I recently uncovered some 1957-58 Eldorado Brougham parts and was wondering if there is a way to figure which car they came from? I dont know enough about the Broughams. I havent bought them yet partly because I dont own a Brougham (yet!).
Any clues? Special casting numbers etc. I know its along shot but thought I might be able to help Yann with the Brougham surivior list at the very least.
Thanks guys.

Shane, some trim parts have the body number written with a yellow marker on a hidden place, like door trim panels or similar parts. On chrome trim, there are no indications. As I had to buy some parts to complete my own 57 Brougham, the parts I installed were not different than the parts I had to discard.

ah..thanks Roger. Makes sense. They would be just another production item I guess.
Ill have go thru them and see what I can see! I really love that fact theat Yann put up the body numbers. Amazing what is left and yet to be found!

You also might be able to figure it out, or narrow it down, if you know the exterior color or interior colors and materials.
