I agree....Far too much face time with a well spoken, articulate curator....not enough car time. Petroloicious shoots cars better than ANYONE...but the slow pan/roll was mostly shot in silhouette and the car was lost in shadows.....but, the music bed was perfect.
CatheysKid It's so hard to criticize such a great channel for anything. The videos themselves are pure artwork. I just thought they lost themselves a bit with this one. I was like...show me the car please! Tell us about that hand crafted body and interior, ornate looking luggage that has replaced the back seat. Is it's twin still alive today and if so where, does the leather travel through to the trunk? I was just left with so many questions about the car. I was left with no choice but to google it after. It was like the ending to American Sniper.
Jess B Petro is definitely the best around...they are so good they make you want more..my comments were not meant to be critical..it's just that Caddy is so beautiful I wanted to see more of it and (I) had a hard time doing so.
Agreed, it took me awhile to click on one of their videos but when I did I was blown away by just the peer passion they project about the love between the car and the driver. It's like they make the car come alive and you get to see that owner's love for it and how it's driven and cared for in it's natural element. The sunsets and the backstories. I'll be a fan for life. Long Live Petro!
Remember seeing this at the Peterson Museum years ago and was blown away by it's elegance. Didn't know about being able to be able to buy a chasis back then, something I think will become a trend with electric motors now on the rise or maybe just conversions.
Wow ,certainly the most beautiful American car I have ever seen. Driven by one of the most beautiful women ever. Just thinking about Rita Hayworth behind the wheels gets me excited! Vavoom!!
Petrolicious is one of my favorite You Tube channels and I would like to thank them for producing such a high quality video every week. Actually, I have to say they look and sound more like a film or movie production. So thank you very much to everyone at Petrolicious!!! To whom ever is paying for the production cost and to everyone on the production crew, from the writers, director, editors and everyone else involved, great job... well done... one again thank you very much.
In my own humble opinion, this Cadillac Ghia is jointly the most beautiful car ever made, the other being the Facel Vega HK500. If only I could win that lottery.
Wow, what a car! Too bad the Peterson is closed for renovation I would have loved to visit it spring time when I'm in the states. Any other car museum worth while in the LA area?
The Nethercutt Museum and the Mullin Museum are both extraordinary, and both are within an hour's drive from Los Angeles. The Nethercutt focuses on the 'grand classics,' inter-war beauties that have helped them win Pebble Beach Best in Show 6x, a record number. The Mullin showcases French automobiles and is currently hosting a fantastic Bugatti family exhibit.
Still the best thing on the Interweb! Your production quality just keeps getting better and better. I used to think I liked the shorter videos, but now I think you guys should try even longer ones.
Beautiful cars.. Petrolicious does a wonderful job of telling the story of peoples' love for the automobile. It's relationship built on memories between man and steel. It isn't always about muscle cars..Petro gets it!
That's got the lines of a Bentley Mulliner Coupé, only rather wider. Very, very nice. So good to see that you drive your cars, too. That's what they were made for!
A car i wan't even be able to see in person in my whole life... Thanks for your video, at least I can apprecitate this wonderful machine a little bit from so far away...
I remember this car parked behind a classic car shop in southern CA in the 1970,s.It was painted a metal flake blue,terribly sun soaked. As I recall,the salesman offered me the car for $1200. oops.
SERIOUSLY, Petrolicious...Why are your videos are SO DAMN QUIET?? :( I always try to watch in work where it's just a LITTLE BIT noisy and even with my speakers turned up for maximum, I can't hear a god damn thing. :( Annoying! So lovely videos and I can't watch properly! :D Pleeeaaase, could you fix that? And about the car... Oh! What beauty... So elegant!
Finally a guy who is a literal 'care taker' of a car, rather then the pretentious claim made by many wealthy car owners. What a beautiful design. shame only 2 were made.
My grandmother told me that her sister was a maid in Mr. Petersons house and they have memories there. She said my grandad always loved seeing his garage of cars. Thought that was cool
Sigh;...I naively went to Petersen Museum to enjoy what "Mr. Petersen was "Giving Back to The people of L.A.""... So I thought it was Free. .....Parking $10..... Base Admission $15.... or $35 to see the "Good Stuff"! (What???) $ Forty-Five Freaking Dollars is NOT "Giving Back" just to peek at some damn cars they own and they get Tax Credits for being a Museum!!!!! ........................ TIP: If you visit L.A. bring a suitcase of Money; nothing is Free.
I've been to petersen. It was well worth the $45 dollars in my opinion. you could spend hours in the museum with the amount of cars they had there. and in cali what do you expect nothing is cheap, especially the L.A area. still one of the best vacations i've been on
Haha! Free!... I did the same thing; I thought it was attached to the Magazine and was Free. (Like the Huntington Museum and Getty Center.) I went to the Art Museum instead, I get to see cool cars for free all of the time.
What a lucky man. I really appreciated to see the car, I mean, this piece of art, being driven on road... If I recall, this car was in Iron Man 2, right ?
beautiful car, nice vid, thanks. Imo a brighter colour would ve accentuated the lines better. Like champagner or beige, but that s subjective. And pls show the car driving around!
It should be noted that there is no evidence of Rita Hayworth ever owning this Cadillac by Ghia. It is only a rumor. The car is also no longer in the Petersen Automotive Museum as it was put on auction in 2016.
Museums charge for admission to keep yahoos out, somtimes, as well as manage collections and the like. Places like the Getty have lots of money to keep an eye on riff-raff. You want free? Drive out to Sylmar and check out the Nethercutt.
Great video as always. For the ones interested there is a series of videos in the car and driver youtube channel with Csaba Csere about this amazing museum, over an hour of beauties, legends and rare pieces.
More car, less interview footage. I only got to hear it running once, I love this channel but lets not forget what it's truly about here.

