Cadillac recreates 1954 Carrrera Panamericana race car
June 29, 2006 - 12:09 pm
In 1954, a group of guys from Colorado, led by Keith Andrews and Blu Plemons and with the help of Barry Motor Sales campaigned and very nearly won the Carrera Panamericana Mexican road race. Their little team of 5 nearly upset the competing team from Lincoln with their 4 cars, and over 30 support staff.
Today, Cadillac rolled out a reconditioned 1954 Cadillac Series 62 coupe, visually identical to the one campaigned by Andrews and Plemons to honor their achievement.
Cadillac plans to campaign the recreation in this fall’s running of the Carrera Panamericana.
