Mitzi & Co 2015 Calendar. Story Information: I have always liked old custom cars, especially Cadillacs. Trying to find one that was in good condition and at the right price was difficult. I have always liked the 1953 Cadillac style because of the big bullet bumpers (Dagmars). I ended up finding this car on eBay. It was delivered from Canada, but originally from California. I was kind of hesitant at first because it looked like it needed a lot of work. I waited until the last day to bid and got in contact with the seller. After asking for additional pictures, I liked what I saw. We went back and forth a few times and finally came to an agreement on the price. When the car finally arrived, my dad, brother, cousins, and a few close friends helped me get it tuned up and primered. About two years later I brought my car to Keith Dean at South End Kustoms. I took ideas that I liked from other cars and incorporated them into my plans. Keith guided me in the right direction when it came to the 50‘s custom style. He had so many great ideas and treated the car like it was his own. Keith did all the exterior body work to the car. He did a 3 1/2 inch chop, made custom quarter windows and custom full length skirts. He removed and shaved the emblems, added 56 Buick parking lights. He enlarged the front fender wheel wells. The rear quarter vertical trim and vent was removed and modified into the doors. Keith custom made the trunk as well. Joel from Joel Auto Upholstery in Riverside did all the interior. All in all, it took 5 years to the date to make. It felt like forever, but it was all worth it. I couldn’t have been happier with the outcome. I decided to name the car the Emerald Tug because I am a captain on Tug Boats. I work in the LA/Long Beach Harbor bringing in the container ships, oil tankers, and oil barges. This is my very first custom car. I really like the early 50’s style, but I am thinking my next car will be late 30’s-40’s. Special thanks to Keith Dean. He took this Cadi and treated it like it was his own. This car would never look this way if it wasn’t for him.
