Anybody recognize this beauty?  Sorry for the bad picture.....its all I could grab while driving/drooling.  59 convertible....had something painted on the trunk to the effect of "my girl" or something like that.  Also had a hanging tag beneath the license plate that read West Coast Kustoms.

Charlotte NC.    By the way.....any members in south Charlotte NC?  I'd love to meet up and see your caddies sometime. 8)

Hello ,
   That doesn't look like a convertible to me . Maybe a limo or a Fleetwood  but it does not have the vee on the back up light housings . I would say for sure it's a home made convertible with a fabricated  removable top  made from either a two a four door car . Just my opinion
.

Hello Rob

I concur with Bill on the identity.  Try contacting Craig Ashby, Greg Powers and Grady Davis in North Carolina.  Great Cadillac people.

It was a 2 door.  The top looked like those custom made ones you see on chopped 40's convertibles to get that chopped roofline look.

I sure hope I run into it again, it was gorgeous.

Sounds and looks like it was custom made by west coast kustoms. I know they did work like that.
