Well, it was not given that name by the maker my best knowledge, but some may have been used as a flower car.

A good start so far.

But I need the name of the company that made this conversion and the name of the final product...

So what I came up with is - these were built in '75-'76 (2 hardly dicernable years for Cadillacs) by Traditional Coachworks in Chatsworth California.

I believe the one pictured is called the Mirage, with it's Coupe DeVille qtr windows intact.
There was also a model called the Caribou that did not have the qtr windows.

A hobby? I was quite taken by your images. I thought for sure you worked as a photographer. So good!

Thank you.I´ve studied "Handwerks-Design" (I´m a kind of "craftmanship-designer", if you want...) for three years but I am working in a quite un-creative job now.
So this is just my way to give way to my creative explosions...

I appreciate the fact that you like them, of course... :)
