1955 Cadillac Elegant Special
1955 Cadillac Elegant Special Navigation
During the 1950s, artists Harry Birdsall and Joe Mascari designed a one-off special to be built atop a stock 1953 Cadillac Series 62 convertible. The body was built by Carrozzeria Rocco Motto of Turin Italy which took more than 2 years to complete. As the name implies, this vehicle is elegant. The car features 23 karat gold, a mother-of-pearl white exterior, red wine Italian leather interior, dual headlights, tailfins, and a two-piece folding convertible hardtop. The car was completely hand-built out of aluminum.
The car made its debut at the International Auto Show at the Cross Country Center in Yonkers in April 1955. This car has remained in the Birdsall family since new and has recently been treated to a restoration by Harry Birdsall's two sons, **** and Bob.
