Cruising in Jönköping last night

[tom406]

That IS a special one. Its a '57 or '58 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham. They were very much factory customs, with 4dr hardtop styling, suicide doors, air suspension, and brushed stainless steel roofs. They only made 704 of them during those two years of production. Why so exclusive? The cars listed price in 1957 was $13,074! You could have bought a Coupe DeVille for the wife, a Bel Air hardtop for yourself, and a Vette for weekends for about the same total money.

They made Cadillac Broughams for two more years, but they were substantially redesigned. They made about 200 during '59/'60, with final assembly farmed out to Pininfarina. Same $13K nosebleed price.

Neat cars Anders! I may have to visit one of these years. I like the mix of a foreign land with this hard core American car culture, both musclecars and 50's rods. Thanks for sharing!

Cool shots Anders. Thanks for showing us how the Swedes do it. How much longer before the cruising season is over?

Very cool pics, love seeing muscle cars no matter where they are in the world! Must be getting cold over there already? Most people are wearing long pants and jackets!

Temperature was around 55 to 60 degrees F during the cruising so you really needed pants. Ofcourse there where still chicks with very little clothes.

I would say that the cruising season is over by now. There aren´t any big meetings left to attend this year.

Here is another Cadillac Eldorado Brougham in Sweden. This one is a 58. The pictures were taken in 1977. Bengt Nilsson who owned it was a very talented Classic Chevy restorer. Mabye he brought it with him when he later moved to the United States.
