1988 Cadillac Brougham

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would regularly pay overly generous fees to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in August all offered without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

By 1988, Cadillac's Fleetwood Brougham — still riding on the traditional rear-wheel-drive, body-on-frame platform — served as the preferred foundation for America’s professional car industry, and Eureka Coach Company was among the respected names converting these chassis into formal limousines. Eureka, based in Missouri, specialized in stretching the Cadillac Commercial chassis (a reinforced variant built specifically for coachbuilders), extending the wheelbase well beyond the stock Brougham's dimensions to accommodate a formal rear passenger compartment.
