If those boys lived in England, I'd expect the Queen to give them a knighthood for it!!!

You are right. That sure is one gorgeous looking car.

I had a 69 coupe deville so im bias to the mid 50's to late 60's cars, my all time fav is still the 68 Eldo with the 56 running a close second.

As far as custom go that I would want to drive....ZZTop's Cadzilla....that was one smooth ride.

 

[bigknickers]

It's up for auction, I presume it will be going for half a mill. ?

I've just ooked at Cadzilla, the front is great, but the rear is all wrong, that 'slope' makes it look like a mobile take off ramp for a freestyle motocross rider.................but what would I know?

They weren't going for "classic" lines on Cadzilla... just "radical never been done before".
He had a matching "Harley" done as well...

Episode 1 of the new season of "Bad Chad Customs" might give a Cadillac purist a heart attack, but the car came out pretty rad looking.
He turns a 57 caddy (forget which model) into a 2-seater "roadster" (there is no top, so not a convertible).

His cars tend to be "budget" customs, so the guy's budget was only 35-40K (Canadian).
I don't know what that is in $US, but I'm sure it would cost ALOT more here...

Tragically, his shop is about a zillion miles away from me (I'm in BC, he is in Nova Scotia. Can't get much farther away)
$40 K in Cdn money is about $30K in $US

 

[SoulSurfSD]

Wow, that caddy roadster would be an awesome $30K ride...

Well, I was gonna chuck in some of my loose couch cushion and pocket change to bid on it until I saw the missing valve stem cap. I'm not bidding that much on an incomplete project car, lol! Seriously, that really is a beautiful car. I love the color, the lines, the interior, it all just plain works.

Let's face it................if you own that car..............you ARE Clarke Gable!! (you'll need to be a certain age to get that)
