    I'd also like to see it off the trailer and gently cleaned up.

    Is it missing trim from the rear passenger side wheel arch?

    Bad sign when they don't even wait to get it off the flatbed to get those pics for Craig's List......

    This was likely for sale somewhere on the central east coast recently for maybe $5-6,000. Anybody remember it?

    I wasn't looking but it's not too far from me (2-3 hours away) if I were going to look at it.

    '71 clamshell body. They probably put skirts on the rear wheels and either removed them or lost them. These custom one-off cars are always a gamble, lots of parts not readily available for them. Add in that it's a glide-away wagon and you've got a recipe for all sorts of expensive little parts that you either can't find or have a heck of a time tracking down when they break or go missing.

    Agreed. Looks like that S10 needs the pressure washer taken to wash the front end of it. lol.

    Should have fender skirts on the back, hence the lack of chrome there.

    The spare tire well does not look good from what I can tell.

    "1 of 2 made."

    Well, I haven't been keeping track. I've seen pictures of at least 4 other Caddy Clam Wagons but this might be the only 72 model with a 71 tailgate that I've seen.

    I don't like how the middle doors don't line up with the rear windows, that doesn't sound like it's Cadillac quality to me. This isn't the only Caddy Clam Conversion like that either.

    Yep, they always had raised roofs from what I heard. Wasn't that one a Pontiac though? Then again maybe he had more than one.