But you learn so much about the car...
Great video! We loved working with you guys.
+Petersen Automotive Museum It amazes me that a car built in '53 is mysterious enough that no one knows the original colour. Fascinating.
What a beautiful car and what a background. Wish Cadillac could built something close to this today.
That crazy new $300,000 electric Cadillac should look like this instead!
If Cadillac built this Ghia today it would be a huge commercial success! (I'd be more than happy to buy one)
Remember seeing this at the Peterson Museum years ago and was blown away by it's elegance. Didn't know about being able to be able to buy a chasis back then, something I think will become a trend with electric motors now on the rise or maybe just conversions.
Stunning car. Ghia was one of the best coach builders for sure.
Wow ,certainly the most beautiful American car I have ever seen. Driven by one of the most beautiful women ever. Just thinking about Rita Hayworth behind the wheels gets me excited! Vavoom!!
The most american car designed and built by an italian design studio.
You must think pizza is Italian too! That is America baby!
Wow! I never knew such a car existed. It really is breathtaking.
What a beautiful masterpice
Italian design... Probably the most beautiful Cadillac ever built.

What a beautiful car and of coarse Rita Hayworth was beautiful

This is one beautiful car.
I've seen this car in person, it is stunningly beautiful.
A car befitting the legend.
"Ghia, are you decent?"
Rita: "Who Me?"
It’s more beautiful than all of today’s cars.
I'm a car nut and shocked I've never seen this car before. This has absolutely jumped into my all time top 5 list. Wow..
That's got the lines of a Bentley Mulliner Coupé, only rather wider. Very, very nice. So good to see that you drive your cars, too. That's what they were made for!
Waow,qu'elle merveilleuse voiture
If ANY car matched a women.
This car , matched, that women.
What love will make you do ! Would have loved to see Rita at the wheel back in the days.
Interesting car, stylish for its era too
what a beautiful car.
very beautiful car and video shots/pictures and editing! awesome work!!
Elegant car. The interior is very classy. From the 3/4 angles it is, to me, reminiscent of the later VW Karmann Ghia coupe - no bad thing!
That. Is a STUNNING automobile........just amazing.......beautiful!!!!
Une vrai découverte cette Cadillac.
Une ligne magnifique et une classe folle.
Merci pour la découverte.
Love hearing the stories behind the cars but some raw driving shots would be fun too.
Order the underpinnings from your preferred manufacturer and send to Ghia for an unbelievably beautiful one off car- The 50's what a time to be alive
i wish we still had coach builders.
A car i wan't even be able to see in person in my whole life... Thanks for your video, at least I can apprecitate this wonderful machine a little bit from so far away...
1:13 I own that car on the left in L.A. Noire. Wonderful car.
Cisitalia Coupe! Great car!
this i really one of the most besutiful cars ever build.Absolutely gorgeous!!!!❤❤❤
An e-mail popped up to say you guys uploaded and immediately I came to see. (And know I'm not going to write 'first')
technically you still did.
What a horrible experience that must have been.... I feel for you.
I remember this car parked behind a classic car shop in southern CA in the 1970,s.It was painted a metal flake blue,terribly sun soaked. As I recall,the salesman offered me the car for $1200. oops.
I love to discover these jewel car and his history, good job !!
SERIOUSLY, Petrolicious...Why are your videos are SO DAMN QUIET?? :( I always try to watch in work where it's just a LITTLE BIT noisy and even with my speakers turned up for maximum, I can't hear a god damn thing. :( Annoying! So lovely videos and I can't watch properly! :D Pleeeaaase, could you fix that?
And about the car... Oh! What beauty... So elegant!
Very modern for that era, beautiful!
Love the overall design and the back glass on this car
Finally a guy who is a literal 'care taker' of a car, rather then the pretentious claim made by many wealthy car owners.
What a beautiful design. shame only 2 were made.
Holy cow, that's a great looking car! You guys could do a whole spinoff series with just this guy and the Petersen cars.
This must be hands down one of the most beautiful vehicles I have ever seen...Incredible car!
Whoever voted that down must be dead inside.
My grandmother told me that her sister was a maid in Mr. Petersons house and they have memories there. She said my grandad always loved seeing his garage of cars. Thought that was cool
sorry not a maid, a nanny for his children
Pure automotive art.
A work of art!!!
Again, a Fantastic video...
Jeff Goldblum called, he wants his voice back 😀
Beautiful car
Petrolicious always makes me interested in a car which doesn't particularly interest me. Great work.

