Dileieom 1954
In 1954, the Dileieom V12 was released in limited numbers. The complete polar opposite to the Ssanvan, a luxury car with an impressive 6.0L SOHC 2 valve V12 featuring 6 two-barrel carburetors, that produced 245hp paired to a 2-speed automatic. It came as either a saloon, coupe or convertible.
Unlike the Ssanvan, this luxury masterpiece had awful economy, high service costs and a high price. All that expensiveness brought about fantastic comfort and prestige though. The car went on to be revised in 1957 with hydraulic power steering, highly advanced safety equipment, and some flashy new trim. Further revisions were made in 1961, when it got a new 3-speed automatic, full single-piston solid disk braking system all around, semi-clad undertray, and further advanced safety features with a classier look.
The Dileieom came in a variety of 8 different colours: Imperial Red, Imperial Blue, Imperial White, Light Teal, Cocoa, Midnight Black as well as the newly introduced Lavender and Autumn.
