1953 Cadillac Ghia Museum Placard - Rita Hayworth Car, Auto Collections Las Vegas
Dealer/museum sales display card describing a 1967 Ferrari 500 Superfast Series II Coupe priced at $1,600,000.
This is a photograph of a museum display placard from The Auto Collections in Las Vegas, Nevada, describing a 1953 Cadillac Ghia (display ID#536253053). The sign states the car is one of only two built and was formerly owned by movie actress Rita Hayworth. According to the placard, the flamboyant Ghia coachwork on America's premier luxury car chassis earned the car a cover photo on an issue of Road & Track magazine, and in its restored state the Cadillac immediately draws a crowd wherever displayed. The card notes the vehicle is 'Display Only – Not For Sale' with an estimated value of $4,000,000. Large outlined lettering along the edge of the sign repeats '1953 CAD-GHIA.' The placard is mounted in a brass frame and photographed sideways in what appears to be the museum gallery. This is not a technical reference document — it contains no fuse data, wiring information, part numbers, or service specifications — but it provides provenance, rarity, and valuation information about this specific show car as presented by the museum.
This document covers 1953, which may differ from this 1998 Ford Crown Victoria.
