    49 - 50 cadillac

    back in the day the protruding grill / bumper bullets were reported to be based on females' body if you can visualize them also one nick name were dagmar's


    I could not remember the lady the nick name came from so I did have to look it back up so a bit of history also Dagmar(s): aka Jennie Lewis; Dagmar was the nickname of one Virginia Ruth Egnor, a "blonde bombshell" who achieved some notoriety in 1950-51 when she appeared on NBC's "Open House" in slinky, body-hugging gowns that underscored - for no other purpose but to provoke - the lady's very ample bosom. A view of Miss Dagmar in profile leaves little doubt why the impact guards (bumper "bombs") on fifties Cadillacs came to be known as "Dagmars"! (CA 8/93, p.47). Late extra: Ms.Egnor, aka Jennie Lewis, aka "Dagmar", died at her home in W. Virginia on October 11, 2001, at the age of 79. I am sure that enthusiasts of Cadillacs of the fifties will join me in paying their respects and extending their deepest sympathy to her family and friends on this sad occasion.

    A little known fact. That front bumper is the exact same weight as a complete Toyota Prius.

    it was when cars had style and personality that was lost to time and efficacy

    of course gas millage and long life were not part of the plan I think they did actually design in the failure to force people to buy a new one every three years or so it stopped when the Asian cars hit the shore with better quality and forced the big threes hand to join or die

    The headlight eyebrows and bumper bullets peg it as 1953. Earlier models were different.

    That Dagmar idea must have caught on with the later craze of cars wearing "bra's" over the front ends!

    No 'Dagmars' in 1950.

    1950 Series 61

    1953 Series 62
