Jeffcad Posted April 11, 2021 Posted April 11, 2021 Hi guys. Sharing with you my very new conversion. I have made this 1966 Fleetwood Brougham out of a Jo-Han Coupe DeVille kit. The original kit was unpainted but fully built under thick layers of glue... It needed a refresh and a bit of love. Fleetwood's roofs are higher than DeVilles, so to get closer to the real car I created a new raised and elongated vinyl roof to receive the thin B and larger C pillars, also created new rear vent windows, new doors and interior wood-ish panels, new seats and floor carpet, new lower body molding trims and chromes, hand sanded paint and clear coats, white walls etc...Hope some will like it!
Dan Hay Posted April 12, 2021 Posted April 12, 2021 Love it! 66 was my dad's favorite year of Cadillac, he had several of them.
bisc63 Posted April 12, 2021 Posted April 12, 2021 Oh yeah, that is a sweet model of a very stylish automobile right there. Love the lines of that car. Well done!
David G. Posted April 12, 2021 Posted April 12, 2021 Beautifully done! Do you have any "before" pictures to post? David G.

Claude Thibodeau Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 Hi Jean-Philippe! Wow, this is "factory" quality conversion work, bravo! In my view, this mid-sixty vintage is one of the most visually pleasing Caddy. You nailed it! CT

Hi David, sorry I did not take any pics of the primary shape. I'll do it with the next Cadillac I have also bought damaged, such as a 1967 Coupe DeVille iI am converting nto a Sedan deVille.
Jeffcad Posted April 14, 2021 Author Posted April 14, 2021 Thank you all very very much for the kind words !

Design in 66 was "again" a success for Cadillac those years , neat and elegant. Next conversions to come, Sedan DeVille 1976 and Fleetwood Brougham Coupe 1983. Thanks again !
Kah puts Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 Indeed a stellar build. 1966 was Cadillac's best year ever production wize, so apparently a lot of buyers thought so too.
ChrisBcritter Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 Coming in late as usual, but beautiful job, Jean-Philippe!
