When I was in college, I worked for a Cadillac dealership, the owner, the nicest man I ever worked for, had a 57 with the stainless steel roof. The car was silver. Under the hood was three two barrel carburetors. New, 13,500 dollars.

[@What.its.like.]

Yes that’s the Eldorado brougham 4 door HT it was to one up the Continental which was the most expensive car made in a america by a major manufacturer I think Cunningham offered a car for $17k but wasn’t really for sale to anyone had to know someone for that car.. and Cadillac ( no that packard was pretty much gone, played second fiddle to no one). Those cars are cool I’ve featured one but I’d redo that one

[@JT-rc7vx]

Could have bought a modest home for that money, that year and in California to boot. $13,500.00 was a chunk of change that year😊

An air conditioned convertible in 1957!?! Be still my heart. The original owner was definitely in high cotton, as we say in Texas. This car is a real show stopper!

[@What.its.like.]

Yeah this car has a lot of options I should’ve asked what the number was they haven’t listed it yet.. this car belongs to the man on the sign it’s johns car and he has 2 57 convertibles and a 58 the 58 is pink..

[@DavidHall-ge6nn]

OMG! The '58 is the Elvis special! You have got to show us that one, too! Please.

For 1957, all GM cars, except for Cadillac El Dorado Brougham 4 door hardtop sedan (with fender skirts as standard) does have 2 headlights, and for 1958 all GM cars does have 4 headlights as standard, across the board.

[@jefffixesit60]

There probably aren't very many places on earth where you can find two 1957 Eldorado convertibles parked side by side. I'm 69, I've never seen two at the same time. You're a very lucky person!😁

I'd go with the '57 Eldorado in both scenarios. That is one beauty that I can still remember seeing on the road as a very young kid. These were the barges the rich folk drove as my dad wrenched on a Triumph station wagon (talk about rare) & then a '59 Renault Dauphine (also rare...and junk!)

For me that was the best luxury car I have seen on any KZbin channel. The appointments are outstanding, in side and out. The interior looks like the lounge of a 5 star hotel. I prefer the body design of the 56. The only draw back I see is the top, seems kind of like an afterthought. I didn't even talk about that super clean engine compartment... now I did. LOL. What a sweet machine.

[@whatsamattayu3257]

It's amazing how neither Ford's Lincoln nor Chrysler's Imperial came anywhere close to matching Cadillac in sales or prestige.

[@draggonsgate]

This car is gorgeous, until you get to the rear end. It could be in serious competition with the '60 and '61 Imperials and '61 full size Dodges for Fugliest @$$Ever. It's a shame too, because the non-Biarritz Eldo's and other '57 Caddy's have very handsome rear ends. I absolutely LOVE those rims! I'm picturing them on a non-Biarritz in midnight blue. THAT would be a show stopper. Not that this one isn't... except for the butt. Did I mention I REALLY don't like the rear end? LOL WYR: 1) You know it's gotta be a Lincoln. 🙂 2) "56 or a '58 non-Biarritz... So looking forward to the 11th! Got it written on my calendar, and noted o my phone with reminders starting on the 10th. J, you should be extremely proud of what you have accomplished, and this little family of car-kooks you've created! Congrats my friend! Nothing but the best wishes for you going forward!

[@joelkoosed902]

I think the 57 Eldos are possibly the most beautiful car ever made -- esp the rear end! To each his own!

[@draggonsgate]

@@joelkoosed902 No prob, guy! Why there are so many offerings out there. I happen to think the '61 full size Plymouth's are beautiful something I know I'm in the extreme minority on... LOL I think it's the "bump" fin design. I'm not a fan of the '57-'60 Plymouth's, but love the same years Dodge's. The fins are more elongated and have a squared off trunk lid. Gotta hand it to Caddy back then... they did have style!

[@philipciaffa6643]

WYR: 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible - Hands down! Born in 1953. My family doctor, a GP, had a blue hardtop coupe version, that he parked in his office driveway. Always loved the design. The Packard Hawk was also a rare bird, a variant of the Studebaker Golden Hawk.

(People would ignore the Bugattis…and take selfies with this pleasure yacht..!)

That’s my favorite one of my favorite cars of all time if I had more money than brains I would buy one and I would drive it every day. Per sang of course can’t afford a real but if I had 450 grand to spend on a car I don’t know if I could just buy one. I’m definitely in the camp if I had $100,000 I would try to buy 10 $10,000 cars or 20 $5000 cars I don’t know I’m wired different

That is a gorgeous shade of blue, and the paint looks perfect! That thing you thought was an oil cooler was the A/C condenser. That behemoth A/C compressor was an axial 5 cyl design that weighed at least 40-50lbs. That was replaced by the far superior A6 Frigidaire compressor (which is also a behemoth, but not as much)) starting in 62. WYR= Lincoln and the 57 Caddy. Was it me, or were there two buttons by the dimmer switch? That second button could be for changing stations on the radio. Great job again, Jay!

