VINTAGE SHOTS FROM DAYS GONE BY! (Part 2)

I was aware El Morocco's were '57's but the photo is of a restyled 56. Were 56's also called El Morocco's?

 

From I remember the first 0ne was a 56. I read about it years ago. Ron

 

Yes @Bleach , apparently 2 56's & 12 57's were built. I believe 1 sold at Barret Jackson for 2.5 mill.

 

I don't think I've ever seen one in person. I don't remember the 56s, but the 57s were styled after the 57 Cadillac Eldorado Broughams.

 

Here are links to articles on the El Morocco:

photo taken in Bob's car. at about 12 year old it was such a thrill.when I get a chance I will post some of those photos.
