The 1950s were all about bigger and better. And nothing was bigger or better than the 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham. It was the most expensive Cadillac the factory every built. But was it worth it?
In this edition of Automotive Revolution, Rick DeBruhl Rick explores the 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham, a hand-assembled luxury car that cost more than a new Rolls-Royce. Learn about innovative features like a stainless steel roof, magnetic drinking tumblers, and quad headlights that pushed the boundaries of automotive design and cost.
Only 400 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Broughams were made in 1957. This one is powered by a 365 cubic inch engine making 325 horsepower and mated to a GM Hydra-Matic 4-speed transmission. The car features suicide doors and self-leveling air suspension.
