Title: 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham
Post by: cawimmer430 on July 27, 2017, 12:50:14 PM
1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham at the Deutsches Museum in Munich. Only 398 of these were made. This one is # 321. STUNNING! One of my favorite classic Cadillacs!  :wub:

The car was behind safety glass, so I couldn't get reflection-free photos of it. Apologies for the poor quality snapshots.  :cry:

The Museum in Sinsheim has 58, and it is not behind glass. At least they did last time I was there.

Skinny whitewalls are correct.

'56 and '57 was the high point of American luxury brands.  Cadillac and Continental were among the best in the world at that time.

The '50s and '60s definitely were the great times for Cadillac and Lincoln. And as an outsider I'd also add the early to mid-1970s purely from a design standpoint. But that's just me.
