| 2006 "Single Edition" Cadillac CTS Sir Paul McCartney |
| In the summer of 2005 legendary singer, songwriter and former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney entered into an agreement with the Cadillac division of General Motors to build a one-of-a-kind vehicle for his personal use. |

| The car was titled and licensed to Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills McCartney in Beverly Hills, and later donated to a favorite charity, Adopt-A-Minefield, which raises funds for minefield clearance and survivor assistance around the world in coordination with the United Nations. A gala dinner was held at the Beverly Hills Hilton hotel to display the car and formally present it to the charity. |
