1953 Cadillac

Could this be the Eisenhower parade car ? Look at the license plate.......

[35-709]

Have to wonder, would someone have put modern, aftermarket headlights on a car of that historical significance?  Ike's car was an Eldo with wire wheels, can't tell on this one --- the license plate number (on parade day) was 1.

Here's another, license plate is 1790.

Edit:  Despite what my picture says underneath it, that is not necessarily Ike's inaugural car.

Those plates are for sale on ebay and other places...anywhere from $20 to $375 for the number on the funny headlight car...

Wasn't his car also black?

[35-709]

Ike's 1953 inaugural parade car was a white '53 Eldo.  There were other parades and other cars, another one used was a black Lincoln convertible, 1950ish.

That's right,  I was thinking of the 56 that was used as a parade car. It was black.
