Watson's 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham

This was his personal car. It was customized in LEAD by Bill DeCarr but retained it's stock brushed stainless steel top. Larry painted it Candy Raspberry (Pink) over Platinum (Satin) Pearl; 30 gallons of paint were used and create an outstandingly translucent color. It was upholstered by Eddie Martinez. Meanwhile, Bill's Body Shop of Bellflower, CA, moved the fender mounted air-scoops into the front bumper impact guards, replacing the standard rubber tips with the horn bezels. The car also has custom wire wheels. In 1961, the car received over 21 awards including four sweepstakes, three best interiors, plus several first place awards in it's class.
