   It's a 59 Caddy, best known for its bullet tail lights. The
   "ornamental" pipes, aka Zoomies (short exhaust pipes used on Dragsters)
   and see no pracitcal value and little artistic. Nice chopped top.

Now that is pretty cool! I'm a little mystified why it's got the
exhaust ports coming out the hood AND a dual exhaust coming out the
back. ;)

That lowered roofline is well done, though.


I am mystified too.  The "ornamental" pipes are blackened with carbon at
the tips.  But I suspect they are still ornaments rather than orifices.
Not sure about the intake.

I doubt you and I would actually enjoy riding in it with the lowered roof!

I would have liked to have seen it stock, even if pink.  I have it pegged
as a '58.  I liked all the '57s and '58, but '58s seem to out-Batmobile the
Batmobile.
