MM was something else. They don't make em like they used to.
I like this photo (not the car so much). It's sooo everything postwar California.

First one, pink Cadillac, is a 1953 Eldorado convertible, given to her by baseball star and second husband Joe Di Maggio. Price was the equivalent of $86,000 today (2022).
Second one is a 1954 Cadillac Series 62 convertible, presented as partial compensation for her live performance on the Jack Benny Show.
Rumored to have been eventually sold to actor Robert Wagner.
Third one is a Raven Black 1956 T-Bird. Her business partner and photographer gave it to her for Christmas 1955. She loved to drive it. It was often photographed with MM and her third husband, playwright Author Miller. After their divorce some years later, she gifted it to her acting coach Lee Strasberg's son on his 18th birthday in 1962. She died several months later. This very car was auctioned four years ago for nearly $500,000.
The forth is a 1962 Chrysler 300 convertible, a prop in a photo shoot by George Barris near her home in Brentwood, just months before her death.
Info source - an article in Hagerty.

Joltin’ Joe has left and gone away...
"...after DiMaggio’s death in 1999, Paul Simon wrote about the meaning of the lyrics and the impact of DiMaggio on the nation. Simon’s words still ring true today: “In these days of Presidential transgressions and apologies and prime-time interviews about private sexual matters, we grieve for Joe DiMaggio and mourn the loss of his grace and dignity, his fierce sense of privacy, his fidelity to the memory of his wife and the power of his silence.” "

This is one of my favorites of that era of flashy American cars -
Smaller than their normal cars, stainless steel roof, very cool cast wheels, the body rolls under the sides like a fuselage, fantastic shaping, air suspension, quite fast - what is it?
