I love this.

But please let’s ignore the tailgate hinges for now...

It would’ve been really Boss if they had figured out how to integrate a motorized retractable gate from a Vista Cruiser into it.

Oh and the red line wheels on the Cragar mags look like shit on this car. Even this car is too classy to ride on those. Its not a street machine.

For those of us who think a Cadillac hearse is just a little to creepy...

You mean the clamshell tailgate from the Custom Cruiser, right?

I like the fact that this is a dark green and not black.

And yeah, I’d swap the wheels, but I’m not sure what I’d put on there.

It’s amazing. I’d like to see it sitting an inch or two higher, and those wheels have got to go. I’d like to see something in either a full cover or wire style. Maybe something like this with a different center.

My dad: Wagons are the least cool vehicles, all of them are ugly and bad.

Me: [looks at 1969 Cadillac DeVille wagon]

I think I would leave the rear ride height as is, and lose the rake. That wheel looks maybe too big in diameter but I like the cover, but with the Cadillac crest maybe?

I was also thinking about wire wheels - the real deal.

Neat, but the wheels killed my erection.

Yeah the one I found are definitely too big. The Cadillac crest would be my first choice for a center. I think that wheel would be my first choice and wires would be second.

The other thought is whitewall or no whitewall. If I left it lowered I’d probably say no whitewalls. Raised at all would get whitewalls.

Yup.  Those were so cool.  The assistant scoutmaster in my scout troop had an Olds wagon just like that, and even as a kid I realized how innovative that was.  The darned tailgate seemed to just disappear.

The worst thing to do is to put raised white letter tires on it. I should know. I drove a 1970 gold DeVille for a couple years in college. I had a spare set of RWL tires and put them on the car.  It did look stupid, but I didn’t care.  Wire wheels with whitewalls may be cliche, but they would fit this car best.

Yeah raised white letters would be terrible on this car.

I’d also say it either needs to be full on whitewall or nothing. I’d like either second or third picture but feel like the first just isn’t enough. Some looks you have to really commit to going all out, and to me whitewalls are one of those things.

A few of us at work like to spot the more 'special ' cars on BAT (all of us bored by all the 911s and M3s) As swamped as I have been, can't believe I was the first one to spot this. Love it!! We also loved the the green Electra 225 a week or two ago! In reality I'd prefer the little coach built  FIATs but American barges are super cool

I love Porsches, M cars, and AMG Mercs, but I skim by them on BaT mostly too , looking for older cars and stuff like this.

That Electra was nice too.
