1952 Maverick Sportster
From Kustomrama

Fiberglass bodied roadster designed and built by engineer Sterling Gladwin. Only seven boat-tail speedster Mavericks were built during the years 1952 to 1968. In addition to that, an unspecified number of body shells were also built. in 1968 Maverick Motors were closed down due to lack of funds.

The body weighted 210 pounds, and were mounted to a modified Cadillac Eldorado frame. the Wheelbase of the modified frame measured 128 inches. The car was powered by a 331 cubic inch Cadillac motor.

The dashboard was equipped with a combination of instruments from Studebaker and Mercury.

The first car produced was Gladwin's personal car. This car was built on a 1940 LaSalle chassis featuring a Flathead Cadillac engine. Since the first car was a design study, it was built without doors, hood or deck. Louvered, removable access panels were mounted on the fenders allowing access to the engine. Anyhtinh further than that required tilting the body on a rear hinge like a Funny Car. Before Gladwin built the second car, he modified the first one and gave it a hood and permanent body mounts. The first car was also later updated with an Eldorado engine like the rest of the cars.


Today, the first car is the only known Maverick Sportster around. The car is owned by Fred Roth that acquired the car in 1995. When Fred bought it the car had recently had a budget restoration, and it was drivable. In 2003 Fred started restoring the car. After four years of intensive work Fred brought his newly restored car to the Amelia Island Concours. At the Amelia Island Concours Fred's Maverick won first in class against 11 other entrants.

Unknown, Beverly Hills, USA] Maverick, a sporty-looking convertible coupe a la Jaguar XK150, on the 1952 Cadillac chassis; six of them were reportedly built. [source: Muller & Hensel, Germany]. Another Database visitor, Rob Muirhead, adds that this rare model was built by Maverick Motors of Mountain View, California, from 1953 to 1955. They were three passenger cars on the Cadillac chassis, available with optional wheel base from from 122 to 130 inches; the finished car was 16 feet long. These where available with 1, 2, 3 or no doors and they had a spun copper instrument panel with a Stewart-Warner vacuum gauge, tachometer and a 160 mph speedometer; the car had plastic covered seats and floor and the floor was made from half inch marine plywood. According to Rob's source, 10 were built (not 6), one of them even had a roof [a removable hardtop ?].
