This ad has been making the rounds for the last month. The bastard child of a Cutlass and a Vista, with both cars now screwed up. Obviously it's being sold because the builder is in waaay over his head and can't figure out how to finish it. Don't expect quality metal work. Also, as is always the case with these constructs, no attention was paid to making the leading and trailing edges of the C-pillar match, which is why it looks like crap. (OK, that's ONE reason why...)

If I ever were to get into custom body work, I'd get a 67 flat wagon, and a 2 door and an el camino body. I'd take the front clip and front doors of the wagon, the rear quarters from the windows down of the wagon and the tailgate, and the bed of the El Camino and stitch them together. I would like to take the back window frame of the 2 door (maybe the 4 door would work instead) for the sail panel and the rear window. It would kind of look like the Chevy Avalanche's sail panels.
Oh well, another project I will never do.

This is hardly any different than the OTHER offerings except this one is really rough.
AND THE GRAND PRIZE WINNER.....

Apparently, the Cadillac Sedan DeVille isn't 1 of 1. Still quite rare though.

That one looks weird with the vista top.
Too bad Olds never offered a hardtop Custom Cruiser.
