1974 Escalade Rendering
So I have seen some of these floating around lately and thought Id come up with my own. I took a 74 Suburban ad and a 74 DeVille and meshed them together.
the grille is kind of out there, but could work or use a different style, but this is totally plausible. Enjoy and I appreciate feedback as well as other renderings.

Re: 1974 Escalade Rendering
I see that could be very workable for a nice custom truck. To which I would lower it a bit, and add as wide as tires as possible. Then use Caddy hub caps. Plus a dark color would really bring it all home.

Re: 1974 Escalade Rendering
I kind of like it. I would like to see it in Black slammed.

Re: 1974 Escalade Rendering
I totally agree. The issue I was having was trying to keep it within reason of what they may have done back in 1974. Realistically it would have just been a different grille and maybe some more trim (I added a hood spear).
I may do a simpler one.

Hidden wipers and headlight doors.
Suspension is fine, it is an SUV after all. For extra added fun, Mary Kay pink. |

Re: 1974 Escalade Rendering
This is probably closer to what it would have looked like...

Re: 1974 Escalade Rendering
They would have done a hood ornament, not the grill emblem. Cover the seats in leather and replace some badging. Do the hub caps. Boom. Done. They should have done it.

Re: 1974 Escalade Rendering
What if we just whack it back to a four door sedan again?
