Now it's Mother-and-Daughter Automobiles-
Yonkers, New York
These two cars were featured today at the opening of the international auto show at Cross County Center in Yonkers. The bigger car is a $30,000 gold-plated mother-of-pearl, hand-built job, mounted on a standard Cadillac chassis. The fold-away hood is of anodized gold aluminum. The wheel-mountings, headlights, interior trim, windshield and other accessories are gold-plated. The car was built in turn and is owned jointly by Harry Birdsall, an advertising man and Joe MAscar, a contractor. The little car is a toy replica of a 1955 Chevrolet convertible valued at $30. The wee driver is Cynthia Dariand, 4, of Mt. Vernon. The girl in the Cadillac is Ursula Spyes, a model.
