Hollywood Star ‘The Pink Cadillac’ Hits Auction Blocks
April 26 2024 - 2:17AM
Imagine cruising the streets in this stunning pink Cadillac, but
not just any ordinary pink Cadillac. The official vehicle and one
of the original stars from the big screen featured alongside Clint
Eastwood and Bernadette Peters – ‘The Pink Cadillac’.
“This isn’t just a prop car but an official piece of cinematic
history and is still fitted with the original camera mounting
brackets used during filming and authentic markings of it’s time on
set,” said Mr. Lee Hames, Chief Operations Officer for Lloyds
Auctions.
This classic is a staple in many films and in rock and roll
since Elvis cruised around in a pink Cadillac in the 1950s.
This classic last went to auction 10 years ago in 2014 and sold
for €62,100, or around $66,200 USD, and now is expected to break
the six-figure mark.
“Lloyds Auctions are excited to be bringing such an iconic
classic car to auction and have already received a large amount of
interest from around the world, and whether you’re a classic car
enthusiast, cinema buff, or just someone who appreciates cars, you
don’t want to miss this,” said Mr. Hames.
According to Knight Frank’s Attitudes Survey, the top
investments of passion amongst Australian ultra-high-net-worth
individuals were classic cars with 61% of people interested,
followed by art and wine. Classic car interest has also grown by
38% worldwide.
“As we keep seeing year on year, classic cars around the globe
continue to appreciate in value, anything of a limited build,
celebrity affiliation, significant history, or chrome bumpers just
keeps going up in value and we urge any classic car enthusiast
looking for advice to give us a call right now,” continued Mr.
Hames.
The Pink Cadillac will go under the hammer alongside 200 other
Australian, European, Japanese, and American classic cars as a part
of our UK classic, muscle and prestige cars auction on Saturday
27th April from 2am (UTC-08:00) and will be LIVE streamed around
