Motto?

Paul Jaray · October 20, 2009, 12:20:43 PM

How many seconds till the answer arrives?

75america · October 20, 2009, 12:40:04 PM

Are you looking for a specific name for the car, or just the Cadillac basis where it is based on like Series 60S, Series 62 or Series 75?

Paul Jaray · October 20, 2009, 12:43:39 PM

The answer is easier than you may think.
This car has a specific name.

This car has a specific name.

In that case Cadillac Convertible, Cadillac Cabriolet or Cadillac Roadster.

Or is it not THAT easy

Paul Jaray · October 20, 2009, 12:55:20 PM

Not that easy, this car has a unic, specific name.
I'll tell you later why I thought it was very easy.

1953 Cadillac Le Sales? My yesterday's research turned no results on Motto Cadillacs

Paul Jaray · October 20, 2009, 01:02:47 PM

That's it, 1955 Cadillac Le Sales by Motto.
If you google "Motto + Cadillac", it should be the 2nd result.
Well done, 1 point for you.

75america · October 20, 2009, 01:03:07 PM

Damned, alo just found the Cadillac Le Sales 1953 name on wikipedia

faksta · October 20, 2009, 01:04:19 PM

I also found it on wiki, an Italian one, but AFAIR it was a third page of Google results, not the second result.

Paul Jaray · October 20, 2009, 01:05:18 PM

I used Google.it

Ok, probably not so easy.

but only the reference not the original pic or am I blind?

faksta · October 20, 2009, 01:55:17 PM

No, you're not - there's only a reference, nothing more.

Paul Jaray · October 20, 2009, 01:58:23 PM

The pic cames from a magazine.

Le Sales (translation: The Sales)? Or LaSalle, (Cadillac's former companion brand, and a name used on Cadillac show cars)?

I received an email yesterday by a friend of the owner of this car.
The car is still alive and I asked him to add some more info and pics.

Paul Jaray · September 21, 2010, 04:54:53 AM

I received more pics and a 2-page article about this car...it's much more than a simple coachbuilt car and the name of this creation is (the car still exists) "The Elegante".
I'll add all I have shortly.
In the meantime, another pic:

Le Sales (translation: The Sales)?

"Le" suggest a french name, as any amateur of Pepé Le Pew is aware.
And "Le Sales" would rather be translated by "The Dirties", although there is is a grammatical impossibility, "Le" being singular and "Sales" plural.

Otto Puzzell · September 23, 2010, 02:46:18 PM

Hey, come for a ride in my new The Dirties, baby!

75america · March 15, 2012, 10:41:24 AM

Same car (?) under construction:

Allemano · December 08, 2014, 12:51:59 AM

A recent source simply calls it "Elegante".
And the original color was, err... gold white:
