To come back to Cadillac wagons for a moment, another member has already posted an example of those created by crafting the rear roof portion and tailgate of an early 70s fullsize Chevrolet wagon onto a Cadillac.
There has however been another kind by a coachbuilding company whose name I'm unable to dig up right now, using materials I can't identify. All I know is that about a dozen have been built. If anyone can fill out the blanks on them, go ahead.

made by a coachworks firm in California
they also made those big pickup conversions, I think they use them as 'flower cars' for big funerals too

How about where the new roof meets the pillar behind the back door? (C-pillar?) it looks like a truckman top that hasn't been tightened down properly.
The green one or the black one? I seem to be missing the problem. Probably me, I just looked at it and thought it looked great. This always happens, a pic appears on here of something or other and someone says "look at the terrible ...." and I always miss it. Perhaps my ex-wife was right and I am just shallow.Johnspex said:

Also, it may be a optical illusion but the top edge of the windows seem to dip down where the arrow points, which looks a bit odd.

Anyone know of any that survive?
Really interesting thread, I've always liked estate cars, especially ones that shouldn't really exist.
So here are a couple I made,

Yes, they are models.
