Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge’s Cadillac “Dog Wagons”
Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge was an animal lover and she founded the Morris & Essex Kennel Club.
Her “Dog Wagons” were built on extended 1939 Cadillac “Sixty Special” chassis. The two cars, six and eight door limousines, fitted with coachwork by an unknown maker, were used to transport her show dogs.
It is a special Cadillac with a 200-inch wheelbase; the interior has ample accommodations for eight dogs to ride in comfort. The cages are made of duralumin and built as part of the car although they are removable if it is desired to take them out.
