55 Caddy and Marilyn

Wallpaper Description:

Supreme among the chrome monsters of the 1950s was the 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible. Its ferocity was more than suggested by the styling – under its solid steel hood was Cadillac’s 365 cubic inch engine, producing 335 horsepower and topped with three two-barrel carburetors. The interior was on par with any luxury car of the era. It had the finest materials, and the lengthy list of options included every comfort and convenience feature Cadillac could conceive, ensuring that driver and passengers enjoyed a top of the line motoring experience. The Eldorado Biarritz’s combination of power and presence has arguably never been repeated in such spectacular fashion.

Throughout the subsequent years, the design became more dramatic, eventually reaching the iconic 1959 with huge tail fins and rocket-age lights.

The quintessential ‘Blonde Bombshell’ Marilyn Monroe was the most marketable movie star of her time and she remains a cultural icon today.
Naturally, she drove a Cadillac.
