There are some great photos on the Motorera pages on Cadillacs. The photos page for the 1948 Cadillac is here:

Near the bottom of the page there are three photos of a two-tone orchid roadster with custom bodywork and grille. The broad chrome stipes on the front fenders are a trademark of a noted coachbuilder of the time.
