Coup de rado

Well I'm 23 and I've been lookin for a 55cad for about 22 years now and finally got my hands on one! It's a coupe de ville with an el dorado rear quarters that were grafted on with lead back in the 60s! It's got a 335 motor and he is giving me a 2x4 manifold for it as well! I'm excited as could be..

Cool project.Got more pics of the stude p/u?

 

Great looking car! Add 59 Cad tail lights, fill the holes in the hood and trunk, custom paint and wheels and have a beautiful custom.

 

like the quarters, what are your plans?

 

Wow nice score !Can't wait to see more of it.

 

Ruling!

 

badass!

 

Worth the wait i wish i had that kind of patience

 

Since you were a year old?

 

Neat car, looks like there was quite a bit of custom work done to it at one time, including shaved hood and trunk and the obvious quarter panel and rear bumper swap, and it all looks to have been quite well done. I hope you plan to restore it to the way it was when it was first customized, or at least to retain all the custom stuff that was done to it.

Real good score, I wonder what the history of it was?

 

that's awesome. i see a great lookin studebaker in the background too!
