If you don't like attention, then you will not like this car. Every time we drive this car, people stare, smile, give thumbs up or take a picture. This car draws soooo much attention and looks like it is floating down the street.
This 1959 Cadillac Sedan Deville started life as a 4 door. We converted it to a 2 door. This car is almost 100% complete. This project was started in December of 2007. The body was pulled off the frame and taken to bare metal. The frame was also taken to bare metal. The body was put on a rotisserie for the restoration. There are plenty more pictures of the build at our gallery.
