Some of the most flamboyant, and expensive coachwork ever to come out of France was created, or caused to be, by expatriate Russian cabinet maker Jacques Saoutchik. In 1948, noted New York city furrier Louis Ritter commissioned Saoutchik to execute a special convertible on a Cadillac chassis. The car was completed in time to be displayed at the Paris salon of 1949.
