Rita Hayworth's Cadillac

The car was originally built on spec by the Italian coachbuilder Ghia. At the time, Ghia was trying to diversify its market with a styling and custom program targeted at non-European platforms to bring in new customers. It had already looked stateside and built a few Chrysler projects, which were well received in the U.S. and abroad (you may recall the beautiful Chrysler Ghia cars starting in 1951). Encouraged by its earlier success, Ghia designed and built this Cadillac for display in its booth at the 1953 Paris Auto Salon. We can assume the hope was to woo Cadillac into ordering a bunch of them. That never happened, but the car did catch the attention of Prince Aly Kahn.

Right now? Easy choice - the car (Rita's been dead for 30 years)
Back then? Another easy choice - Rita

In the words of the late, great George Jones: "it ain't the car I want, it's the brunette in your cadillac that turns me on"...

Wow.
That's a beautiful Cadillac. It would go well next to the 1959 Eldorado that I also want.
