1953 Cadillac
By Ghia
Formerly owned by Rita Hayworth

By the time this car was built Giacinto Ghia had been deceased for nearly ten years and Carrozzeria Ghia was being run by Luigi Segre. Among the designers working there during this period were Giovanni Michelotti, Pietro Frua, Giovanni Savonuzzi, and Felice Boano. This car was one of two built on a Cadillac chassis for the 1953 Paris Auto Salon and was purchased new by Aly Khan as a gift for Rita Hayworth. So highly regarded was the design that it was featured on the cover of the January, 1955 issue of Road & Track magazine.

Collection of Margie and Robert E. Petersen
