    It's the coolest Cadillac from the era bay far.

    Agreed Neil! The more I thought about color changing paint...it didn't come out until 79' and remember seeing it then at the Cow Palace car show in SF. Did some rabbit hole work and found it's not in the GM Heritage Collection any more and is now owned by Audrain Automobile Museum. Note the slide show and in particular look at the front end...the headlights are completely different as well as the dash, than above.

    Looks like the ToolTalkBot caught this off of Facebook and is some replica show car based on a 71'-76' impala or Caprice....and supposedly 24K gold plated rims.

    Glamour cramming social media BullCycles and bots without ethics! With all that said...it does look pretty cool with the low profile modern tires and stretches the imagination of what could be. But old school sliding doors, tipping canopy that stores in an air bag in the trunk, forward looking radar, a 390 big block and 4630 lbs. of rolling rockets...still rocks the day.

    I assumed that the headlights are the same - just look different because they're stowed in the photos of the original car. They look like landing lights from an airplane.
