Very close: It's not 1955 (see picture below) but 1954, and the radios are very close. So I'm giving you the point and we'll avoid beating around the bush, like:
- Close! You're just one year wrong...
- 1956 maybe?
- Nooooooo.... Look the other way around....
- Oh, I see! 1954!

But you'll have to wait until this group puzzle is completely solved to get it.

That's fine with me! At least I know I have a Point coming my way...thank you!!!

I had a feeling it wasn't a '55. It looked "older" than a '57 or '58, so I ruled those out. I ruled out early 50s because it looked newer than those. So, I guessed '55....

An iron and ironing board are not the only luxury fixtures car #6 has: pull the gizmo stacked behind the center armest and an electric barbecue comes out ! Quite handy.

At last again! Although it wasn't so easy, there are lots of pictures of Louis Mattar's Cadillac on the internet: except Popular Mechanics, I believe you can find some in Life (trough Google), and possibly SIA (through the Hemmings blog). They're all worthwhile.

Now this one would be solved, and all the points tallied, if someone would be kind enough to give us the year of the Hudson interior.

The Hudson is from a 1951 brochure

Well done. The answer was in a brochure, of course.

Ehhxekt 6 points

metalshapes and pnegyesi 2 points
