The Devil's Hotrod

Straight to hell in a primered 56 Cadillac, baby!
Damn how I love rat rods and even more when they are low slung and crackin' out my favorite music-Rockabilly! Captured at The West Side Sinners vintage Rockabilly shop in east Denver, had to get it like a whino chasin' wine! More to come, stay tuned!

Man, I used to have a '55 Pontiac Star Chief that looked a lot like this. I miss that car SO MUCH. Nice shot!

One other thing, it's a '54 Cadillac w/ '55 Caddy grill, bumpers and dagmars. The '56 was far more slab-sided and had a different grill.

:) It's a '56 actually which you would see if the backside was more visible. Bob's been changing it for about 18 years, every year he does something different to it. Used to look all like a 56, and Ivory Green over Green Pearl flames. Car has been been skinned about a dozen times, I think lol Used to have triple lakes with the model-A coils hooked up for the flames...that was wild, but people screamed murder at stop lights at him when they saw it getting to close to their car lol We'll see what comes out of the garage in another 2 months, it is practically a tradition...I am betting blue suede and something to do with a '57 this time around

He'd just better be careful what he does to it. Eventually he'll have no original metal left! lol

I love old Caddys. Great shot. BTW, I just heard "Rockabilly Rebel" today. It's now officially my favourite song of all time. Come on, everybody!
"I'm a Rockabilly Rebel, from head to toe, I gotta keep on rockin', everywhere I go, Everybody join us, for good company, be a real cool kat, be a Rockabilly Rebel like me."
