The car was built with no expense spared, including 24K gold plating in the rear compartment and no expense spared in the meticulous restoration. It is a fiberglass body, built on a 129.5″ wheelbase; 55.5″ high and 219.9″ long. This vehicle never had an engine and is the same way today.

This Dream Car has been appraised by two separate companies, one at over $900,000.

It was the feature car, on a turntable inside the banquet hall, at Cadillac’s 100th Anniversary event in Dearborn, Michigan in 2002. This is one of GM’s most famous and most photographed Dream Cars. This automobile is like stepping back in time to the 1956 Waldorf Astoria Show in NYC or the Paris Exhibition. It is perfect in every detail.
