Rivguy Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Nice car, I like the white interior. What kind of hood ornament is that? The last Cadillac Flying Lady mascot was used on the 1956 model, and it looked more like a jet. Is that a Chevy hood ornament? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I think it is a Chevy hood ornament. I don't care for white body (paint) but a white interior is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) If this were closer , and in as decent condition as it appears, and has working A/C, I would consider using it as a Daily Driver. The 1970 Cadillac convertible I sold a few years back was an amazing driver, and made very respectable fuel mileage- and even as a convertible, the A/C was always Ice-Cold - we even used the A/C top-down at times !

JamesR Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Pretty cool, but yeah, the hood ornament would have to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, if you were planning to show it, but as a daily driver, and not necessarily needing to do the bodywork to close the holes, then repaint the hood, hoping to match 54 year-old paint ...(?) I'd be tempted to just leave it as-is... (Maybe advise the "self-proclaimed experts" that back in 1968, GM was experimenting with Cross-Branding, similar to what they had done decades earlier with Oakland's Pontiac, Oldsmobile's Viking, Buick's Marquette, and Cadillac's LaSalle - and therefore considering such models as their: Bui-dillac, Ponti-smobile (maybe for the ecumenical nod to San Marino and the papacy?), Cad-vrolet (This magnificent attempt?) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree to disagree, @Rivguy and @ B Jake Moran , But on closer inspection, I think the hood bird looks more like a 1955-1956 Mercury, and IF that is the case, we have a whole "nother" story. I recall, as a teen-ager, the engine transplant creating the FORD-ILLAC, so I guess Mercury trim could be a mis-step in that direction !

58L-Y8 Posted January 25, 2023 Author Share Posted January 25, 2023 The door jams visible in the interior photos shows it was a medium-turquoise metallic color originally. If this Cadillac has been a Wyoming car since new, good chance it is a very solid, rust-free example. Simply mount a Cadillac hood ornament in place of the current Brand X one, mount small LED spotlights in the peripheral holes aimed at the Cadillac emblem... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or make the LEDs Red, and get a personalized license plate "RUDOLPH" 7 letters , so it works? Then instead of LongHorns, install reindeer antlers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well -- Maybe a set of actual 6 ft spread Longhorns and a huge chrome pair of Buell Air Trumpets -- Would that look more outrageous on my '54 Caddy, or maybe the '41? or Fiorello, the '37 Roadmaster? or how about the '30 Packard?
