1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham

[@workonitm8]

My all time favorite car! It was love at first sight!

[@62DAP]

To me, the most beautiful vehicle ever produced. Thank you for the video and for allowing so many of us to share the magnificence of that automobile.

[@denischambrelent8286]

With Chrystler Imperial and first Corvette!

[@betherealdeal]

Thank you so much for sharing. It is the most beautiful car in the world. I hope to own one one of these days..Gosh what a beauty.

[@Sedan57Chevy]

I don't know what to say....amazing car and a great video. It's nice to see these beautiful cars out on the highways instead of just living in trailers and garages. Every time I see one of these old American cars, whether it's a Cadillac or a Ford or anything in between, it makes me happy to know that there's other people who still love the cars I love.

[@이택건-b9v]

A symbol of success

[@BSF111]

[@darrylpreston5066]

Keep....(em)---Safe>!

[@johntechwriter]

This was Cadillac's reply to the '56 Continental Mk II.

[@TechWizard28]

I fell in love with this car ever sense the bridgestone commercial, and I'm not even a fan of 50's cars, but the lines and shape of this one, idk I love it

[@FrankGutowski-ls8jt]

We had a ‘59 but not an El Dorado. We were a Caddy and Buick neighborhood.

[@nomebear]

There was a pecking order in the town that I grew up in. Respectable contractors, farmers, and store owners drove "anything but" a Cadillac, Lincoln, or Imperial. Only the physicians, lawyers, and bootleggers drove high end luxury cars. Others in the higher end of the social ladder drove '98s, Roadmasters, Chrysler New Yorkers, Ford 500, T-Birds, Impala's and Bonneville. The cops drove Dodge and Plymouth. If you were middle class you drove anything used that you could afford. European cars were uncommon because the air conditioning wasn't up to the south Texas heat, they overheated, and they were unreliable. There's nothing worse than breaking down out in the middle of nowhere driving something that no one knows how to work on.

[@adamdrl]

i didnt know they still make them, it looks like a new car ;-) more please

[@hollbri2]

what a beauty-the best car ever!!!!

[@daved1974]

good God what a beauty a true classic hard to believe that car sold for $13,074.00 new for both 57-58

[@v8berenguer372]

Built to last!

[@exmeasententia5528]

My uncle had a late 50's Cadillac. At the base of the driver-side pillar there was a slide mechanism that moved horizontally. As a kid I could never figure out what it did -- there was no label on it. I noticed your Eldo has it. Slake my curiosity after all these years -- what the hell does it do?

[@loufalce]

@LillithCarmichael ...It was probably just a cut above the base model, but it still was a good buy. The "lower line" Cadillacs went out the door for about 5200.00, but they were fairly well equiped. The most expensive option was air conditioning, and it set you back about 600.00. But remember, everything was relative to the time and the economy. Although that sounds excellent today, it still was expensive, even in 1950s money. 40 years from now, I`ll say I bought a Honda Civic for 21,000!

[@joe6096]

This Eldorado Brougham sold for $13,000 in 1957!!!! That's $121,000 today!!

[@itsmegp46]

If you compare this car with what was coming out of Japan back in 1957, I agree.

[@pompom11]

nice, you found some of the Vanities I found the perfume at a yard sale in Florida, unopened. . great car..

[@conradsunkiojack2538]

Set out the white cream dinner jacket and best knit shimmering ladies gowns. It's a night on the town!👍👏✌️

[@gregfair1749]

Just gorgeous!!!!!!

[@chesterthawkins7510]

The best of the best!

[@javohio]

Pleeeeease, return the exhaust system to original.

[@kiheisun]

@Trev0r812005 Thanks - that's a sweet ride..

[@JOEYP1970]

That is a speaker grille for the radio.Yup alotta people asked me if that was a heater vent....nope, theres a speaker behind that grille.

[@betherealdeal]

GM makes JUNK? Yeah right....okay. There is no single Japanese car that can come even close to this magnificence.

[@1966gto1000]

A showstopper! I've only seen one of these..ever...in a show! Interesting was the cigarette and booze dispensers that went with the car. BTW, isn't that a '55 I see in the driveway at the end of the video?

[@exmeasententia5528]

Question: At 1:44 there is a lever on the door panel shown. My aunt had a late 50's Caddy and as a kid I could never figure out what it did. After all these years, can you solve the mystery for me?

[@stanbernadino]

My favorite 50's car

[@mrsaudazhar]

i love this car.

[@HarmlessKittyWithUzi]

How Much Do you Want For It?

[@acts2211]

Gem

[@DouglasUrantia]

This car is like sex on wheels!

[@loufalce]

@daved1974 ...Yeah, but a new Chevy well equiped cost about 3400.00, if it cost that much.

[@tolanstout]

Is that an original "Fairfax Blue" (Code #126) car?

[@kiheisun]

What is the grille thing in the middle, below the dash?

[@eat_a_dick_trudeau]

Its a speaker for the radio.

[@MrNuryaman]

in my country turkey there is one,they sell it..the price 275000$....

[@yixnorb5971]

Anybody notice they mounted the chevron backwards on the air filter housing??

[@yixnorb5971]

Sorry, my mistake.

[@MrFernando2601]

Esse carro dispensa comentários....

[@steelman86]

Please check the rest of you horns in the car, sounds like possibly only one is working, when you press down on the horn ring, it should sound like the Espee daylight train coming down the road!!! If the horns are still there but not working, sometimes the tine adjuster can be screwed in or out a few times and they will work again! You are lucky to have the vanity items!! I only have the cigarette box in my 58!

[@michaelhatcher5264]

Beautiful ride classy old school Ride. But it sounds like a Locamotive.

[@Mergeriyoonjooly]

Oh, BeautiFull... ;-)

[@hflivares1824]

My favorite american car.

[@tonyd9455]

Gorgeous car. A little confused about your comment about driving it 15,000 miles cross the US. How many times did you cross it? It's about 3,000 miles from east coast to west coast,

[@tonyd9455]

+Meilenwerker That's why I asked how many times. The way he said it, sounded like it was one trip LOL

[@hagbard72]

Hear these sold for the equivalent of $100k in current dollars.

[@LillithCarmichael]

@loufalce you could buy a new Belair two door for around 2350 dollars. At least thats what my grandfather paid for his new.

[@itsmegp46]

When Lexus first introduce its LS400 back in 1988 or 1989, it was in fact the best built car available in the US at that time. Style wise, not so much. But after careful examination of the car by GM engineers, one GM spokesman said, GM does not have the engineering skills to build such a car. Of course we've caught up, that was how it went. One other fact. For about 5 years straight, consumer reports noted that a 5 yr old Lexus LS had fewer repairs than a brand new BMW 7 series.

[@WarThug13]

look at the size of that trunk. you could fit tree bodies in there

[@wendellworth353]

That thing must wallow around the road like a small dingy in ruff sea, with those conventional tires.

[@Trev0r812005]

[@jumpbluesdude]

+swoosh50 You an obvious idiot. These cars were hand built one at a time. They cost 4 times what a Corvette cost at the time.

[@swoosh50]

+Meilenwerker shhhhhh just be quite

[@cheese56194]
