 1000 miles, one that literally has never moved.  All are their top respective examples, probably the best the planet has to show.... However.... None are to this level, as they simply were never made this way new.
