Vehicle Description
1957 Cadillac - Custom
In the past, lead sleds were typically reserved for the 50 Fords
and Mercurys of the world but there is no doubt that 1 look at this
Caddy has had builders running out to customize one of their own.
This 1957 Cadillac Custom has an extremely unique lead sled look
and was constructed using only the best of the best. The car easily
has the potential to be the next best of show winner at any indoor
or major car show near you. It is the type of classic you see as
the featured vehicle in magazines and on the cover.
The exterior of the car is incredibly sleek and builds off of the
classy bodylines already found on the vintage Cadillac Seville. You
haven't seen a car draw a crowd until you have pulled up in this
car. The Lime Green metallic paint has everyone turning your
direction and the custom Silver flames and pinstriping keep them
there. The chrome and trim work on the car is in beautiful
condition and everything has a mirror like finish. Pinstriping was
laid down both around the flames and on the hood and deck lid with
some freestyle work. On the rear incorporated into the pinstriping
is the iconic Von Dutch flying eye and we feel this is the type of
classic the man himself would approve of. Blue dots were
incorporated into the rear taillight lenses and are an old school
feature that everyone loves to point out. The exterior was shaved
clean of any door handles or trim other than a few custom added
accents. The stance of the car is entirely adjustable utilizing the
air ride suspension but the car looks perfect sitting low to the
ground. Classic Caddy wheels/hubcaps tuck nicely into the fenders
and are all wrapped with wide white wall tires that look great.
Under the hood is a dual quad 365V8 that starts up well with no
issues. The entire engine compartment is show quality with a
beautiful finish. The compartment was entirely painted green to
match the exterior and creates a very clean look. Chrome, polished
and billet parts jump out at you everywhere you look. Small details
like matching spark plug wires really make the difference when it
comes to dressing up a motor. An aluminum radiator is mounted out
front with a large electric push fan to keep it running cool.
Backing up the engine is an automatic transmission that shifts
smoothly with no problems.
The interior of the car utilizes some custom components to build on
some of the original features that are already there. Areas like
the dash utilize the original components but it has been refinished
with green paint and beautiful chrome. A Vintage AC/Heat system was
added to the car and the polished controls look right at home on
the dash. The original Cadillac steering wheel looks perfect in
front of the driver and has been custom finished out as well. Bench
seats are in place in front in rear and both have a center arm rest
with cup holders that fold out of the way. The upholstery is all
done in Beige ultra leather and is very comfortable. Small
"Scraped" emblems are mounted to the seats and show the level of
detail work in the car. The door panels were custom done to
incorporate an arm rest and speaker. The upholstery work in the
trunk is just as well done as the rest and has custom flames
incorporated into the sides and deck lid.
