Alpine White

The 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham was an ultra-exclusive, limited-production four-door flagship, with just 400 units built at a new price of $13,074. Designed by Ed Glowacke, it introduced quad headlights, a stainless steel roof cap, suicide doors, and air suspension. This particular example retains its original Alpine White finish and blue interior, carries just over 30,000 miles, and has accumulated multiple AACA awards including First Junior, Senior, and repeated Preservation honours between 1994 and 2000.

Are you the owner of this car?

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
