At the pinnacle of America's luxury car market, GM's Cadillac Division went from strength to strength during the postwar years, including new bodies for 1948 and a powerful new V-8 engine by 1949. Based on the El Dorado Golden Anniversary concept car that wowed visitors to GM's 1952 Motorama shows, the Series 62 Eldorado Convertible reached limited production in 1953. By 1956, the Seville 2-door hardtop joined the Eldorado series, while the Eldorado convertible was named "Biarritz." Handsomely restyled for 1957, the Eldorado featured a tuned 365 cubic-inch V-8 with twin four-barrel carburetors delivering 325 factory-rated horsepower and a standard GM Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic transmission. Just 2,100 examples of the Eldorado Seville hardtop were manufactured for 1957, priced from a lofty $7,286.
This concours-quality 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Seville is the beautifully presented product of a frame-off, nut-and-bolt total restoration with virtually no possible expense spared in the process. According to the documents and receipts on file, an estimated $370,000 was invested in the Seville's restoration. Power is delivered by Cadillac,s proprietary 365 CI V-8 engine, uprated to a factory-rated 325 HP with Eldorado-specific dual-carburetors under a factory "Batwing" air cleaner, paired to a Hydra-Matic automatic transmission.
Finished in distinctive Copper Metallic paint, accented by a Brown padded vinyl roof and Gold-finished front and rear emblems, the Seville features a correct Copper and Gold 2-tone leather and cloth interior. Features and options are numerous, including the Eldorado-standard power front seat and power windows. Other highlights include air conditioning, power brakes and steering, a stainless steel dual exhaust system, and Sabre-spoke wheels mounting wide Whitewall radial tires.
Accompanying items include a car cover and various spare parts, plus an owner's manual, Cadillac new car specifications manual, and a framed photo and description of the vehicle. Rare, HANDSOMELY PRESENTED, and powerful, this 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Seville benefits from full sorting, road-testing, and detailing, making it ideal for the show/concours lawn and enjoyment as desired.
