Im in the "mood" for Yann

[Charles D. Barnette #1465]

To Yann Saunders and any other knowledgeable CLC members: Will you please define "mood" Cadillacs as listed on the data base and how that term was derived? Also do you have any information on these apparent 1954 "mood" Cadillacs listed in a 1954 Miami Herald article for the 1954 Motorama: 1. 1954 Fleetwood 60 Special painted pearlescent gold with a long-grained leather exterior landau top: 2.1954 Series 62 Coupe de Ville painted pearlescent Peacock Green (lower body) and a lighter shade of green for the top; and 3. 1954 Fleetwood 60 Special painted Caprice Blue on roof and Jordan Gray for lower body. Were they known by any exotic names? Any pictures? Thanks. Charles D. Barnette

Currently in Tasmania, therefore this delayed reply.

My interpretation of the definition "mood" car is a car specially finished for a show like the Motorama.  Im not counting "concept" cars or Motorama "customs" that led to a future production model.  

Those that come to mind immediately are the 1955 "Westchester" 60S, the 55 Eldo "St. Moritz", the 56 "Gala", "Palomino", "Maharani", the 57 "Director".

All these and others may be found in the "Dream Cars" section of the Cadillac Database.
