Salvador Dali's present to Gala ( Upd. 400 cars; two mascots)

What's the greatest radiator mascot you've ever seen? During a recent visit to Spain we were confronted with the 1941 Cadillac that Dali gave to his wife Gala. It is in the court of the Theatre Museo Dali in Figueres, the hometown of Dali, just north of Barcelona. The monumental mascot is a later addition as you will understand. From various sources on the web we understand Dali was quite proud on the car about which he said that only five were built. Elaborate information about the more than interesting relation between Dali & Cadillac can be found with our Australian colleagues of Uniquecarsandparts. Yet we wonder what is the exact number built of the 1941 Cadilllac Series 62 four door convertible. Regarding the mascot, you may have guessed, that's a one off.

For the mascot it is part of an installation. It was the work of Austrian artist Ernst Fuchs and it is not a one off. Another similar sculpture belongs to the Fuchs' museum.

My recollection is that Cadillac made 400 of the Series 62 convertible sedans.
