Car Body #288


As of May 21, 2025, this is the information we have about this car:

[Feb.01.2017] Car #288 is owned by CLC member Ronnie Branch; it has recently undergone a full restoration; the pics, below, speak for themselves! Formerly shown here were three photos of a red/red car It turns out that this was NOT car #288, which has been recently (May,2008) the subject of an exchange of messages on the CLC Forum. Ronnie wrote: This car has never been red. I did see that in the Cadillac Database but they must have the pictures in the wrong spot. When I got this car 5 years ago it was an ugly purple with green interior. Now it has all blue interior; it has gone through a nut & bolt restoration and has taken us 5 years to get to this point. But we are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. It has all been worth it. It's been very expensive but, it's very beautiful. The photos of the (erroneous) red car have been moved to the section, below, showing surviving '53 Eldorados still requiring positive identification.
