Was cruising the HAMB and came upon the post of the Rockefeller Vista-Caddilac. Looks like a very nice custom job. I don't know how to extract pics from that site but if anyone knows how, please do.

Good looking car. Angle looks a little low towards the back of the roof.

 

That may be an optical illusion from the fins rising up and slicing off a view of the bottom of the rear side windows. The top of the rear side glass looks parallel to the top of the doors in the other 3/4 shots.

Super cool Caddy though, '63? I always liked how Caddy's fins gradually decreased in height from '59-'64, like the fin craze Caddy helped start didn't want to let go.

 

Very nice car.

Am curious if it has a functioning hatch in the back. Cadillac hid the key lock behind the emblem which protruded out from the body. Tough to see in these photo's.

 

found this one

 

Nice looking Caddyvista.

 

or Vistallac.....

 

There is also a pic of a 61-63 T-bird with a Vista roof grafted onto it. Not too bad either.

This it Ed?

 

That is the one. I had a 61 Bird when I was stationed in Hawaii. It was so rusty, when you looked up at the top of the windshield from inside the car, you could see the sky.

 

I am definitely a die hard wagon fan, but I don't think the lines are right on this car.. I'm not saying that it is an obortion, but the flow is definitely not natural from my perspective. Clearly someone spent a lot of time grafting the pieces though. Unfortunately, often hours spent and talent exhausted does not always equate to the intended masterpiece.

 

There's a better rear shot on the original jalopyjournal thread. It doesn't appear to have a functioning tailgate. I would hope the rear window retracts. Functionality would be severely limited otherwise.

 

I like this the best. Interesting car, too bad it isn't more functional, the whole point of a wagon.
