    Used to love the '60s Cadillac 'flower trucks'...then found out there were many more 'home-modified' than Coachworks retros!
    '59-'67 were the pretty ones. imho

    Ugh, hate it!
    Haha, those two aren't super offensive, but I've seen some horrible one.
    Saw a Ford Festiva in the scrap yard about 2 weeks ago...BAD.

    I was never a fan until this one popped up in Hot Rod Deluxe a little while back!!
    99% of the time I find this kinda thing unendorseable!!!

    I think I like this. I could see hauling all sorts of stuff around the house. Down to hardware store for some lumber or hauling off the trash. Throw some hay in the back or just haul the bike around. Cool.

    That Stude is nice, except for the rear window. Looks like a winshield, not rear glass. I'd like something smaller personally.

    I can't remember what Hot rod deluxe it was in,but it was a build from the late 50's. The rear glass is a front windsheild.

    EDIT.... July 2009 hot rod deluxe!!!

    I've seen the trailer for the movie on the net, it looked good. I tried renting it here at Blockbuster and a couple of other rental stores. Not avaliable. Guess I'll have to get Netflix, Blockbuster may not be around much longer anyways...

    I think the rear glass is the original coupe rear window flipped 180 degrees.

    Pictures of my 1963 Cadillac "Elmerado" taken at El Mirage July 2010
    Bulit for Elmer Hubacher, owner of Hubacher Cadillac in Sacramento. It began as a Sedan DeVille, the roof shortened, rear doors filled & etc. Features a Riviera front seat with a custom jump seat behind it. Fleetwood front fender trim & rocker moldings, Sabre wheels, 472/THM400, hand lettered dealer logo on the doors and is registered as a truck with black/yellow CA commerical plates. Mr. Hubacher used this truck to tow his Chris-Craft boat. It was also used for promotions and car shows, including the 1969 Oakland Roadster show & 2010 Sacramento Autorama.
