In 1975 to 1976 a Cadillac Coupe de Ville was made into a custom body pickup. It was an upscale El Camino. The floor bed could carry flat plywood 4 x 8 sheets with the tail gate closed while the driver and the passenger ride in great comfort. A hidden storage area was at the end of the floor bed. It was used to store small articles of value out of view. The spare tire was also located there in the back. There was a metal cover that had a lock on it, just as a trunk would also have. Traditional Coach Works manufactured 204 Cadillac Mirage's. There were also several other companies that made pickup trucks from the front wheel drive El dorado and also from the standard Coupe de Ville. Traditional Coach Works built theirs to Cadillac standards and one could be ordered through a participating Cadillac dealer.

Many years ago I saw one  of those in the Knox Lumber Yard getting loaded with remodeling stuff.  It was White.  Wasn't quite sure if it was "one off" or someone built them.

My dad has a '56 that is a little more hot rod than original. Cragar SS wheels with custom paint and a supercharged 312. 

They are classy rides. Ford did an outstanding job on them. There were some interesting features available for them optionally, like power seats with memory for two people's settings. That was high-tech as hell, for the time.
