With the addition today of 1957 car #176, brought to my attention by enthusiast Ron Schweitzer who stumbled upon it last month in the NATMUS Museum, located directly behind the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Museum at Auburn, IN, surviving Eldorado Broughams of 1957 through 1960 currently number 542 units, representing 60percent of the total production.

That number does not include cars that have been effectively located but are not considered readily or economically restorable.  This is a HUGE number of survivors for a production automobile of 46 to 50 years of age, no matter how limited that production (904 units in all) !!!

Happy New (50th) year to the 256 surving 1957 Eldorado Broughams !
