Needs spinners, you should be able to pick some up for cheap now that they are out of style.
There was a huge Caprice convertible for sale, though it would make a cool beach cruiser... but alas I don't have the space or money for such a toy.

Reminds me of a movie car driven by Paul Newman...perfect for the character, not for Newman in real life.

That is SO cool. Have fun with it.
You need to take it to car shows and wear a powder blue leisure suit and some white shoes.

The golden age for pimp Cadillacs was the late-‘60s thru mid-‘70s. The film, “Live and Let Die” immortalized them better than any other. When I attended an inner city HS in Minneapolis in the ‘70s, they were all over the neighborhood w fur dashboards, TV antennas, outlandish Landau tops and huge chrome grills, etc.
By the mid-‘80s, that was all over. Pimps were driving new Mercedes or something. This car is more of a conservative, country club ride. Like something a banker would drive.

Drop tops are loads of fun! Especially in the fall and spring, before it gets too cold or too hot! Enjoy!

Cool car--I remember an episode of Miami Vice where the baddie drove one of these, and back in the day my GFs mother had the Buick Riv version of this car in the same color combo--smooth ride.