I would pay $45 to see that museum!
I've been to petersen. It was well worth the $45 dollars in my opinion. you could spend hours in the museum with the amount of cars they had there. and in cali what do you expect nothing is cheap, especially the L.A area. still one of the best vacations i've been on

The cost of living in Cali, incldg LA of course, is high. That 45 sum total of fees you paid for, I'd say, it is already a bargain.
Buster Dallas Petersen is "Giving Back" by me Paying him $45? + $35 for the wife + $35 for each kid?
I can't afford his generosity.
All I can say is "WOW!"
Nice car, first time i've seen it. Your job is amazing.
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can easily imagine Rita Hayworth driving that car.
Gorgeous.
Where can I get some desktop sized photos of this beauty??
What a lucky man. I really appreciated to see the car, I mean, this piece of art, being driven on road...
If I recall, this car was in Iron Man 2, right ?
Beautiful car 😍
You guys couldn't have picked a better description for the title. I've never been there, but this car is soooo 1950s L.A.
beautiful car, nice vid, thanks. Imo a brighter colour would ve accentuated the lines better. Like champagner or beige, but that s subjective.
And pls show the car driving around!
В каждой машине в этой коллекции, столько характера, дизайн - шедевр . Современные авто на фоне ... просто бездушные коробки.
Gorgeous car!
отличный сюжет
Great video!!! Thanx a lot
Beautiful.
Beautiful.
Title of the music playing from 0:30 ?? I love it
Beautiful
Beautiful!
Beautiful!!
Please do a mercedes slr!!! would love to see one on here
My god, it's gorgeous.

Why don't they build cars like this any more ;(
I've seen one - Imperial Palace Auto Exhibitions - Las Vegas in 2007. A M A Z I N G C A R
Holy cow!
Sylmar, California, Been there.
Thanks, interesting History, & Automotive…… Interestingly, also, seems like It should be used!
Petrolicious, could you tell me what song you have used at the end of this video? It's so beautiful.
Beauty
Un modèle exceptionnel
This can hold the 🕯 for the Mercedes 300 SL.
He has the best job in the world
It's beautiful. What is the name of that song?
I am not a big fan of American Cars (just not my style ) but that thing is just gorgeous

Hells Bells! My ears must be shot. I swear he is saying, "Kia Cadillac".
very nice!! What road are you driving on ?
Anybody have any idea what music is being played in this video?
GM could have sold hundreds of thousands of these. Who was the bean counter who nixed it?
***** , beautifully done. May I ask the song titles and artists for the two songs featured in this video?
The first piece of music is "Song of Tonfano"
Great video as always.
For the ones interested there is a series of videos in the car and driver youtube channel with Csaba Csere about this amazing museum, over an hour of beauties, legends and rare pieces.
What is the name of that beautiful song at the end of the video?
at 0:50 That red #14 is slammed!!! must be on air :) lol
wow!
It really has the lines of of the karman ghia and i know it was first
