A rare and iconic luxury car from the 1950s, enhanced with modern performance and features—this 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham Custom Sedan is a dream come true.
Presented in a striking Maroon finish with a brushed stainless-steel roof, this Cadillac combines timeless elegance with contemporary updates. Its paint and trim are in excellent condition, the glass and lighting are pristine, and the bodywork is straight and solid. The chrome bumpers fit seamlessly, and the engine bay and cargo area are immaculate.
This masterpiece was crafted by GM legends Harley Earl and Ed Glowacke, blending show car inspirations with groundbreaking design. Highlights include a panoramic windshield, pillarless four-door hardtop with rear suicide doors, and a brushed stainless roof. Unique exterior touches like wide polished quarter panels, sculpted side body coves with horizontal windsplits, and Eldorado-style tailfins complete its sophisticated look.
Riding on BFGoodrich Silvertown white stripe radials (215/65R16) mounted on forged aluminum wheels with wire covers, this Cadillac sits atop an X-frame designed for its self-leveling air-ride suspension and four-link rear setup, a production first for its time.
Under the hood lies a modern LS-series V-8 engine from a Cadillac V-series sedan, paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. The engine features an electric cooling fan for reliability. Driver conveniences abound, including vintage air conditioning, power disc/drum brakes, power steering, power windows (including ventipanes), power locks, power sideview mirrors, and a host of innovative 1950s-era features like a six-way power seat with memory, automatic trunk opener/closer, polarized sun visors, and Autronic Eye.
Inside, the custom black interior is equally stunning, featuring fold-down bench seats, shimmering black lambskin carpet, and a maroon dashboard upgraded with a Dakota Digital gauge system. A hidden Kicker Bluetooth stereo with under-dash speakers adds modern entertainment, while period touches like dual cupholders and a comprehensive vanity set—including metal tumblers, a cigarette case, and an atomizer of Lanvin perfume—capture the essence of 1950s luxury.
This Cadillac comes with extensive documentation, including the original owner’s manual, service guides, AirRide catalog, Dakota Digital installation guide, parts lists, and folders detailing the powertrain upgrade. It also includes two sets of keys and other memorabilia.
This 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham seamlessly marries its rich history with modern amenities, making it a standout choice for collectors and enthusiasts seeking the ultimate in style, luxury, and performance.

Thanks for asking. The air ride has been updated with new technology. We do not have the year the motor is from but there should be something on the paperwork we have listed. Starts and runs without any problems
