"Betty" is an original 1939 Cadillac 60 Special named after its first owner - actress Betty Grable. Not a stranger to elegance and style, "Betty" could be frequently spotted along the streets of Hollywood throughout the 1940s where Grable, "America's Pinup Girl" during World War II, would often be seen stepping out of her pearl white Cadillac and onto the red carpet for one of her movie premieres. Grable was attracted to the '39 Cadillac 60 Series because it was considered the finest motor car in the world at the time. Transcending the norms of the 1930s luxury vehicle, the '39 Cadillac redefined the standards of luxury for every American automobile manufacturer in the 1930s and 40s. Today, "Betty" sports 16-inch whitewall tires and wheels. Her original flathead V-8 engine, upgraded upholstery and new CD sound system make a pleasurable ride for any occasion.
