1958 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham
- Engine
- 365 cu in V8 with three two-barrel carburetors, 335 hp
- Colour
- Lake Placid Blue
The 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham is one of just 304 examples built in the final year of this two-year body style, representing one of the most technically ambitious American cars of its era. Delivered new to Minnesota in Lake Placid Blue over Medium Blue Bayou leather — a combination recorded for only two Broughams — it retains much of its original character and is accompanied by what appears to be a complete factory vanity kit and supporting documentation.
