The fastback Club Coupe “Sedanettes” were, in terms of performance and image, the standard-bearers of the Cadillac line. Respectable power-to-weight ratios coupled with efficient (and much talked about) aerodynamics gave these two-ton luxury machines the credentials they needed to effect some unexpected endings to street encounters with considerably lighter cars. For those with an aggressive stance on these matters will be drawn in by this exceptionally-styled street rod version that has many exceptional attributes built in to it.

Among these features on the “Badillac” is a 502-cid big-block V-8 engine that is set up in an exceptionally clean and highly-detailed engine bay. This unit is mated to an automatic transmission that is console-shifted in a custom interior centerpiece that even has a third tailfin at the back of the console assembly that illustrates the high level of execution to these important visual details. The brilliant purple finish is complemented by a custom saddle-toned interior that has air conditioning, sculpted door panels, bucket seats, power windows, sound system, brightly finished tilt steering column, fender skirts, power steering, alloy wheels, dual sport mirrors and low-profile blackwall tires. This is a look that many could only have dared to dream when this popular model was introduced in period.
