Long before rappers and athletes decked out their cars in "Gucci" cloth or leather, this collaboration truly did happen.
In the late 70s, Cadillac in a desperate attempt to attack the European luxury automobile market joined up with Gucci, the prolific designer, and created the Gucci Cadillac.
With only 200 made, this is a rare gem.
This masterpiece came with real Gucci material for the interior rather than the imitation leather that must be bought today (Gucci will not sell any of their fabric for alternate uses).
It came equipped with 24k Gold Plated Badge Work and the classic Gucci Green/Red Pinstriping.
And to top it off, it came with a 5 piece luggage kit.
Though it sold for approximately $7,000 more than an already expensive Cadillac priced at $15,000, this marvel has become a true collectors car.
