What is this car?
A friend of mine found this photo he took at a custom car show years ago and would like to figure out what it is. Looks kind of like it may be based on a Cadillac?

Mercury maybe, heavily modded of course. That's my guess.
|
Your friend is right, it's a Caddy. The front wheel arch is the giveaway
|
The feature on the trunk looks rather Edsel-ish....I think it is a montage of different parts and customizations on a 49-50 Merc.
|
The Merc front wheelarch is rounder, the Caddy has the top of arch flattened, highlighted by a chrome spear. This is a 53.
I do believe that there is white Merc custom in the background of the OP image. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1641245636.jpg |
50-53 Cadillac for sure; rear fenders look like they’re based on a ‘55 Pontiac but it’s hard to tell. Exhaust outlet trim looks to be late ‘50s but I can’t tell from what.
|
I think it's ugly.
|
To me it looks like a cartoon character from the back. Windows as eyes, Edsel nose.......
|
"Need a ride?"
|
I think it's the product of Johnny Cash's song, One Piece at a Time.

Special order.... Gimme the ugliest car in the most hideous color ya got!
|
I'm seeing some '63 Corvette in there.
|
Whoever built that thing has mad fabrication skills
|
Studebaker grill in the trunk lid.
1959 Cadillac exhaust trim. Looks like Oldsmobile taillights. Different strokes for different folks. Bernie |
I bet that car has more lead than Higgins has at his house
|
|
Looks like skin tags for tail lights.
