The Boca Raton Collector Car Auction will be held at the prestigious Royal Palm Polo Grounds in Boca Raton, Florida, February 10, 11 & 12, 2006. "This event has been growing over the last four years and it continues to offer cars you won't find anywhere else" says Donnie Gould, of RM Classic Cars and a 30-year veteran of the business.Leading the pack at RM's Boca Raton event is one of the world's rarest and most significant concept vehicles The elegant 1956 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham Experimental Motorama Town Car. This fully restored, one-of-a-kind show car represents the pinnacle of 1950's design, elegance and luxury. Experimental Model #XP-48 as it was known, was the featured star of the General Motors' 1956 Motorama "Highway of Tomorrow" show at New York's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, and was also exhibited at the famous Paris Exhibition.The interior is beautifully trimmed with black Moroccan leather in the chauffeur's compartment and beige broadcloth in the passenger's compartment following a 'biscuit and button' design that is complemented by an abundance of gold hardware. Ordered to be destroyed by Cadillac following its exhibition, the employees of the wrecking yard simply did not have the heart to crush such a beautiful car and tucked it away in a hidden corner of the junkyard to be forgotten.
