Lot #715.1 - This striking Eldorado is the product of a frame-off, every nut-and-bolt expert build by John Ecclesine of Ecclesine's Auto Restorations in Ramona, CA. Finished in 1998, it won Best of Show at the Deer Park Concours of '98 in Escondido, CA, and is as crisp and fresh now as it was the day it was completed. No expense was spared, as is evidenced by its beautiful Aztec Red finish, excellent body panels and fitment, dazzling chrome and sparking wire wheels. The dramatic leather upholstery, supplied by Jenkins, shows the highest standard of craftsmanship, and the sophisticated interior features an equally impressive finish, power accessories, gleaming brightwork and tinted sun visors. The gorgeous black cloth soft-top is power-operated and comes with a proper parade boot, and the exterior trim, bumpers and correct emblems are beyond reproach. With its original V8 engine and automatic transmission, the engine bay and undercarriage are finished to match the quality of the best automobiles at any concours. From the John Staluppi Cars of Dreams Collection.
