Loewy, Raymond (USA) coupe sans fins, with tail-lights faired in to the rear fenders. Apart from the windshield and roofline, it's hard to tell that this is a '59 Cadillac Coupe de Ville. CA 8/1988, p.22. Photo: McC p.333. In February 2001, there was an exhibition of photos of a number of Loewy-designed automobiles at Paris' Galerie du Square Louvois, including two series of photos of this particular car taken from every possible angle. All the photos were for sale at prices ranging from 400-1400 French francs each (i.e. from $70-300). You will find a representative selection of photos of the Loewy car, below.

Late extra [November, 2004]: The Loewy car may have survived ...but where is it hiding ? Swedish auto enthusiast, Rikard Stenberg, saw an article about it in Sweden's Wheels magazine for October, 1987. That article said that the car was in a Costa Mesa, CA, dealership around 1977. It had been repainted from the original gray/blue/green metallic with white roof to gold metallic. Two photos were shown and are reproduced below, courtesy of Rikard and Wheels.

A quanto pare l'hanno messa in vendita alla modica cifra di $ 650.000 > [url="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1959-Raymond-Loewy-Cadillac-Coupe-Custom-Concept-Car_W0QQitemZ300228646428QQihZ020QQcategoryZ6147QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]eBay.com[/url] :hahahah:

Vehicle Description

Please read the entire description before bidding. Up for auction is THE 1959 Raymond Loewy Cadillac Coupe Custom Concept Car. It is 1 of 1 produced. Bodied by Pichon-Parat of Sens, France in 1959, and shown at several shows and Concours events in Europe circa 1959/1960. A historically significant and important piece of automotive history and an unrepeatable lifetime oppurtunity to own an original Raymond Loewy automobile. Possibly the only Loewy car in existence that is available for public sale, as most or all remaining known vehicles are firmly rooted in museums or prominent collections. First time ever to be offered for sale publicly.



HISTORY & PROVENANCE:

Purchased new in 1959 by design and styling legend Raymond Loewy and shipped to his coachbuilder, Pichon-Parat of France. After it's transformation, it was painted in light blue/green metallic paint with a white roof and used by Loewy and his family forEuropean trips. It returned to New York, thereafter, to Loewy's principal residence and eventually was relocated to his Palm Springs, California residence. After clocking up approximately 41,000 kilometers, it was sold to his next door neighbor in January of 1971, and was stored until approximately 1989 when it was sold to it's third owner-a European collector. It has just been released from this collection and is now available for sale. Raymond Loewy last drove this vehicle, with the original mileage of approximately 41,000 kilometers still unchanged.



CONDITION:

Highly original vehicle with the exception of a repaint in metallic gold, most likely by Loewy. Very good body with excellent shutlines on doors and trunk lid, although hood needs some re-alignment. Essentially rust free body with all important and unique trim parts and bodywork intact. Totally original mechanicals, last running in 1971. Complete and totally original interior. Overall, a very complete and highly original vehicle with reliable Cadillac running gears and chassis. Original Cadillac interior in very original order, with some components in excellent condition.

Beh, che si tratta di un faro posteriore ? chiaro, poco chiaro ? il fatto che sia stato posto sotto il paraurti anteriore.... perch? quello sembra proprio il paraurti anteriore, visto che quello posteriore ? tronco...

Devo dire che a me non piace e che trovo particolarmente brutto per la vista laterale dell' auto il taglio dei passaruota...

Sembra una vettura della serie televisiva "Thunderbirds"

Mi ero perso questo post,francamente l'esterno a me sembra un po' anonimo,un po' un mischione di generi (che ancora dovevano nascere).

Il muso è brutto gli interni sono cadillac !

E' pur vero che oggi la osserviamo con gli occhi pieni di bei modelli che possano piacere o meno,magari vedendola con gli occhi della Space Age Era appariva di certo diverso !

Mi piacerebbe sapere come fa a raffreddare il radiatore...



1959 Raymond Loewy Cadillac Coupe Concept Car - er wagone - 09-05-17

Piace solo a me? Forse dietro è un po' anonima (ma anticipa il design di almeno dieci anni) però il frontale è strepitoso (talmente avanti che quel design dobbiamo ancora vederlo oggi...)
