Caddy? Buick? Impala?

Cadillac eldorado.

Could be a 59 Coupe De Ville

It is indeed a 1959 Cadillac Coupe Deville and there is a 1958 parked next to it.

Some updates, I'll let the pictures do the talking. Haven't really done much - had a bit of a break from it but back on it full speed now (as far as funds will allow anyway)...




And the block dummy fitted with gearbox and HEI (probably wont use a HEI distributor but I wanted to make sure the engine was far enough forward for me to use one should I ever..)

Bit of an update:

Managed to get the camber plates welded in (Thanks Johny for the these). This weekend I'm going to try and bolt all the old running gear back on so its a workable rolling shell to go off for the cage. Also need to fit the seats in the correct points for the plates to be welded underneath and the cage to be fitted around them.

Quick picture!





Once the cage is in I can really motor on with the build which will be mega exciting!
