NYLIBUD Posted July 12, 2018 Author Posted July 12, 2018 I saw this Cadillac in the "Under glass"forum.I just had to add it.Cause that is one weird looking Caddy.It looks like a Seville and an Avanti had a head on collision,and this what happened.
SSNJim Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 Actually, I kind of like it. A few tweaks here and there, and a lot in the rear, and that would be a real head-turner. In a good way.

Actually it probably could be a nice car.First off its chopped.I think it's stretched.The door handles look like they're shaved off..And then just change that front end.In my opinion,the front end doesn't make the car unique.I think it's too odd looking.
NYLIBUD Posted July 12, 2018 Author Posted July 12, 2018 I just noticed something.I wonder if those headlights close up.Kind of looks that way.
SSNJim Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 The front end is what I like - it looks very early to mid seventies Ford. Think 72 Thunderbird. Some cleanup would do wonders; straightening those round edges and removing the front fender strakes/fences/whatever you want to call them along with maybe shortening the front overhang a bit. That rear end is awful from this angle. I can only imagine what it looks like from the rear (I hope it doesn't keep me awake tonight). He didn't have much to work with. GM cars in general from the late 70s on look great from the front to the B-pillar, then they go to pot. The chop and shaved handles are OK by me, along with the possibility of a stretch. The headlights may close, but I don't see any seating surfaces for the doors.
NYLIBUD Posted July 12, 2018 Author Posted July 12, 2018 I Think it would make a great pimp's car.Sorry if that's inappropriate language.

Jon Cole Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 The art deco period brought about some unusual stuff.

smhardesty Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) Saw this in the August MOPAR Action. I just gotta call this a "Weird car". Wild, but weird. And I did NOT add the "Gasaver" image. The guys at MOPAR Action did. . . Edited July 16, 2018 by smhardesty

I spent a summer in this car, though black 4-doors, working for the Connecticut Highway Dept. taking road surveys all over the state, and never a break down. I didn't think they looked half-bad.
Jon Cole Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 This thing used to be in Hillsboro, NH. Maybe still is? Don't know. Part tractor, part airplane fuselage.
NYLIBUD Posted July 17, 2018 Author Posted July 17, 2018 Um I think this guys roof rack belongs on a slightly bigger truck.
