Thanks Torchie, my predilection is the 53 Eldo. A genuine factory custom. I’ve got 3 now. 319, 412 and 433… And working on 4 others as we speak.
It is what drew me to the late 30s customs because back in 1996 I met Dave Holls (at the Dallas Cadillac Grand Nationals) who designed the 59 Cadillac. He told me that the 53 Eldo was a direct desire of Ed Glowacke ( chief designer) to emulate the late 30s Hollywood customs of the likes of Darrin and Bowman and Schwartz.
25 years later here I am. Life is a journey.
I’ve also got a nice 57 Biarritz ( still my favourite) tucked away.
I’ve got plenty to keep me occupied till my last happy breath.
