Yessss! Those big gigantic pots are off of a Cadillac Eldorado.... for sure. No idea where the giant wing nuts came from, however. Gotta wonder why somebody went 90% of the way and apparently gave up? They took the trouble to get accurate color on the inside of the convertible top, yet completely made the front seat cushion all wrong with no bolster on the leading edges of the cushion-just pleats. And why take pics of the car with the torsion level stuck in a lowrider position, but without mentioning anything about why?

Ahhhhh... factory air (with glossy back blower housing) and Cadillac Eldo pots with odd decals on them. Almost looks like the pots are riding on top of the valve covers. And Eldo pots have a much tougher time clearing early-style spark plug looms and wires.

So which number 1956 Caribbean is this one?

By the way, the front ground strap should be angled toward the passenger side and should be fed UNDER the battery bracket, not over.
