Jeffcad Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 Hi everyone. Here's my new conversion. Restored and made from a damaged Jo-Han's Coupe DeVille kit bought on Ebay earlier this year (see last pictures). The kit was missing a few parts so I decided to turn it into a 4 door sedan version. Color is Olive green over "Sudan Beige", as close as possible. New interior front seats, roof line and pillars, new dual stripes white walls. Hope you'll like it, and thanks for watching. 2
happy grumpy Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 What a beautiful save, especially JO-Han models, these have become precious. I am glad you restored it. Thanks for sharing. 1
Claude Thibodeau Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 Hi Jean-Philippe! This is quite a rejuvenation, bravo! CT
Tommy124 Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 A great save and another beautiful Caddy from your capable hands! 1

vincen47 Posted December 30, 2021 Posted December 30, 2021 She’s a beauty. Great conversion/restoration! 1
Bills72sj Posted December 30, 2021 Posted December 30, 2021 The C-pillar modification is seamless. BTW since the is no B-pillar this would actually be considered a 4 door hardtop and not a sedan. Well done! 1
Kah puts Posted December 30, 2021 Posted December 30, 2021 Very classy, excellent conversion, elegant color choice, bravo. 1

BTW since the is no B-pillar this would actually be considered a 4 door hardtop and not a sedan. Well done! Hi Bill, Thank you very much. Yes you're right. By "sedan" I meant a 4 doors version. This one is the Hardtop Sedan DeVille for 67, compared to the other versions. Calais pillared Sedan, Calais hardtop Sedan, Sedan DeVille Hardtop and Sedan DeVille pillared were the 4 options offered by Cadillac that year. And apart from the limousines series 75, the 2 other "sedans" versions also offered that year were the Fleetwood Sixty Special and the Fleetwood Brougham, just a bit longer in wheelbase. That was a lot of versions back then, and these options were almost the same from 1965 to 1970. Quite complicated to naviguate into Cadillac terms at the time 1
espo Posted December 30, 2021 Posted December 30, 2021 Amazing looking especially considering what you had to start with. 1
doorsovdoon Posted December 30, 2021 Posted December 30, 2021 Beautiful work. Very clean conversion. 1
MrObsessive Posted December 30, 2021 Posted December 30, 2021 Jean-Philippe, that is absolutely beautiful! I love how you rescue these rare models! Particularly Johans are worth saving as we won't see the likes of them again. 1
