Thanks for sharing the pictures of this automotive design beauty. Very sleek to the eye, and striking, with bold coloration.

Price Ali Khan ( he always griped that the press spelled it Aly ) gave this car to his wife, movie actress, Rita Hayworth in 1953. At that time, he was considered to be the most wealthy man in the world. Their marriage was not going well and she divorced him not long after receiving the car. The talk was that he was using the car in an effort to keep her in the marriage. Didn't work out.

This car is a 1953 Cadillac Series 62, bodied by the Italian firm of Ghia. Up until the latter '50s, Detroit would ship a chassis to a custom house to finish the car...body and all appointments, Cadillac was chosen in this case because of the powerful engine and reliable drive train. Other custom firms often employed were Pinin Farina of Italy, Saoutchik of Paris, and Coachcraft of Hollywood.

This car is stunning.

Thanks for the visit. These shots were buried in some of my older archives I was reviewing. They were probably taken 8 or 9 years ago.

That is one very smart looking Cadillac Tom. It does not look over 70 years old.

Richard.

Hi, Richard.

I'm glad you dropped by...it's always a pleasure to have you visit. The famous Petersen Museum owned the car when I shot it....I guess they still do. You can bet it is a pampered vehicle.
