1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham
Personal story and photograph submitted by owner J. Lannen
for participation in the the 2008 GM Century Cruise
I am a retired GM ex, who has a great love and passion for cars and the most for GM cars. I have had them for 50 years. I have 6 Corvettes: one of each generation and have had Vettes every year since 1961. But my pride and joy is a car that is GM's most outstanding production car - a 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham. I am the second owner and have had it for 20 years. I have original paperwork and all the vanities. It has 27,000 miles on it and won many awards including the Concours d'Elegance at Meadowbrook, Concours d'Elegance at Cranbrook and Eyes on Design. It resides most of the time at GM's Heritage Center...
GM’s Century Cruise pays tribute to GM’s past and the passion owners have for their vehicles. On Saturday, August 16, 2008 this vehicle and more than 100 other classic GM vehicles will cruise from the GM Global Headquarters at the Renaissance Center up Woodward Avenue to the heart of the Woodward Dream Cruise in Royal Oak and the surrounding suburbs. One of these vehicles will be crowned “top cruiser” based on a text voting campaign.
