1948 CAdillac saoutchik Model 62 three position drophead, purple

[HistoryBuff]

I have seen this car at Pebble Beach. It is bodied in France, by one of the most falmboyant coachbuilders, Saoutchik. I was wondering if this car kicked around awhile unappreciated and was advertised at a low price in the '50s or '60s. I understand it was ordered by NYC furrier Lou Ritter, a famous hotel owner and playboy, would like to be referred to articles on the net about Ritter.

Here's some pictures of the car on this website: www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z12923/<wbr>Cadillac-Saoutchik

Thanks for any info
