Jeffcad Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Hi guys. Sharing with you my very new conversion. I have made this 1966 Fleetwood Brougham out of a Jo-Han Coupe DeVille kit. The original kit was unpainted but fully built under thick layers of glue... It needed a refresh and a bit of love. Fleetwood's roofs are higher than DeVilles, so to get closer to the real car I created a new raised and elongated vinyl roof to receive the thin B and larger C pillars, also created new rear vent windows, new doors and interior wood-ish panels, new seats and floor carpet, new lower body molding trims and chromes, hand sanded paint and clear coats, white walls etc...Hope some will like it!

Claude Thibodeau Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Hi Jean-Philippe! Wow, this is "factory" quality conversion work, bravo! In my view, this mid-sixty vintage is one of the most visually pleasing Caddy. You nailed it! CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Design in 66 was "again" a success for Cadillac those years , neat and elegant. Next conversions to come, Sedan DeVille 1976 and Fleetwood Brougham Coupe 1983. Thanks again !

Kah puts Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Indeed a stellar build. 1966 was Cadillac's best year ever production wize, so apparently a lot of buyers thought so too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
