Of all the domestic and imported cars he’s collected and restored over the years, Rick Payton’s favorite is the 1955 Cadillac. The Eau Claire, Wis., enthusiast has two-door and four-door 1955 Cadillacs with a strong preference for the top-line 1955 Eldorado convertible, although he’s also owned and restored a 1956 Eldorado Biarritz.
