Talk about custom mods!
That is what this is. A car built by Ghia on a Cadillac chassis. The thing would still look good on Wilshire Blvd today.
Gotta love the vintage classic cars from the heyday.

Anyone got any more pictures from inside the museum? I didn't get a chance to go inside and gave up my wristband to someone else so I'd like to see more pictures if anyone has them!

Don't even get me started on Ferrari paint jobs! They are terrible! lol
For a $300K - $500K custom built car, I've seen some pretty shoddy craftsmanship. Orange peel, bare metal sections of the car (doorjam), the works. lol
