I'm not digging that hood... those spears are too far forward. Should have moved them.

The rear is pretty sweet.

Did you notice they cut out the rear fenders? For me, if the goal was going for 50's style, I would have left the fenders alone.....

While a lot of work certainly went into making this, it doesn't seem as though a lot of thought did. I agree with all above comments. The rear looks good, but the front and the wheel well cutouts just don't look right. I'm sure whoever owns it is happy with it, and that's what really matters, but its just doesn't seem like a complete polished package. They just took some elements they thought would look cool and slapped them together.

IMHO

I think round headlights would have helped to pull the front end and hood together.

"Custom Caprice Wagon at Performance World 2011"

Is it a Chevy or a Buick? Has a Imp SS wheels, grill and badging. Has a Roadie bumper, vista roof, trim and side windows.

Aww who cares.

I love the radiused rear wheel wells though. Wish our cars had those from the factory... wheel fitment would be so much easier.

I hate the radiused wheelwells! Ugh! Awful! I love the skirts! And for the record, I have 9.5" wheels all around with no fitment issues whatsoever. Wink

And I agree with the hood.

I'd hit it. Wink

I've seen this car in person, and though alot of work has gone into it, there is no flow or follow through with the theme here. there is too much happening and none of it is tied in with each other. it's as if Johnny Cash made himself a wagon instead of a Caddy. up close there is a mixture of good and bad workmanship

I like the rear lights, but not the hood. Fender skirts would have been more appropriate to a 50's theme. But if it happens to show up under mt Christmas tree, I'll take it.

I've seen that wagon before. I'll try to find pics of it. Other than taking a screen shot, I do not know of any way to grab pics off of youtube.

3:13 sure looks like Shammoo's twin... or an early version pre-sidepipes?


Cool.
