If cadillac made a pickup in 1975
 

heh, that's not the only one like that

Nice El Camillac

Put some gold 100 spokes on that and paint it metallic green

haha for sure

thats just dope. pardon my ignorance, but is that a chop or a fitting job??

for some reason i have an el camino fetish.

no clue why, but i like em

I think it's a chop. I'm not sure though

I kind of like it

"chop" just means the roof is lowered

there's not really a term for turning a caddy into an el camino, "custom" would cover it though :upsidedow

I thought he was referring to it being a "photochop" I didn't even make the connection at first.

I would say that the photo isn't real but to do something like that you wouldn't simply be outfitting a chevy with caddy panels it would be an entire custom started with a Coupe DeVille.

Ah, I love some rides.

Is that car really any more ridiculous than a Cadillac EXT?

Cadillac was once the pinnacle of American automotive, class, quality and innovation.

Where did GM go so wrong?

Here is a pic of my 1970 Coupe Devill from a while ago, it looks a hell of a lot different now... It's flat black with a tan top.. with red pinstriping... It's ghetto hot rod now...

ah, didn't occur to me :upsidedow

someone in my area has built one like this, front end was a 70's caddy, rear an el camino, painted up white & blue. total custom of course, lots of body work to get everything to fit correctly

so I kinda doubt this is a photoshop since others have built vehicles like this, although it could be

This was a car offered for sale by the Cadillac dealers in the Mid 70's It is made by Cadillac's Custom Coach Works. It is called the Cadillac Mirage. There was about 300 made i think and it was maily for rich texas ranchers. Some Funeral directors also used them for Flower Cars. When i was growing up my father collected cars and one of his buddy's had one, so i remeber the story on it. I think his had some type of rack in the back for Golf Clubs if i remeber correctly....I will try to find a link with some History. I also remember hearing an interview with Travis form Blink 182 and he was looking for one to add to his Caddy collection.

That's awesome. I thought it was a great photoshop deal. It's interesting to see how attitudes were different in the 70's. That car would sell big now since GM has proven that you can put a Cadillac Badge on about any Chevy and sell it for 10x more.

Thankfully Mercedes Benz had a bit more class and didn't make one of these

interesting... the one I saw was definitely a custom, I saw the build photos; but it looks like Brock's right:

Today's SUV buyers are the modern equivalent of 70s van enthusiasts :winkwink:

Good taste will probably return at some point :1orglaugh

That ride just looks good ... I wonder why they don't put some on the production line right now !!! the guy who shopped that is fucking awesome
