Summary

[edit]
Description

ID #486234577

Some of the most flamboyant, and expensive coachwork ever to come out of France was created, or caused to be, by expatriate russian cabinet maker Jacques Saoutchik.

Although firmly established before the beginning of world war I, it was not until the twenties that Saoutchik rose above most of his contemporaries. After WWII, more lavish and flamboyant designs were built by Saoutchik. In 1948, noted New York city furrier Louis Ritter commissioned Saoutchik to execute a special convertible on a Cadillac chassis. The car was completed in time to be displayed at the Paris salon of 1949. The car stole the show and after having it shipped back to New York, he drove it to California. Ritter used the car around Beverly Hills for a number of months and then, as usual, offered the car for sale.
