El Camino Caribou Conversion: 1978 Cadillac Eldorado
The builder of this next car had a moment of clarity when he put down the blow torch and said; you know what most custom El Camino conversions are missing…a landau top and windows to see into the bed. He likely when took another sip from his moonshine jug and got back to fabricating one of the best looking Eldoradaminos I’ve ever seen. Find this 1978 Cadillac Eldorado offered for $14,750 in Ft Lauderdale, FL via craigslist. Tip from Bobby.

For when all the other kids are taking their surfboards to the beach in the back of Lamborghini Espadas? (Saw that once in Montauk)
Trying hard for a use case here, maybe put a throne and a homecoming queen in the back for parades?
It is magnificently well done! Might quibble about those wheels though.
Great transformation. I’d own this… except, my brother owned a 70’s Caddy… and it was in the shop more than 50% of the time he had it. #BrokeDown70sCaddy
GM definitely was into planned obsolescence in the 1970s…

Needs a set of cattle horns just in front of the hood!
A friend in high school mounted Boss Hog cow horns on his 1990 Nissan Sentra…and it was amazing.
