Cadillac Eldorado '59-60 by Chuck Jordan?

Locked for Renan_ for 24 hours.

A couple of pieces are still missing. 

Chuck Jordan is not the coachbuilder of this Cadillac.  The model name is more specific than Eldorado.

The 1959 and 1960 models look different.

As has been said in other puzzles, nothing is as simple as it may appear.

1959 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham by Pininfarina.  Built in very limited numbers.

A point for you Renan_

Pininfarina built the Eldorado Brougham in 1959 and 1960.  If you look at pictures of Broughams from both years, neither one had tail lights in the tail fins.  The lower light pod of the 1960 was more oval and taller than the mostly round pod on the 1959.  The 1960 also featured another almost-tailfin, running along the lower quarter panel between the bumper and the rear wheel (yes, it is hard to describe).

Besides the roofline, the 1959 and 1960 Broughams shared several visual cues with the 1961 Cadillac when it arrived.
