Customs Just Wanted To Share My Good Fortune

Definitely NOT the vehicle you want to use when attempting to parallel park during a drivers test...

 

The further you get from the "West Coast" the further you get from the "West Coast Look". Here's the same car "West Coast" style. Much "SMOOTHER" HAHAhaha!!!!

 

Big wheels are in. How about putting 33-inchers on it?

 

I would like to see how it "works". does it tilt out of the way to open the trunk? does it latch to the trunk like some do? is the trunk still usable? is there actually a spare inside? what does it take to get the spare out, change a tire and replace the flat back inside?

 

There is one over here in the uk with the fins chopped off,the owner is going to graft back on a set of fins again. I shall try and dig out a photo

...here's a Thread on it and it makes this Thread tame by comparison...

 

Since we seem to be talking about extremes....check out this one I saw yesterday on Facebook for sale. Owner says it has an Allison aircraft engine.

 

Different strokes for different folks.

 

I see that it has European license plates and recall reading an article years ago about a UK custom car owner that drove his behemoth custom Lincoln Continental through those pokie European back roads in towns and cities. That land barge was NOT designed for Europe! Back on topic I never been a big fan of some continental kits and that's the first one I've seen on that YOM Caddy. It'd be interesting to see how they filled in behind the bumper/tail lamp area when the extension is?

 

Just because you can doesn't mean that you should!

 

Outside of the painting on the back which is easily fixed, I like it.

 

...not unlike many Rides they have their angles...a direct side profile isn't as flattering...the ones above are pretty complimentary in my opinion...I'm looking for visuals on entry...What I did with my inspiration earlier in the Thread was extend the fins back to meet the Bumper as stock and extended the lower quarter back to meet the bumper as stock...then it would look less added on...
​

 

This one went the other way . Still has a straight 8 . Mr Brauks built strange little cars. Is this all to off-track from the OP Cadillac theme of this thread ? .

 

Inquiring minds want to KNOW! We want answers.......

It's just my opinion but no matter what age you are, you do not have enough life time left to drive the , "SHIT", out of that monstrosity!!!!!!!!

 

Very tough to find pics of this...it does look like the bumper end top extensions might dually act as step plates...shoes off of course...there certainly is room in there to store one or two spares...

...A couple more variants of the same continental package...So extending the fins back has been realized...these Caddies as alluded were over the top to begin with so Customizer's had a head start...

DANG!!! Didn’t realize so many ‘59 Cadillacs were ‘savaged’.....

Whether it is Customizing or Hotrodding both savagings are standard fare on this side of the Fence...

 

Skid steer with forks.

 

Looks like it swallowed a jar of Viagra

 

Yes, just need to scrape off the cheese.

 

That Lincoln is tastefully done.

 

Talk about a close coupled coupe.

 

the car probably belongs to one of these guys.

 

Does he have a hitch on the back so he can participate in 2 wheel drive truck and tractor pulls.

 

Some of the dudes in that club have some UNREAL nice customs.

 

Ok i know this is way OT , but all i can see is asian equivalent of line dancing , puke ,puke

 

Bttt...Happy Birthday @Hnstray...

 

If you’re going to be excessive you might as well go all the way ,why be half assed excessive? Not something I’d own but I like it in a weird way. Kind of like the caddy hearse I want to be my last ride.
