1955 Gaylord Gladiator V8 CURVE
www.supercars.net


This really was a car for "the happy few", yet it hardly sold. In 1956 the Gaylord was equipped with a different engine, the Cadillac Eldorado V8. Yet it had the consequence that the base price raised to $ 17.500 (yes.. in 1956..). Due to that, they never got to make the goal they had: build and sell at least 25 cars.
