Caught this extremely rare 1956 Cadillac Custom Viewmaster wagon cruising thru the local Home Depot parking lot one day. I figured it was a one-off custom, but the fit, finish and detailing were just impeccable. The owner told me these were actually commissioned by Cadillac, with the bodies being made by an outside coachbuilder, then mounted on a stock extended-length professional Cadillac chassis that's normally used for limos, hearses, etc. He said that a total of 15 were built back in '55 & '56 and that his car was 1 of only 7 '56 models.
