• 1955 Cadillac Convertible - 331/250 HP, Automatic

      In 1955 nothing on American roads was as regal in bearing as the new Cadillac convertible, a judgment that still holds true today in the likes of this absolutely dazzling Red beauty. Brilliantly restored in frame-off fashion in 2004, it features among its many attractions a new 2-tone Red and Cream leather interior by renowned Cadillac restoration specialists Jenkins Interiors. The quality of the work has resulted in Best of Show honors at both the 2005 Cadillac National in Des Moines and the AACA Grand National at Dover, and a class award at the equally prestigious Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance in 2006.
