Cadillac?

I was coming home last night.When I noticed a "what I thought was an El cameno" but as I passed it looked more like a Cadillac.I was passed before I could get a good look. It was up on a hill Maybe thats what through me off.Anybody have any idea what I saw?

+1. Flower car.

Always wanted one - a Caddy pick-em-up.

I am betting flower car. I know those are/were used in New York and other northern cities. I have never seen one in the south or in Texas. The only Cadillac Pickup I remember is one Evil Kneivel had built. If he did not wreck it I bet it is still around today.

Agree, those Cadi's were at every funeral home I can remember growing up as a kid in New York/ New Jersey.

Years ago there was a company converting them for the high end market. I believe Glen Campbell had one, and I saw one down in Reno in 1976. Didn't have the horns out front but I believe the bed looks similar to the one in kartmaster's post.
