If they added a little wood trim it would make a nice woody

It's a 4 door to boot! How long is it? I'll bet well over 20 feet.

What a shame..."at any cost" some will turn '59 Cadillacs into 'verts. In this case....a POS!

I am a veteran of the 40's and 50's car craze

Most guys would go to the Western Auto and buy: Foxtails, colored wind wings for your vent windows, portholes, front fender flags, curb feelers, blue dots, jeweled plate holders, anything you could screw, clamp, glue or weld in place. I recall we called them 'gook wagons' which referred to the number of crappy gadgets you could install. How many can you add to the list?

4 Door Cars & 2 Door Cars are the same length. the CK makes the extra length.

2 Door cars have longer doors to accommodate the climb into the rear seat but wheelbase remains the same for most. There are a few examples of Packard where a 2 Door was shorter than the 4 Door of the same series however FEW!
GM builds cars of a series on a uniform wheelbase. So does Ford & Chrysler. Cadillac never manufactured a 1959 4 door convertible (at least anything consumers could buy/Mass produced versions) there might be a special proposal that never went anywhere.

It's not the car fault ....

Find out who did the work

Find out who owns and drives the car

Put both of them in jail ... after they restore the car back to normal

That is completely U G L Y !!!!!

They should be tortured ... just as our eyes are tortured having to look at that
