Cadillac Custom Coach Pickup

Saw this one on CL in western IL. 1973. Very interesting. I am assuming it is a conversion. The doors looks almost as big as the bed.

Can't be an original conversion from when the car was new - the bed is from a 78-86 El Camino. 

There was a company that did convert Cadillacs into pickups back in the 70s. But I can't remember the name. 

They also did station wagons with them too. Very well done!

Found it! Traditional Coach Works.

It's probably a funeral flower car. Doesn't look like it has a tailgate.

I would agree on the tail gate.

Cool pics Oldcarfan.

There were numerous coachbuilders converting Cadillacs and Lincolns to pickups and wagons.

 

There is the possibility that a conversion company did use GM ElCamino/wagon parts in their work, but there are also many backyard conversions as well.  The rather shallow deck might suggest a flower car, but most I've seen had a stainless steel liner.  Generally, flower cars are more than just a Cadillac El Camino.  :-)
