1974 Escalade Rendering - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

demian5 · 10-03-2019, 04:40 PM

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.

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.

x2 on lower its caddy man ......

also were is the huge caddy hood ornament front and center ?

Mathew21 · 10-03-2019, 06:44 PM

I kind of like it. I would like to see it in Black slammed.

I can't help but think of the Griswold Family Truckster....

Dead Parrot · 10-03-2019, 08:40 PM

Hidden wipers and headlight doors.

Suspension is fine, it is an SUV after all.

For extra added fun, Mary Kay pink.

That's the 1st thing I thought of too. That's horrible.

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.

This is probably closer to what it would have looked like...

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.

Good lord

kipps · 10-04-2019, 10:08 PM

What if we just whack it back to a four door sedan again?

kipps · 10-04-2019, 10:34 PM

Or possibly a quad 5-3/4" headlight conversion?

I thought about that but figured they wouldn't have done too much to the outside. It would have the leather and different wheel and maybe the Cadillac climate control?

You could add some small Caddy emblems to the tail lights too just for fun.
