Cadillac Series 70 Fleetwood Eldorado Brougham

Besides a distinctive stainless steel roof, this Cadillac is equipped with air conditioning, self leveling suspension, cruise control, power windows, power door locks and, as the first production car in the world, memory settings for the seat positions.

The luxury equipment includes a perfume atomizer and a make-up kit. At $14,000 this hand-built(!) Cadillac Series 70 Fleetwood Eldorado Brougham cost in 1958 twice as much as a standard Eldorado and even more than a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. Approximately 700 of these top-of-the-range cars were built. The car displayed in the museum is totally original. The Eldorado model name refers to the mythical ‘city of gold’ in South America. It was first used for a 1952 concept vehicle celebrating the Cadillac company's 50th anniversary. The name Eldorado remained in use until 2002.
