1959 Eldorado Brougham
The Brougham was now incorporated into the line as a limited production car. It was built and styled by Pinin Farina of Italy and was far different in character from the 1957-58 design. A vertical crest medallion with Brougham script plate appeared on the front fenders and a single, thin molding ran from front to rear along the mid sides of the body. Styling on this car was not as radical as in the past and predicted the 1960-62 themes used on other regular production Cadillacs.
The standard equipment list was pared down to match those of other Eldorados plus Cruise Control, Autronic Eye, air conditioning, and E-Z-Eye glass.
