Our friend John Jackson is back at it with another great feature shoot video, but this time it’s with something even more rare than his norm. This 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham is one of just 400 built in ’57, with another 304 built in 1958. These cars were the most expensive car in the United States at the time, with a price tag just north of $13,000. Keep in mind that an Eldorado Barritz was just over $7,000 at the time, and that was an ultra high end machine. But this one right here is something at a whole other level. It’s not a restoration, but rather a reimagining if you will and we love it.
Check out John’s video from the photo shoot of this machine. The church parking lot is certainly a great backdrop.
Check it out and let us know what you think about this machine. Does it bother you that they painted the stainless roof?
Video Description:
Stopped in Bristol Tennessee to Photograph Rutterz Rodz latest Custom Car Build this 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham that they modified for the Doyle Thomas collection.
I first saw the car in Texas when Mike brought it to Texas Goodguys Show in Fort Worth Texas. Even with the bad weather Mike walked away with the coveted “Custom Rod of the Year” Finalist nomination in the quest to be part of their “Top 12”.
I actually photographed it twice this evening once for Goodguys, and this photoshoot was for the print publication “Modern Rodding”.
