I have received this car and have been looking for a data plate and can not find one.  It has two small Derham emblems but no tag?  The car has a divider but no jump seats.  Still dont know what I have!  Help!  Thank you.

As was stated in previous posts, you have a custom limousine. We had been discussing how in the 50s and 60s, Derham cut the fins off of the Cadillacs to give them their own custom look.   It was customized by the Derham Coachbuilders most likely in Philadelphia.  http://www.coachbuilt.com/bui/d/derham/derham.htm.  The data plate was probably switched for the custom Derham plate.

My 1956 Derham has both the factory body ID plate on the cowl as well as the small Derham scripts at the rear of the hood on either side.
