Rita Hayworth’s Cadillac Ghia is Quintessential Los Angeles

The story of this 1953 Cadillac couldn’t possibly be a more quintessentially Los Angeles story than it already is. In the early 1950s, international playboy and south-Asian royalty Aly Khan purchased this Ghia-bodied Cadillac in an attempt to recapture actress Rita Hayworth’s attention. They had been married for a few years, but their relationship was ending and according to legend, this was his last gasp attempt to save their love. It didn’t work, they split up permanently, but Hayworth did keep the car.
