After 1945, Jaques Saoutchik went right back into his coachbuilding business and created some of his most flamboyant designs. This Cadillac is a great example, and one of the first American chassis he created a body and interior for.

The most characteristic trait of this car is the sweeping two tone fenders that are accentuated by huge chrome accents. These lines help hide the enormous size of the car by breaking it up into several levels. 

Only two of these cars were ever made, and both for the American market. The first was finished in black over violet with black cloth soft top and matching black and violet interior. It was first ordered by Paul Kassoff but quickly made it into the hands of Louis Ritter. The second car was much more vibrant with a white and violet paintjob featuring hatch work on the doors. This car was made for Hollywood star Dolores del Rio.
