G'day Barry,
     Those are fabulous family snapshots.  Wonderful memories no doubt. I do remember you posting a few of these previously but this time some new ones that I had not seen.
     Just looking at your pics makes me sing Paul Simon's "Kodachrome". Me singing makes the kids yell "DAD STOP!"
     Those gleaming all red interiors are just incredible. I am slowly restoring a 53 Eldo with a red and white int and a 57 Biarritz with an all red int. Can't wait. Thanks for sharing. Q

Thanks, Quentin, I have foggy memories of the 55 but remember the 57 well, as we had it until 1960. The red interiors are awesome, and you're restoring BOTH my Dream Cars !!!Have a 58 Biarritz, but really prefer the 57 ! He never bought an Eldorado, but had a 53 convertible before I was born !

This is my brother being held by my mother around 1958 with their 1951(?) funeral limousine. Help me out there with the car's year.

My sister and I on the hood of Dad's 1973 limousine.  The 2nd shot is my sister with "Big Black," our 1960 limousine that was our family car until 1966. This car had the landau roof and the "S" bar on the C pillars.

Very nice family pictures. Always fun to look at. I have been trying to watch the movie "It started with Eve" as mentioned by Barry Wheeler to try and spot the 1941 67 Series. No luck with the few clips on the internet. I guess I will have to spring for the DVD or wait for TCM to air it.  Steve, in a lot of cases the star cars were actually owned by the movie companies. I tried to research my car through them but no luck. Most of the state registration records only go back a short time and even if they were older I'm sure with all of the privacy laws they would not be helpful. I did find out the second owner of my car was The Stanley Hotel in Colorado from the late 40s to 1956. They used it as a livery car for guests. It is always fun to keep looking.     Harry

On the other hand (and my wife just HATES it when I do this) I watched the British Mini-TV Series "Restless" last week and, with my irritation raised by the fact that Hayley Atwell as the young main star had brown eyes, by the time she grew up , as Charlotte Rampling they were those outstandingly unique grey/blue/hazel/green eyes and I then had to watch Hayley Atwell driving around in a 1946 Cadillac..... on the eve of Pearl Harbour!

And don't forget the 1948 cheaper GM brand convertible that was featured a lot.

That and the Cadillac stood out.

Sure did, Bruce. Glad there's another old dinosaur around to pick these things up!

"The 1957 bubble-top Seville was also made for a similar royal visit to Canada (photos of finished car attached).  It is not known to have survived ... but keep looking!"

Yann , The Bubble top Seville was actually a Biarritz. Also has modified bucket seats. A few months back here on the forum , the son of the Canadian gentleman who fabricated the  plexiglass top  was seeking info on the car.
