Dale Shackleton of Las Vegas, Nevada, restored this one-off, handmade '53 Cadillac convertible. We'll let him tell the story: "It was built back in the '50s by a man for his son. The car was then in a garage for more than 30 years. I bought it two years ago and restored it. The engine and frame are from an early '3Ds Austin. The body is all steel, and it has working headlights, taillights, and horn, as well as gauges." And, in case you were wondering, "It's not street legal. "
