This 1954 Cadillac perfectly embodies American cars of the fifties. This example in particular belongs to the Series 60 Fleetwood and was listed as model 6019X for Cadillac. Originally bought by collector Mario Righini, it joined the Nicola Bulgari Collection in 1987. After about twenty years, between 2005 and 2006, it underwent restoration by the specialists Dosch in Switzerland, where the original engine and body were redone and the interior was renovated, apart from the carpet and all the chrome-work, both preserved in good condition.

Many appearance improvements marked the 1954 Cadillacs. They included a lower, sleeker body, a new cellular grille insert, inverted gull-wing front bumpers, and tapered “Dagmar” style bumper guards. Round, jet-style dual exhaust outlets were incorporated into the vertical bumper extensions, and the rear bumper was entirely redesigned. An Eldorado-type wraparound windshield was seen on all models. Sedans used a distinctive type of window revealing the molding, which created a built-in sun visor effect. For coupes, a smoothly curved wraparound backlight was referred to as the 'Florentine' style rear window. A wide ventilator intake now stretched across the base of the windshield on all models, and the chrome-visored headlamp look was emphasized.
