[QUOTE="texan, post: 1085304, member: 38206"] [B]1949 Cadillac Coupe de Ville prototype resurfaces after 64 years Only four of the prototypes were built, each different, and this is the only surviving example. Its history is unique, as well, as it was given as a gift by General Motors to former CEO Charlie Wilson upon his departure from GM to serve as President Eisenhower's Secretary of Defense in 1953. During his four-year stint as the defense secretary, Wilson droove the Coupe de Ville prototype. The car itself is powered by a 331-cubic-inch overhead-valve V-8, the first to come from GM, paired to a four-speed automatic transmission.
