Hey Randy.

That's the first Caddy that I actually like.
The funny thing about that car is... Before I seen it.. I was going to build a 2 door 55 buick for a friend,, Make it into a roadster, And I told him I wanted to do everything that was done on that car,, Before I ever seen it,, Then A few months after we made the plan to build it.. I found this on the web...:drunk:

So, are you going to build it or is it too late now, (already been done)?

It was a go... But my friend decided to sell the car..He sold it to a guy.. And now the guy is selling it...(craiglist) I think he got it way to cheap and saw he could just flip it...So the plan is now dead......

It's a photoshop. Not even close to a real engine assembly. There is another set of smaller valve covers directly under the blowers and numerous blank areas to blend it together. The blowers appear to have carbs on them too and a V12 Detroit is a 2 cycle diesel engine with direct injection under the valve covers. It did have 2 blowers as original with later models having a turbo feeding the blowers too.
This one is running.
 
Don't you think it can get any worse,:confused::D
That'd be a hard one to pull off while keeping the passenger compartment comfortable (even if you did move the drivetrain to the rear) but I'll be damned if that isn't a cool combination of el camino, corvair rampside, and handsome oldsmobile lines. I love it.

Consequently, I love the non-photoshopped version of that picture too. What a handsome car.
 
I am sorry guys, I think the 59 is AWESOME!

It reminds me of this GM work of art that SHOULD have been produced.

Or this one I have attached, that one never was built, but cool none the less.
