For years Cadillac was the epitome of American luxury, a sign that the owner enjoyed wealth and success.

In a feature on fifties Cadillacs we noted: "Without our appetite for US-made films and TV shows, most Australians wouldn’t recognise a 1950s Cadillac or understand its symbolism.

"Filmmakers unashamedly used these cars as metaphors for success. Whether carrying the hero or villain, an elegant or imposing Cadillac was often used by characters with attributes similar to the car’s. Vito Corleone’s funeral procession in The Godfather has virtually a complete set of 1950s and 1960s models and Marilyn Monroe’s favourite was a black 1955 model Eldorado."

This example is said to have undergone a restoration in 2015 and now rides on Foose rims. It's with John Conroy in Brisbane, priced at $74,990. Tel 07 3171 1987.
