Very weird idea......1972 Cadillac Escalade (pics) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Got real bored today, so cranked up photoshop and this is what came out. 1972 Cadillac Escalade. What do ya think?

slam33 · 08-04-2002, 04:11 PM

you would have to use a 67 slant nose

PushinPebbles · 08-04-2002, 04:32 PM

nice truck!..............where can i pick up photo shop and how much is it?

bgbchevy · 08-04-2002, 04:42 PM

I actually did this with a program called photo-deluxe, Its made by adobe, should'nt cost more than 50$. Photoshop itself cost upwards of $600-800

Blue_71 · 08-04-2002, 05:31 PM

that is strangly somehow really cool

XXL · 08-04-2002, 06:25 PM

Nice Pshopping!

I realize it's just an exercise, but I don't think the front end of these trucks are big enough to support the Escalade front end. I don't have a $48k Caddy handy but I think the grille area is taller than the 67-72 grille, bumper, and hood line combined.

Also, it seems a little bit too "high tech" for the smoother lines of the truck. My 2 cents

How about a 67-68 Truck with the 67-68 Camaro Rally Sport front end. I know there is a picture of a prototype floating around.

Or, how about a 69 Camaro RS front end on one of our trucks!

bgbchevy · 08-04-2002, 06:41 PM

here is the grille i started with

Next on the list camaro front end

RainDog · 08-04-2002, 07:31 PM

Man, that looks awesome...put a bowtie in the grill, and that'd be one sweeeeeet ride

**68SWB4x4** · 08-04-2002, 07:32 PM

i could see something like that happening in texas! would look better with a 68 hood IMO

brennecke · 08-04-2002, 07:39 PM

When I throw the cad engine in my truck, I plan to at least use the cad emblems. I was thinking about either a phantom grill with the escalade symbol, or maybe the new escalade grill cut to fit. A smooth tailgate with the big escalade symbol on it would look great.

bgbchevy · 08-04-2002, 07:59 PM

doh!!!!!!!!

why did i not start with a 67-68, the hood would have matched up without much modification.

oh well!

Does anybody have pics of the truck with the 67-69 camaro grille, I searched but they have been deleted. I need to see the proportions of the grilles.

**68SWB4x4** · 08-04-2002, 09:39 PM

68 Suburban · 08-04-2002, 10:01 PM

that RS Grill looks like it was made to fit!!!

Now lets see the 69 RS Grill!! hehe

Project1970 · 08-05-2002, 02:40 AM

WHOA...that looks awesome...

If I end up building another one of these, I think I'd be seriously tempted to do that now that there's a 'good' pic of one.

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 08-05-2002, 04:39 AM

Why not an El Camino/Eldorado fusion? Would it have front wheel drive or all wheel drive?

ckhd · 08-05-2002, 10:03 AM

ALL WHEEL DRIVE!!

Oh, sorry, I mean FOUR WHEEL DRIVE!!
