Admiring the car offered here, one would be hard-pressed to predict its origins as anything but Alfa Romeo in the early 1950s. Only its very American size and presence belie it roots, as do the subtle Cadillac script and badging. Underneath its design, the creation of Ghia principal Luigi Segre, is the same Series 62 the average neighborhood banker drove to work in 1953. Such is the power of a coachbuilder to make over a car’s entire personality, transforming a staid Cadillac into something of sensual flash and dash.
