Not only did Foose customize a classy car, so did Rad Rides by Troy. Hmmm, I see a glitch in the matrix, when customizers better known for hot rods and horsepower mods get into more iconic and classy models instead


Just like Leno's Bronco, I only took one photo as this seems boring. Sure, it's more perfect than any other 59 Caddy, but, there's nothing that actually grabs attention to the person walking by.

If Troy Trepanier is a new name to you, here's a single fast look at the amazing builds he has done before https://radrides.com/completed-builds/

He was just inducted into the SEMA Hot Rod Industry Alliance Hall of Fame, by the way.

And the Cadillac, is now the most recent Triple Crown Winner as in the past weekend it was the clear choice over the 65 Chevelle built by Mike Goldman Customs, a 1932 Ford Vickybuilt by Dave Lane of FastLane, the 1965 Pontiac 2+2 built by the Roadster Shop, Jack Sheppard's 1953 Chevy, the Chad Adams 1932 Ford roadster and the 1956 Pontiac built by Customs by Kilkeary, at the Shades of the Past show in TN.

Wheel Hub Magazine https://www.facebook.com/wheelhubmag/photos/a.1686801134694248/3148182125222801  did a thorough article and photo shoot on it already. Issue 7, starting on page 127, and it's a damn shame they don't put the same material online... so I could make it easy for you to read and see what they had to say. The engine bay info is particularly essential for seeing what was done to make it so nice

like the fake valve covers over the ignition coil packs

Why should they? Well, they gave the magazine away for free, so, why hold back on making it available online for everyone else to get a look at? They would likely get a lot more people to subscribe if they did, you know?

This Caddy only has 30,000 original miles for example. It's been owned by car collector Larry Wilcox for over 20 years, and he decided to blank check it with Troy Trepanier for perfect fit and finish, an upgrade on the power train, etc. Now it's got a Cadillac CTSV, a Bowler overdrive 4L80E, Wilwood brakes and a 12 bolt
