Ah, the "old rare Caddy in the barn trick".  Would you believe that a such a car did exist? I dont think it was a prototype, but more of a semi customized Cadillac, nothing too radical as I can remember.  I have been doing a quick search to locate the car, but have come up empty.  Stay tuned, I am sure that someone will give you more definitive information.

Sure this car, like any other car has value.  The fact that it might have been owned or used by Jackie O would add something to its value, if it can be undisputably proven.  How much is it worth?  Like any other car, its worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Naturally a lot has to do with how much work is needed to bring back to life.  Providing detailed pictures and documentation would help greatly in selling this car, if this is what your friend intends to do.

thanks for the info. it is suppose to be a limo type prototype. it also has intials in gold on the steering wheel center. maybe that will help some one tell me more . i hear there were only 10 made. a museum has one called the black beauty.

This is the car I was thinking of.  



Jacqueline: A custom-built Cadillac, named in honor of Jacqueline Bouvier-Kennedy; it was a mere styling prototype built by Pinin Farina [reputedly on the 1960 Brougham chassis, in fact on a tubular frame (no engine)]. Publicity shots taken in front of the Palazzo Stupenigi in Turin would fool anybody; I got under the car at the Geneva Motor Show in the mid-Eighties to check if it had the 1960 Eldorado Brougham air suspension ...and found out it had no suspension, chassis, or engine at all. The "car" spent many years in Pininfarinas private collection; after a repaint from white to gold, it was sold to a U.S. collector in the nineties. It was last shown in Europe in the summer of 1998 in the "Bagatelle" concours dElegance in Paris Bois de Boulogne.

thanks for the help. But this is a caddy! talk to a guy from a caddy club that says there is one in a museum called the black widow. He believes there were only 10 made. anyone else have any suggestions

Jamie,

Get some pictures of the car and email them to me.  At the very least, we could narrow down the year ect.
