1974 Escalade Rendering
 

So I have seen some of these floating around lately and thought Id come up with my own. I took a 74 Suburban ad and a 74 DeVille and meshed them together.

the grille is kind of out there, but could work or use a different style, but this is totally plausible.

Enjoy and I appreciate feedback as well as other renderings.

I see that could be very workable for a nice custom truck. To which I would lower it a bit, and add as wide as tires as possible. Then use Caddy hub caps. Plus a dark color would really bring it all home.

x2 on lower its caddy man ...... :metal:

also were is the huge caddy hood ornament front and center ?

Re: 1974 Escalade Rendering
 

I kind of like it. I would like to see it in Black slammed.

I can't help but think of the Griswold Family Truckster....:lol:

Hidden wipers and headlight doors.

Suspension is fine, it is an SUV after all.

For extra added fun, Mary Kay pink.

Re: 1974 Escalade Rendering
 

That's the 1st thing I thought of too. That's horrible.

Re: 1974 Escalade Rendering
 

I totally agree. The issue I was having was trying to keep it within reason of what they may have done back in 1974. Realistically it would have just been a different grille and maybe some more trim (I added a hood spear).

I may do a simpler one.

This is probably closer to what it would have looked like...

Re: 1974 Escalade Rendering
 

They would have done a hood ornament, not the grill emblem. Cover the seats in leather and replace some badging. Do the hub caps. Boom. Done. They should have done it.

Re: 1974 Escalade Rendering
 

Agree...

Good lord :lol:

Re: 1974 Escalade Rendering
 

What if we just whack it back to a four door sedan again?

Re: 1974 Escalade Rendering
 

Or possibly a quad 5-3/4" headlight conversion?

Re: 1974 Escalade Rendering
 

I thought about that but figured they wouldn't have done too much to the outside. It would have the leather and different wheel and maybe the Cadillac climate control?

Re: 1974 Escalade Rendering
 

This one I like. Basically a stock Suburban with Caddy emblems and hubcaps. I like the Caddy hood ornament too. I like the clean simple look.
You could add some small Caddy emblems to the tail lights too just for fun.

This would actually be a fun one to recreate. Wouldn't cost that much.
