Appearing as a show car at the 1955 Motorama, the Eldorado Brougham was derived from the 1953 and 1954 Park Avenue and Orleans concept cars. Along with the original 1953 Eldorado, it represents one of the pinnacles of Harley Earl's artistry. With its lowered stance thanks to a new chassis, its four-headlight grille, and its sharp fins, it helped test Cadillac's aesthetic choices for the second half of the 1950s. A quintessential "dream car," it was only built from 1957 onward to compete with the Lincoln Continental Mark II, launched a year earlier.

Apparue comme " show car " au Motorama de 1955, l'Eldorado Brougham dérive des concept cars Park Avenue et Orleans de 1953 et 1954. Elle constitue avec la première Eldorado de 1953 l'un des sommets de l'art de Harley Earl. Avec sa ligne surbaissée grâce à un nouveau châssis, sa calandre à quatre phares et ses ailerons aiguisés, elle contribuera à tester les partis pris esthétiques de Cadillac pour la seconde moitié des années cinquante. " Dream car " par excellence, elle ne sera construite à partir de 1957 que pour riposter à la Lincoln Continental Mark II lancée un an plus tôt.
