Dwight D. Eisenhower – $150K, 1953 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible

President Eisenhower experienced one of the benefits of being President when he got to ride in one of the very first Cadillac Eldorado bad babies when they just started being produced. Eisenhower was known to be a real car-lover, so it was a thrill to be in that Cadillac for his first parade in ’53. This car model signified an apex in the history of designing automobiles with its interesting features, like the first wraparound windscreen. It was so successful that it became a part of other models produced. Maybe his parades paid off because he was voted the man most admired by Gallup twelve times.
