speedyman_2 Posted April 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Was that a 1932 Cadillac V12? I'm not sure. But, I know it was a Cadillac and it was a V12. Most likely was a '32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmac-etc Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Anyone stop by any car shows lately?? I want to see some pics if you have any! If you find yourself in between San Francisco and San Jose on the 3rd w/e of June, seek out the Palo Alto Concours ... '55 Eldo Another Eldorado, and yes, that roof is stainless steel. Info from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_Eldorado#1957: 1957 was chiefly notable, though, for the introduction of one of GM's most memorable designs, the Eldorado Brougham. This four-door hardtop with rear-opening rear doors was an ultra-luxury car that cost an astonishing $13,000+, more than the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud of the same year. It featured a stainless steel roof, air suspension, the first dual headlights, the first memory power seats, and every possible kind of appearance and convenience feature that GM's most inventive minds could devise. This design ran for two years and of course sold in very small quantities (704 units in total) owing to the price. It has been estimated that GM lost $10,000 on every one, but these virtually hand-assembled cars are today among the rarest and most collectible of all postwar American models. This lady went home with me! And if you get tired of Cadillac's ... well there were hundreds of greats cars ... a couple examples: Ever see a Corvette Nomad?? OK, I will stop with this .... also at Palo Alto ...
