1960 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD CUSTOM LIMO 'THUNDERTAKER'

Details

There are custom cars, and then there are those that have earned their own name. This bespoke 1960 Cadillac 'Thundertaker' is the result of a four-year, 10,000-man-hour build by Bryan Fuller and his team at Fuller Moto in Atlanta. Nationally recognized and featured by the likes of SEMA, Hot Rod magazine and The Discovery Channel, this car stands apart from the rest. Starting with a limousine built by Superior Coach of Ohio, Fuller and his team began the transformation by replacing the original

156' X-frame with the longest chassis Art Morrison had ever built, utilizing a custom design allowing the driveshaft and stainless-steel MagnaFlow exhaust to run directly from the fuel-injected GM ZZ454 big-block crate motor with overdrive automatic transmission - through the middle of the frame and out of the original taillight housings - creating a more streamlined look. A twin-compressor RideTech air suspension raises the car for drivability and lowers it onto the ground when parked, and a 4-wheel Wilwood disc brake setup gives the car modern performance behind the classic look of wire wheels and whitewall tires. To complete the exterior, Fuller Moto channeled the body and lowered the roofline 5.5', giving the car a more sleek profile and a more wagon-like look - allowing Fuller to use the shorter windshield and pillars from a 1960 Cadillac Fleetwood. The rear glass was sunk further into the body and the fins were stretched, blending the proportions seamlessly with the car's length. JDK Collision finished the exterior in House of Kolor's Orion Silver, and Price Upholstery transformed the expansive interior using trim pieces Fuller sourced from other Cadillacs and last remaining known bolts of fabric used in the 1960 Cadillac limousines. The inside of the car further boasts flatscreen TVs, Kicker speakers running through an Alpine head unit and twin Vintage Air Gen-IV air-conditioning units. With a build of this caliber, 'Thundertaker' wears its name with pride. **TITLED AS A RECONSTRUCTED VEHICLE**
