1958 Cadillac Eldorado Seville
This stunning 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Seville is one of just 855 examples produced for the model year. It's powered by a 365ci V8 engine paired with a Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic transmission --- both of which were rebuilt around 2015. The odometer currently shows approximately 88,000 miles, and the engine and transmission are believed to be matching numbers.
Ownership & History
Up until approximately 2015, this Eldorado Seville is believed to have been garage-kept by its original owner, preserving its remarkable condition.

- Smaller, chrome-trimmed rear fins compared to prior model years
- Vertical chrome slashes ahead of the open rear wheel housings
- Crest medallions adorning the tail fins
The factory Sabre-Spoke wheels measure 15 inches and are fitted with American Classic wide whitewall tires. A full-size spare is stored in the trunk.
