Looks to me like a '56 Seville that the guy used some
'55 trim parts and '55 front end sheet metal along
with the bumpers.  Made one car our of two.

Lots of little things -- the "J mouldings" behind the
front doors aren't there and other trim pieces are
not quite original.  He does get a "thumbs up" for
the color, my favorite, Bahama Blue.

He was a creative gent!

I thought so to but the doors are 1954 and I don't think that a 1955 nose can be put on a 1956 easily.

54 & 55 are kinda the same car and the 56 is really more like the 57.

Interior is 56....the rear of the car is 55 Eldorado except there are no trim pieces on the rear valance.

To me it looks like somebody took a 55 Eldorado and put a hard top on it and added the 56 interior.

The data plate is a series 62 coupe with power windows. It also has SO staples. That was copper upper  and driftwood lower color. With a two tone green cloth interior. That had to be butt ugly. What does the M stand for in the paint code?
