     So I'm in need a person that lives in Florida that has either 57 or 58  Eldorado Brougham that is complete, as close to a original car to physically look at. I am currently at the point of putting all the electrics back on. So there are things where if you see it in person and not some pictures that some one else besides you took will make sense. The progress of this restoration has slowed big time since the original person that took the whole car and I mean everything retired.
      I live on the west coast of Florida in the town of Port Charlotte. The car resides there too. Willing to drive to look at and if can take pictures and videos of your Eldo Brougham. This would help us Tremendously. 
thanks again James 9412680969

George Nolan in Florida has a 1957 Eldo Brougham that he restored himself. We're featuring his car in the September issue of The Self-Starter. His contact information is in the directory.

James, I'm sure you will get a Brougham in Florida to look at. You could look at mine; unfortunately, I'm a little bit far away...Anyway, if you have questions like "what is this part" I probably can help as I restored my #230 myself.
You missed the GN in Florida: there were 6 Brougham! (or 7?)
Good luck!

So how far do you live away from here? I'm willing to drive a good distance. And for the GN the car was suppose to finished but due to the man that started this restoration retired a year ago; now we are shooting for next year. Every nut and bolt has been went over and over. Everything came apart, and so for the two new guys on the car have to play detective with what the first guy did. He has a bitter taste in his mouth towards helping us.

I'm living in Switzerland...Maybe a good incentive to make some vacation here?
