Is that cool or what? Growing up I knew a man who owned a body shop adn he had a '53 (not supercharged) but that was his baby and he had painted it very nicely with ghost flames. I remember it was a beautiful car and rode like a dream.
Thanks for sharing this link, Mello - what a classic piece of history!

That is very cool! It's even better that the car still exists today. How many people got the option to have a brand new car specially altered and built from the company internally like this? I bet not much. Thanks for sharing this.Ryan

Yes, thanks so much Mello as that is the sort of story I would of missed but thanks to you for thinking of us down under. What an amazing automobile and I would be rapt to own a stock '53 Caddy Convertible without the added blower but what a car that is.I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

It's hard to imagine an OEM building a one-off custom performance vehicle for a special customer, regardless who he's personal friends with.... Pretty cool that it happened in '53.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
