Among Celebrity Cars, a Custom Cadillac Stands Out

Vern Moeller built this custom Cadillac woody station wagon out of several different classic cars, including a 1947 Cadillac hearse.

LAS VEGAS – At the second annual Barrett-Jackson collector car auction here in the Mandalay Bay resort and casino, you could bid on Jay Leno’s motorcycle, on a racecar that played a role in the Elvis Presley movie “Viva La Vegas,” on cars owned by the actors Bruce Willis and Don Johnson, on replicas of the Batmobile and Barney Fife’s Mayberry sheriff’s car or on a Lee Iacocca 45th anniversary edition Ford Mustang.

Or, like me, you could have been drawn not by celebrity but by the stunning proportion and coach-built detail of a 1947 Cadillac that quite literally was brought back from the dead.

Vern Moeller grew up in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where as a teenager he rebuilt junkyard vehicles. “I knew how to cut things apart and weld them back together,” said Mr. Moeller, who retired three years ago after more than three decades selling industrial water treatment equipment in the Texas Panhandle and bordering states.

A few years ago, Mr. Moeller and a buddy turned a Ford Model A into a boat-tail speedster. The friend had a decrepit, 1947 Cadillac hearse he was either going to hot-rod or sell (someone had offered him $600). But Mr. Moeller had another idea, so the friend gave him the car, which Mr. Moeller turned into a stunning woody station wagon.

Paris Hilton

Driving up and down Hollywood Boulevard in a flashy car is never an easy cruise.

You can see lots of cars from the sleek Mercedes-Benz to the environmentally friendly Toyota Prius hybrid, Tinseltown’s favorite wheels are on parade.

Caught by paparazzi, Hilton arrives at the überchic Nanette Lepore boutique in her super-fly Mercedes-Benz SLR on Aug 8.

Rowan Atkinson is a car enthusiast in real life. His relationship with his Mini (The “normal Mini Cooper”) in the Mr. bean series was a mixed one.

Rowan Atkinson is estimated to be worth £60m and has been a car fanatic for many years. Though his collection of cars is well known he doesn’t like to be considered as a car collector. He occasionally writes about cars and races his Aston Martin V8 Zagato. He escaped unhurt from the car after crashing it into a barrier at an Aston Martin owners’ club event in Yorkshire in 2001.

Atkinson’s everyday car which he uses for family motoring is a relatively discrete Audi A8. When he wants a slightly more energetic drive however he chooses his McLaren F1, which he bought to celebrate the success of the film “Bean – The Movie.” This is one of the world’s most exclusive cars, and despite being 12 years old is still one of the fastest. Its production car speed record of 240mph has only recently been outdone by the Koenigsegg CCR and now, the Bugatti Veyron. Atkinson was in the McLaren when he crashed the car at 30mph into a woman's Rover Metro while driving along the A6 in 1999. The cost of the repairs to the £600,000 car? Around £100,000…

Fortunately, the Bean movie role earned him a cool £11m alone. He started his car collection in 1981; flush with the first fruits of stardom he bought an Aston Martin V8, his “first really nice car.” Other cars he has owned in the past include the famed Lancia Delta Integrale, Bentley Mulsanne, and more recently the MG X-Power SV. It is also believed that he holds an HGV licence. One car he won’t own is a Porsche. "I have a problem with Porsches," he once said. "They're wonderful cars, but I know I could never live with one. Somehow, the typical Porsche people - and I wish them no ill - are not, I feel, my kind of people. I don't go around saying that Porsches are a pile of dung, but I do know that psychologically I couldn't handle owning one."

Madonna FAQs, her father was a motor engineer; he knew everything about cars, auto parts and could repair any of them. So, Madonna owns mostly practical cars that are reliable and will not get broken on half-way home.
