Cadillac Starlight

The Cadillac Starlight was a one-off concept car designed and built by the Turin coachbuilder Pinin Farina and shown by Cadillac at the Paris motor show in October 1959. It was closely related to three other Pinin Farina designs of the same period, and with them it is sometimes counted among Pinin Farina's lost Cadillacs. The Starlight was a two-door notchback coupe, a development of the 1958 Skylight coupe, with a full-width grille of thin chrome bars, a horizontal beltline and, unlike its predecessor, no tailfins. Its particular feature was a Plexiglas coupe roof that four metal panels could cover from inside. The car went on to the Turin motor show in late 1959. Whether it could be driven is unclear and what became of it is not known. Pininfarina reworked the idea in 1961 as the PF Jacqueline.
