Four wheeled art from a moment in time that will never be again..

That is the coolest car I've ever seen. Well done a pleasure to watch.

Damm I have a 57 cadillac Fleetwood still sitting at my dad's house and this video is giving me some encouragement to keep pushing

karl schweizer can't afford it. I still have and for sale if you know anyone interested

Lovely job, the music is cool aswell, cheers.

Excellent resto-mod. there is nothing like these old Big Caddy's. I feel that GM has lost the once Beautiful luxurious Look and styling to their automobiles. but seeing this ones paint and body panels left alone is just breath taking. Thanks for sharing this intricate detailed work with us.

Nicely done!! can't say I like it being lowered, but all in all, looks great!!!!

Yeah, not the biggest fan of lowering it, but at least they put air shocks on it. Maybe that could raise it a bit.

Thumbs down for not knowing the difference between a restoration and a customization/restomod.

this car deserves two layers of dynamat..!!..doors & ceiling included..!!

What a beast. And a hell of a lot of work.

After my 54 Cadillac Imperial limousine, my next favorite limo was the 57!!, although my 57 Eldorado Biarritz convertible is also soecial...

very nice to see one of these Classics done!

You bag'em you ruin 'em.

Triste état !! Tout est á refaire , c·est du lourd , elle a été sérieusement abimée ...Un super moulin ! Quel plaisir pour un mécano de refaire vivre la bête !!....Au final , une belle restoration ! Félicitations ...

Good video,but that music ! grrrrrrrrrr.

I enjoyed it... for the first 6 minutes. After that, too much.

im a two door guy but a caddy with 4 dont care i drove a 71 man was that was a sweet car like a boat when i was 18 theres was two at my house so i drove them all the time great cars boy i would love to drive that big old boat thats a real caddy but i would have kept it stock but it will smoke the tires off haha

It was a beautiful car with all it’s age. Now it is a testimony of this age.

I'd be curious to know how long in took in the 50"s for the men at the factory to build one unit..and that's a 57..the 53 is even more complicated especially with the first AC system installed on this car..!!

Restoration???? Not. This is a resto-mod.

Nice restoration of a beautiful car. Narration of the project would have been much better than the music.

Beautiful car, I love the resto mod.

Love the new steering wheel and rims - but, you know what?...the car would look better and be more practical if you gave it about an inch more ground clearance than factory original; but you have done a pretty tasteful resto-mod project.

Too modified to qualify as a restoration; great job on the interior though !!

If I had had any idea what you did to that beautiful, classy car I would never have watched to the end, or even started it! Those wheels would be an abomination on a Ford Pinto.

Good thing they didn’t build it for you then huh? You spend all your life disliking other peoples taste, you’re gonna be one bitter ass old man.

A great video on how to butcher an original car. Worth less now in my mind. It may be flashy but not a restoration. You may as well be like all those that throw together another 350 with a Mustang II front end and all of the rest of the cliche stuff. Yawn.

Hey guys we’re did you get the steering wheel on that 57 Cadillac

not exactly a restoration if you put new parts over old dirt is it?

Great job however I think the front wheels are a little to far forward. Is that the stock center and the larger tires look like they will rub when turning ?

what was the part number on fuel pump and regulator ?

Looks good. Is it possible (HA - forgetting speed humps, beer cans laying on their side etc) to drive with the airbags completely deflated - AKA - nice and low as it sits in the workshop? Have a safe and nice day all. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.

The price on that car goes📉

Should’ve left it all original wanna shameTotally fucked that car up

I'm surprised at all of the jealous hater trolls leaving comments about this car. The average guy doesn't know how much incredible amount of work it takes to disassemble and reassemble a Cadillac of this genre, much less make decent upgrades like this bunch did. Great job guys!

But it is not a true restoration. It's a modification using modern parts. Restorations come in many forms, the best being a like-new-from-the-factory, using all-original parts. Like going back in time to see it brand-new on the dealer's lot. These restorations are extremely expensive, but can be well worth it in the end.

Oh wow... it takes a lot of effort.. that must mean its worthy of gushing praise. 🙄

Where did the front clip come from? Is it Mustang II

I noticed you lowered the car. Doesn't that restrict where you can drive it?

@randyneves9701

It would, and that is something that I wouldn’t do to a Fleetwood, it’s similar to what someone did to a Charger Hellcat near me, they lowered it and it doesn’t look good at all

this is NOT a restauration , again a beautifull car less.

What are the rims you used on this car; or are they custom? Thanks!

Thte tires bouh! Thé motor beurk!

Beautiful car. Why is it so low to the ground? That takes away from its beauty.

What brand and model of rear end did you use ?

Ruined it

Pretty nice and very well done...but the music on the back.....please skip it!

My next reso is a 59 Ford retractable..

H. E. Kuiper i have a a 57 Cadillac for sale

After you put in the new engine you lost my interest

This car appears to be in good shape as it was. Should have left this Cadillac all orginal. I could see if the car was in terrible shape to resto mod it, but being in great original shape it should have been left original. Cadillac's from the fifties are far more valuable in original condition or restored to original condition rather than modified, but to each their own I guess. I hope he kept the original 365 engine and transmission out of this old caddy, so it could be rebuilt and put back in the car. I'm not at all putting down this person's work,just not the right car for a resto mod.

Ive got a 57 series 62b. Whats a build like that run?

Average cost is $75 an hour. Average time depending on cars conditions is about 1000 hours. If you have some skills you can save some money. But I’d leave the body work to the pros. I have a 57 series 62. She’s a coupe.

PLEEEEEEEEEAS!!!!!!!! Get some other music. That one is played to death.

Meh. Some cars you can restomod and some you can’t. A ‘57 Fleetwood is one you can’t. Should have taken the money you spent and done a chalk mark frame off nut and bolt restoration. This is just disappointing. I started watching the video thinking it would be a restoration then as soon as I saw the rear end with disc brakes I said this was not what I thought.

Personally four wheel disc brakes make older cars safer and more road worthy the drum brakes wear pretty badly

Ruined a beautiful 57 Cadillac that should have been restored to original specification.

Good video , bad music .

Great car! Terrible music!

I got a headache get rid of the music play some oldies 🇺🇲

Жалкая пародия на советскую " чайку " ... Или наоборот ха ха ха .

why the same stupid song in every video?

This is not restoration!
