1948 Cadillac Eldorado

[crazyjim]

This is the Foose car that I modified to what I like.  Rear fins have been smoothed down and the original taillights filled. Cut a slit along the trunk line for the taillight.  Stripped the chrome off the original bumpers to use as rolled pans.  Dual quad headlights up front with a grille from the parts box.  I used the kit wheel/tires because the red stripe goes well with the red in the interior and engine.

That really looks good ... the rear end especially!

That's a pretty darned ambitious re-do and is so well integrated that it almost slips by unnoticed. And to my eyes it's quite an improvement over the kit version. Nice job! I especially like the stavked headlights and the re-profiled rear end treatment. Thanks for sharing it with us. I'm sure it will inspire others to try their hand.

Like others, back looks great! Nice interior and the wheels fit nicely with the car.  Another nice build Jim!

I really like the suttle customizing you did. Everyone is building this kit it seems, kinda like when the Starsky and Hutch Torino came out, great to see a different variation built. Nice work!

I like it. You made a Custom out of a Custom. Tail lights look much cleaner and the De Soto grill look good also.

Nice looking conversion Jim.

Thanks Bernard, Donald, Jim, David, and Paul.

Great work on this Caddy Jim.  I just may have to pick up one of these kits.

[crazyjim]

Thanks Rich.  By all means get the kit.  It's very nice.

I too like the rear & you did a great job integrating the dual headlights into a car not originally designed for them. Not many have pulled it off as convincingly as you. Great job!
