1976 Cadillac Coupe DeVille Pickup Conversion

in Lima, Ohio. It was modified into the current â??Cadiminoâ? configuration with a metal pickup bed and other components sourced from a contemporary Chevrolet El Camino. The car was refurbished in 2012, which included repainting it in copper metallic, reupholstering the seats in white leather, and fitting 15â?³ chrome wire-spoke wheels. Power is provided by a 500ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission, and further equipment includes an AM/FM radio, air conditioning, cruise control, power accessories, and a power-adjustable bench seat. The exterior was taken to bare metal and repairs to the fenders, doors, roof, quarter panels, and tailgate were performed before the car was repainted in copper metallic in 2012. Details include a hood ornament, a power antenna, chrome bumpers, quad headlights, rear wheel skirts, and a receiver hitch. The pickup bed was sourced from a Chevrolet El Camino that was reportedly new at the time of the build, and it is fitted with a drop-down tailgate and a parchment snap-on tonneau cover that sits atop wooden bows. Bedliner material was applied during the 2012 refurbishment. Chrome 15â?³ wire-spoke wheels are mounted with 235/75 American Classic whitewall tires. Braking is provided by power-assisted front discs and rear drums.
