Now that goes above and beyond. Really captures the look of the limo! The roof treatment reminds me of the old Derham conversions which had heavily padded leather tops with small back windows. Looking forward to more of your Caddys!

Fantastic mod work, paint looks great and even the bit of interior I can see looks excellent. 

In "The Biz" we would call this an Executive or Business Limo.

Very nice build. I haven't thought that limos roofs are higher than sedans. Good to know, if I ever decide to build one. 

Your limo looks just great.

Wow, this is incredible! 

Can I ask where the rear window is? I wasn't sure if they had them or not in those days for limos. 

HI Michael, thank you very much!. Over the last 30 years I have seen only 2 1966 limousines without the rear window openings. Definitively customized by a private manufacturer or coach builder. Yet, almost all of the"regular" business limos were having them, vinyl top or not. Even the converted limos by Derham, under an heavily vinyl padded roof, were showing rear windows but reduced in size. Not doing that opening on my model isn't voluntary, I have faced many problems with the mastic used to raise the height of the top and to transform the D pillar. So, to prevent any further damages during the building, I went with this option.

Again, a big THANK YOU to everybody for the good words !.

More Cadillac conversions to come during the summer !!! :D
