Classic Cadillac Becomes Monster... Limousine

How many of you out there like monster trucks and classic American luxury cars alike? We fancy both, but we never thought we’d get to see a contraption like the one pictured above.

Obviously the love child of a 1959 Cadillac Series 75 and a monster truck, this vehicle might be pretty useful on rough terrain, but it sure looks like it came out of a butcher’s shop. However, we can’t help but wonder if such a vehicle would be popular in Texas...

Also, we wonder what happened to this luxurious Caddy before it turned out like this. These sought-after classics don’t come cheap and we’re pretty sure no owner is crazy enough to ruin a good one.

This version of the Cadillac Series 75 was sold in 1959 and 1960 with a 6.4-liter V8 engine mated to a four-speed automatic. It’s 244.8 inches (6,218 mm) long and weighs about 5,800 pounds (2,630 kg).
