Look like a flower car but cooler ZZ. I would slpe the ends of the rear quarters to match the rear fender lines.
I'd do it in a heart beat.
I must admit that I am partial to the dual sidemounts. Back in the day that was one of the trademarks of a luxury car of limo.

Still crazy after all these years!
I repeat, If I could buy it I wouldn't touch the body. It's bootiful just the way it is.

Bob w and I are on the same page. ZZ's first rendering of a two door would be the only thing I'd even think about if I did anything.

Just a little historical perspective on your car 38caddy.
The dual side mounts were an option.

That car has a really nice body, clean mostly straight and mostly rust free. It looks like a resto job to me. But like skip said aint my car, just my opinion. That is a great find.

ok, thats funny. dont know crap about caddys but the mods I tried to describe earlier ,apparently were already done by caddilac...
Too bad it already was built but it looks just as nice as I imagined El caddimino then... [P

I guess I'm in the minority because the proportions of the 2-door concept just don't look quite right to me, the roof seems too short and the hood too long. It looks better in original proportions to my eye.
I'm with bob w and ModAChuck, I'd leave the body as is. If you want to make some kind of freaky rat rod dually, there are cars you would be doing a lot less disservice to than that one. In my opinion any mods made to that Cadillac should only attempt to make it more elegant, not less.

Ok, that looks freaking cool. I still don't think it's the way to go, but if you had to cut it up... I'm envisioning that with an SSR style folding hardtop. [ddd
