Huge fan of the late 50s and early 60s Cadillacs and honestly I can say I have never seen one of these El Dorado Broughams. Dazzling

Awesome Eldorado Brougham! And it is a ‘59! I thought it was a ‘60 at first but, I was wrong. Curveball! 😍

[garyruark]

The most unusual feature from standard Cadillacs is the hood opening. More Imperial like than Cadillac. Truely a beautiful automobile. My grandfather would say that is an automobile not a car.

Amazing how many in comments section don't seem to know anything about the 59 Brougham and claim this is a 60, lol. Then again they are rare as hen's teeth, so perhaps we forgive. I can only imagine the restoration cost or what was essentially a hand built automobile. The chassis interchanges, but very little else. The interior is mostly bespoke as well.

Wow, I knew quite a bit about the 57/58 Eldorado Broughams but I never really knew of the 59/60. I like this one much better than the other ‘59 Cadillac models. Its no where near as gaudy and flamboyant. Vey cool!

This Eldorado Brougham is 1959. No panel on this car will interchange with any other 59 Cadillac or 1960 models. Mainly because 59 Brougham panels were all hand made/beaten/moulded. Dimensionally there were differences, door lengths, width of headlight brows and longer from headlight glass to the end of the brow and many other smaller details unique only to this Brougham. GM Cadillac had, had it's fun, it was time to begin moving in another direction. The 1960 Cadillac's overall look showed similarities to this Brougham. Fins now began to decline in height. . . .The party was over. The 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham has a fascinating story, how, why, who. Though only if your a car nut like me. Great video, keep up the good work. KIWI

Amazing how many of you Cadillac ‘experts’ don’t know what this is. You should do your home work before you open your mouth and say it’s not a 59. It’s the rarest lowest production 59 model made, the frames were shipped to Italy and the bodies custom made by Pininfarina. Only 99 were built.

My grandfather drove a Cadillac that looked just like this one back in the day.

U S A. 1950 -- 1960 the Best.

[timemarcheson]

my grandfather in the 60s used to refer to cars as Machines ;)

[WannabeOverlander]

Engine maintenance on this model is a nightmare because the hood is so small.
I wonder about that sheet in front.

[angelfigueroa]

Not 59 almost 60 and Im owner a Cadillac 1965 Deville. The 59 have the most high tail ever made. Very impressed your 60th Cadillac

This is a mostly unknown Cadillac, a marketing exercise in 1959 to one-up their competition with Lincoln. Otherwise it wasn't sold to the public or put on display in dealerships. They were sold to famous wealthy people to bolster Cadillac's reputation as the most expensive Cadillac and as a hand built car styled in Italy. As I recall only 100 were built. Today it is used by jerks on the internet to start arguments as to whether it is a 1959 or a 1960. The styling was adopted to style the mass produced 1960 model Cadillacs. I've been going to antique car shows and museums for over 50 years and I've never actually seen one. Personally I have no interest in this marketing weapon between Cadillac and Lincoln, since both brands are just rebadged Chevrolet's and Ford's, especially the clunky SUV models.

When Made in Usa was the simbol of quality and glamor .I miss thats GOLDEN days of this beautifull American country.

[NadeemKhan-kykg]

There is no “Italian styling” in this car. They were designed in the USA by Dave Holls in Detroit. It’s a spectacular car. I own #86 of the 101 made in 1960. I’ve never seen a ‘59 Eldorado Brougham in real life.

No chips from China needed to produce this Car 🇺🇸
