Gilbert Hilton, whose 'Badillac' car turned heads across Philly, has died.
Although he tried to play it cool, Gilbert Hilton loved the attention he received whenever he’d drive around Philly in his “Badillac,” a 2004 Cadillac SRX he decorated with hundreds of household items, from candelabras to curtain rods.“Oh, I hated that car,” Evonne Hilton said. “When people would be taking pictures, I’d be putting my head down.”“One day his granddaughter walked out of the house and he was out there washing his car,” she said.
It was at a nightclub where Mr. Hilton met his wife in 1971. This January, they celebrated 40 years of marriage. After he retired, Mr. Hilton said he “started getting buck wild, partying, running up and down the street.” But after he suffered a heart attack in 2014 and required triple bypass surgery, he stopped partying altogether.
“Most all that stuff was strange,” his wife said. “When he put that towel rack on there I said, ‘Really?’”
