GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS, RARE COLLECTOR'S PIECE! The 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham is a hand-built, Limited-Edition (only "400" built in 1957) four-door hardtop sedan with the "Suicide Doors Feature" (for additional comfort with easy ingress and egress). The Brougham featured America's first completely pillarless four-door body styling. The ventipanes were electrically controlled. The Brougham was further distinguished by a brushed stainless steel roof, the first appearance of quad headlights, totally unique trim and the first full-fledged fins that would grow enormously in future models. Each feature of the Brougham, as the car itself, was designed to improve comfort, safety and convenience for the driver and passengers. The car came with an extensive array of options and equipment. The 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham has often been compared to the 1956-1957 Continental Mark II. It has even been said that the Brougham was GM's response to Ford's second-generation Continental. This ultra-luxury car retailed in 1957 for an astonishing price of $13,074. Twice the price of any other 1957 Eldorado and more than the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud of the same year. Finished in Ebony Black with Brushed Stainless Steel Roof, Interior Trim Code 444 - Beige Plain Broad Cloth and with Beige Leather Upholstery. A very powerful and torquey Dual four-barrel V-8 365 cubic inch / 325 HP engine *** Air Ride Suspension* whitewall tires * automatic trunk lid opener & closer *automatic "memory" seat * Cruise Control * high-pressure cooling system * polarized sun visors * Signal-Seeking twin speaker radio * electric antenna * automatic-release parking brake * electric door locks * dual heating system * automatic starter (with re-start function) * Autronic-Eye * drum-type electric clock * power windows * forged aluminum wheels * air conditioning * THIS CAR IS TRULY A SHOW QUALITY VEHICLE.

OMGYES.

The car that blew everything anyone else made up to that point (and long afterwards) out of the water.

There's no way this car could ever earn a legitimate 'jeers'.

Possibly the best car I have seen in the Cheers or Jeers section.

WoW. I've only seen one of these in person, they are pretty incredible... I'd love to see one of the '59 or '60s..