Great video, Jay! I never saw this model in person, so you really got close views of the outside and inside. The dashboard is dazzling with all that stainless steel! I’d be so distracted with all that shiny metal. I believe the Biarritz model you show was the high level trim that gave you the gold on the grill, wheel covers and elsewhere. Thanks for sharing this model! Wow I can’t believe you’re approaching 500 videos! I was watching from the beginning and enjoy your consistent method of showing the models, stats, engine and exterior/interior of the actual car. It’s a winning formula! Congratulations! 🍾

This is a gorgeous auto, and one of my favorite Cadillac designs of the '50's. I do love the Premier also, but I do like this particular model of the Caddy better, and on the second I would probably go with the '58 , although one of each of the '57 and '58 El Dorado would be really sweet! I think I do like the single headlight design on this model better. Nice period ads also😎🤟

For WYR, it’s the ‘57 El Dorado for both scenarios. This was a beautiful car. I visited Martin Car Museum in Glendale, AZ today with my sister. One of the cars is a 1957 Cadillac El Dorado Brougham, four door, black. Another beautiful car, but unfortunately it was locked up! I could only wistfully look though its windows to try to get a feel for it. Oh well…I’m going back sometime in the future.

@@What.its.like. I think you should add it on. It gives more of a feel of the car.

[@slicksnewonenow]

I don't know why, but the 1957 Cadillac line SPECIFICALLY says "Rock N Roll Cadillac" to me. Even though the '58s were cool, they just don't seem as cool as the 57's do (to me). Especially the standard-bodied cars like the Series 62, the Deville and the Fleetwood. The 58's just seem TOO heavy. And that '57 Eldorado is truly something else. I think they were stretching it with all the extra chrome on the '58. Then there were the Broughams... '57-'60... All incredibly Space Age. By the way... Whoever restored that particular car WASN'T fooling around. It looks absolutely brand new in every respect.

I’ve been looking for a 57 Lincoln premier I’m still looking those are really hard to find really want to cover more 50s cars. I went to a car show today and just drove through. It was a big car show but I get disappointed every time I go because all the cars that I’m into are not at regular shows.

[@montymatilda]

These cars were the ultimate in prestige for the time, if you had the money. I wonder why they deleted the rear bumper from 56 to 57. Definitely an expensive place to get hit. To me though, these Eldorados of the 50s seem to be a little awkward looking. Cadillac, got to be more ostentatious than Lincoln and Imperial. I particularly like the extra camera footage at the end of your videos. I hope you keep doing that.

[@JefferyHall-ct2tr]

Hi Jay! Have tp admit I DON"T like the front end styling of the 1957 or 1958 Cadillac. Why in the world Harley's boys decided to push the Dagmars/Bumperettes up into where the hood opens is beyond me. The rest of the car looks GOOD. I think they just missed it on the front end. Trying to be cute and make it even MORE aggressive looking. To be absolutely truthful, I like the GAUDY 1959 better. It may be that I am a BIG fan of the 1953-56 models. They look like CADILLACS to me. That being said, that '57 is gorgeous on the inside! I bet that would be SO comfortable to drive around in! The ride must be great! If only you could get in and drive without looking at the front end!! WYR#1 1957 Lincoln Premiere LOVE that design! If you look closely you will see styling cues from the Lincoln Futura show car (later on to become the 1966 Batmobile). #2 1956! That one is SWEET!

Never seen this one before; I'd have remembered that hideous looking rear end. The details and amenities are top level, but you'd expect that from a car which cost as much as a small house.I wonder if an AM/FM radio was available back then? That would be the only thing missing here. The beginning of the "Chromemobile era" this one is at the top, not over the top like coming cars would be. WYR the Packard looks good in that color and to me the 56 Eldorado is the epitome of Cadillac styling

[@slicksnewonenow]

I don't remember seeing an AM/FM radio in anything until about 1959... And even then, the radios themselves were rare to be *AM/FM*... Instead, there'd be an AM radio in the dash and there'd be an added-on FM head unit under the dash, with it's own tuning knob. I'm pretty sure it was Chrysler that offered the first inclusive AM/FM dash units, though. But don't quote me... My memory is failing with age😢 Cheers

He was the owner of Clipper petroleum company, the distributor for American oil products. His wife always had a new Fleetwood 60S or Brougham.
