The film company wanted a pink one which resembled the 1955 Cadillac that Elvis Presley gave to his mother. They asked us (= the company I worked for back then) if we could help, but we only could provide a yellow one for hire at that time. So they decided to paint the car in "mountain laurel with white top" at their expenses. When the film was released in Germany, they also put the Caddy on display at their premiere parties. I also used to drive some bridal couples to wedding with this car from time to time. Oh well, it was far away from a perfect condition, but I somehow liked it.

The long wheelbase Seventy Five Series, however, continued to use the same formal roofline of the '54 model.
