Re: OT: For experts on American cars. What car?
The Eldorados were often precursors of the next year's model. The '57 Cadillac was probably on sale from October '56 thru '57. Regards, Bob S.

Anthony is right. It's a limo, so it has to be a Fleetwood.

Re: OT: For experts on American cars. What car?
I believe its styling was derived from the Eldorados, but it's definitely the Fleetwood Series 75.

Thanks Paul, thanks Doug and JC. I thought Anthony nailed it as a Fleetwood Series 75, but I will check out the Eldorados from those years too.

RE: OT: For experts on American cars. What car?
I have no idea what it is but based on styling I'd say its between '57 and '59 inclusive whatever it is.

Re: OT: For experts on American cars. What car?
It appears to be a 1957 Cadillac, probably an Eldorado. It might be a 1958, but without looking at reference, I'd bet on '57. The styling changed every year in those days and both the 1956 and 1959 models are very different.

Re: OT: For experts on American cars. What car?
Thank you, Anthony! (And everybody else who replied.) It defnitely looks like you found it. I might add that the lady behind the car is Marilyn Monroe, probably stepping out of one of the 20th Century Fox studios, and I'm just trying to find a possible or approximate date for the shot. At first I was thinking it may have been one of her own cars, she owned and drove a few, but then I realized that it might just as well be one from a Limo service, which I know she/the studio used quite a lot. If anybody knows when this model it first hit the market you'll win a virtual Marilyn Monroe-badge.

Re: OT: For experts on American cars. What car?
Lasse, I would guess that this is a 1958 Cadillac limousine of some sort. That's based on the tail fin, and the chrome side trim. I don't think it is a regular production model. The back door, back side window, and roof line look like a longer car. Here is a picture of a similar 1958 Cadillac Sedan. http://www.misterw.com/Cadillac/58Cad4Dr04.html Regards, Bob S.
