Auto Restoration 911 - 57 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham

Truly a classic, Cadillac only produced the Brougham model of the Eldorado from 1957-1960 making it a rare collectible. In this video, our skilled Guild metal-workers use some TLC, ingenuity, knowledge and elbow grease to replace the hood. In this video - bead rolling.

Nice, the brougham's coachwork were hand-built in Italy to my recollection, I've seen some $200K+ retro mods, with all new everything but still, keep true to the coachwork......There was an auction this year that SOLD a CADMAD made from a 1959 Brougham to resemble a Chevy Nomad wagon, it SOLD for $295,000.00 including commission..WOW!

The italian built cars were the later models. You can tell them straight away by the hood which doesn't extend to the front of the car.

The Broughams are actually 3/4 the size of a regular 57 Caddy. We had one in the shop a few years ago which had been parked in a wet shed for years. Every single thin on that car has been rebuilt.The cost was way north of $250,000......
