Title: Original?

Bruce, I would have to say NO, but, I would have to say, "dam good" conversion!
As I have said in other posts, anything is possible, given enough time and money.
Good Luck, thanks for the post Bruce, Jim

This one has been around for a long time, assuming it was the only one like it. I saw it in a show somewhere, back in the days when I had my first 56. As has already been said, a damned good conversion job. But we really need to ask, though shouldnt, what about structure????
Title: Of course it is.

Of course it is original.

It was originally a 56 Cadillac 4 door Sedan.

How more original could you get.

Definately doesnt look like it was a Convertible, with a couple of doors added.

 I doubt the top works either.

 These conversions seem to be fairly popular. I have seen a few over the years, from a 1959 up to a late 80s Brougham. They did not have working tops. They were used more for parades and just sunny day excursions.
