Well, though it has a Cisitalia logo, it's not. However, the rest of your guess correctly ID's the car.

An interesting story about the car is  posted on velocetoday.com.

And with that, sir, you have now joined the pantheon of Professional AutoPuzzlers.

Yes, read it before, actualy it isn't a Cisitalia, but this name is related to this car and that's why I've mention it in my reply!

It is by Vignale, yes.
Not a Cadillac though.
