Farrellac

Does anyone has more details about a 50's one-off race car with a big lump of a Cadillac 6litre engine? The build of the car was commanded by the Londoner Don Farrell, hence the name.

In 1953, Cadillac ran two cars at LeMans, a basically stock Eldorado, and a rebodied Eldorado, nicknamed "Le Monstre" by te French b/c it was so weird looking. Which car are you talking about?

I know the Le Mans Caddilacs, but I don't know if the Farrelac had ever competed in le Mans. this is really a very special one-off. it is seen in Britain now and then in classic car events.

I'd have to look again, but all I know of was a roadster in which a guy placed a 331 Cad, not the 365...

Yeah I found it. It's one of the Allards, they were very fond of the Cad powerplants.
