1958 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham project- will it run- walkaround pt.1

This is the first video about the start-up of the car. It's probably going to be a longer project. In this video I present the car and do a walk around it and talk a little about its history what I know so far. In the next video I will try to investigate more the condition of the car and what could have happened to it.

Is that the Cadillac with the stainless steel roof? If so, very, very rare. Some of these year Cadilacs cost more than the same year Rolls Royce when they were new

Thank you for sharing this in videos, its exciting to see and inspiring to keep restoring my own car

I make parts for these cars, new hood springs are some of them. I have #615.

This is such a rare car! You had to be a really rich person back in the day to have this car, it would be like the equivalent to a Maybach in today's cars.

Cool car, cool car project. I'm doing a '66 Ford Fairlane. Subscribed. Well done.

[scottkerns]

Great project. I'm looking forward to this car's journey in your garage.

Congratulations on your recent acquisition! What a joy it will be to watch the progress you make with it! Having lived in Beverly Hills, California during the 1990's, I'm well familiar with the "Casa de Cadillac" dealership, which is still in business today! I've subscribed to your channel, and look forward to being a frequent visitor!

You've studied these, so you'll know that the 59' and 60 certainly are very different and were made at Pininfarina in Turin Italy. Dad had a 60.
My grandfather bought a brand new 58' and a 57 Eldorado Biarritz for my grandmother a year earlier. He liked her motor with the dual quads so much that he traded his 58' for a 57'! Hah! He really loved these cars. My father would cruise around Springfield Illinois in the late 50s early 60s in these with his buddies. The traffic police would actually stop the oncoming traffic and let them through, for they were convinced that it was a governor or senator etc. driving it! LOL! 😄

It always baffles me when such magnificent automobiles such as this end up trashed like this one - like the note said "what happened?"

[stevehamilton]

Good luck on that! Personally, I’d like to see more on the challenger…maybe some up-grades…or whatever. I get it tho, sometimes you need a change of pace 👍. You plan any changes for the cad ?

[mooneyessweden]

Now there is a real challenge to restore.... ;) Kul att du har lyckats hitta en riktig Brougham :) Antar att du varit i Säter och inspekterat den som finns där ? Mvh Håkan
