1951 Cadillac Rat Rod Lowrider Shakedown, Startup, and Road Test

We finally got a chance to get the 1951 Cadillac rat rod lowrider out on the road for a proper drive. During this shakedown cruise, we were really happy with the systems results: engine, brakes, suspension, and steering all seemed to function properly!
This 51 Caddy will be going up for sale soon, so send us a message or comment below if you're interested in it. It's the perfect candidate to keep as a rat rod, take it the hot rod and/or custom direction, or start back in on a factory restoration. It's all there.

Glad you removed the skull and cross bones to uncover the original Cadillac emblem on the front. Glad you have this car. A great find.

Nah patina is bad ass

[@danterry6328]

@@samsvintageoutboards6847Patina means needs paint and body work. Some folks dig it so that’s ok.

You went out of your way to not show the dash. Hopefully kept it original.

Making cars that low is childish and stupid. Im 45 and grew out of it years ago. Your dad needs to grow up.
