Mary Lou's Fast Back goes to California 12-13-09

[Bruce Nunnally]

Sixty-one years after a new magazine, "Motor Trend," was launched and declared the 1949 Cadillac its first Car of the Year, a 1949 Cadillac Fast Back owned by Mary Lou Haygood and featured in a Herald Lifestyles article in 2007 was named the 2009 Motor Trend Car of the Year.

Haygood learned of the honor when Tom Musson, who bought the car from her in June 2008 and had it transported to his home in Yorba Linda, Calif., called to tell her that the magazine dedicated six pages of photos of her Caddy in its January 2010 issue.

Clifford Haygood bought the 49 in 52 or 53; his wife kept it and eventually gradually restored it. She later sold it to a collector.
