An extraordinarily rare and stunning sales catalog organized around vivid colors: "Bird of Paradise", "Midnight Blue", "Angel Fish", "Morpho Menelans", "Emerald", "Curite", "Forest Green", "The Grand Canyon", "Rose Coral", "Italian Waters", "Orchid", and "Autumn". The cars are all Cadillacs and have, in fact, two colors, both of which are suggested by the color designation. Each color is featured in a luxuriant two-page spread, with three color illustrations: one for the inspiration for the particular color, one of the car interior, and one for exterior. The cars include Cabriolets, a Roadster, a Phaeton, Imperials, a Brougham, a Town Sedan, and a Convertible Coupe. The publication was released in conjunction with a showcase of the vehicles staged in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco.  

13" x 10". 32 pages. Soft illustrated wraps with card stock endpapers featuring a star design. Will be shipped in reinforced mailer with delivery tracking. Rare and highly sought after item!
