There have been aftermarket companies who have built
Cadillac coupes into El Camino types over they years and particularly the late
'70s starting with '77 because the ElDorado dropped the convertible that year
but the coupes were using the former convertible frames. The Cad pickups
were often referred to as "Texas Cadillacs" on the (very mistaken) idea that
everybody in Texas has oil money and drives a Cadillac and owns a
truck. Most of the Cad PUs that survived were stowed away in
collections or show up at auctions from time to time.
I once owned something similar. A '78 Eldo
convertible. The factory stopped making them in '76 but a company in Ohio
had permission and parts from GM including use of the GM warranty to make some
more. This one came from an estate auction in my small town of
Kerrville. I polished and tuned it and resold it for a couple
thousand dollar profit within a couple months.
