What was a Morocco? Looks like a 57 Chevy from the
front, was this a test market vehicle?
Also is that a special Elvis edition Cadillac?

The El Morocco was built by millionaire Ruben Allender in Detroit. It was a car built to offer Cadillac Eldorado styling at half the price, the venture was short lived and only arund 20 cars were built.
The purple Cadillac is a Eldorado Biarritz convertible, it was one of Cadillacs highest end cars of the year, about $2k more than a de ville. These cars today are extremely rare and a ground up restoration on one would cost over $100k in todays market. The back bumpers on the car pictured cost over $5k to get rechromed. It sure does beat the hell out of my Series 62 two door hardtop.

Yep your right. It is just a chevy made to look like a caddy. It was even nicknamed the poor mans cadillac. They made the El Morrocco in 1956 and 57. The 57 is a more popular car. They only made three converts. They are slick looking. Something cool about them is the side stainless is actually from a 1957 searay boat.

Thanks for the pics!!
Joey nothing wrong with your series 62 (well the front left looks a little low) :-) Great car. Is the purple orginal? I thought it was black in the pics when you first got it.
Going to mom and dads 50th wedding anniversary July 6th in KS. Told them about the museum and since they were married in 57 they want to go to Branson. We should all try and get together.
