Looks like the love child of a Cadillac and Harley Earle's Y-Job. I'm not impressed.

I just saw a pic of a Caddy like this. 1932(?). Not a prototype, just rare. Looks like this guy bastardized it with the painted grille and T-bird scoop.

Sorry guys, I was thinking of a 1937 Cadillac V16 Coupe. It was the profile that got me. That scoop and front end are waaaay different.

This is a custom car, no doubt about it. I'm actually pretty sure those doors are from an MGB.

#4, Good call. The windshield appears to be MGB spec, too. So this is most likely based on an MGB.

You guys are right. I viewed the build photos of this car and it is indeed an MGB with modified 1947 Cadillac hood, grille and fenders. The wheelbase was stretched and the Cadillac sheetmetal massaged into place around the MG body (even the trunk lid is MGB). The scoop is from a T-Bird. The interior looks like a kit car with a Firebird steering wheel, generic 70s-90s GM components and a CD player. It fools uninformed people, and the old man just tells them it's a factory experimental car. He stays mum about the powertrain; hopefully it isn't the old Leyland four-banger still.

#6, I highly doubt it's the BL4... its monocle would probably pop out at the thought of making this thing move.
