Here's one that I modified slightly. I took a black closed convertible and changed the interior to white from another '60 Cadillac (more on that one later) Also made it an open car. I hope to be able to change the interior to red & white soon.

White looks great on many cars, and this one already looks sharp!

Sure wish GLM put more white/ lighter color interiors into its closed body styles. Many Cadillacs of the era offered  interior choices which either matched or complemented the exterior color in either leather or some posh textile.  Boooo, black interiors.
