I believe it's a custom, but could be wrong. I like the look of it and the rarity. Here's the rearview.

1953 Kaiser custom pickup:

Depeche Mode

There is no debate over my no 1 pick. 1. Oasis - 'Wonderwall' (simply the best crafted pop/rock song in history, it will never be topped) 2. Tied: Tragically Hip - 'So Hard Done By' / R.E.M. - 'What's Your Frequency Kenneth' (the whole Monster album for that matter) 3. Tied: David Bowie - 'Rebel, Rebel' / The Who - 'Magic Bus'

Crap, I didn't know about the Plymouth Trail Duster!! Thanks for enlightening me....can't believe I didn't know this. I still think big 2 door sport utes are cool.

Hillarious...I thought that was a statue, but it looks to be a real chick. She seems to be walking on the flower bed. Silly girl.

This is definitely a custom job....just fun to see what could have been. It was done by a guy who, when the '62 came out, told the salesman that he wanted it in the bubbletop. Salesman said no longer available and that Chevy still had it. The guy, being a diehard Pontiac guy walked out. Fast forward many years later, he decided to make his own. Love the look of it. And Blu, I totally get what you are saying about your roofline, it definitely pays homage to the bubbletop. My favorite style of all time. I like too how the rear deck at the base of the rear window just very slightly comes up to meet the slim pillar.

Who said there wasn't a 1962 Pontiac Catalina bubbletop available, and that only the '62 Chevy could be had as such?

I think the Edsel has an undeserved rap for being a failure as a car. It was more a victim of circumstance. It's kind of Ford's 'Corvair'? Only Ford gave up very quickly on this car. I wonder why that was. Really only two years as a true Edsel. The third being more a rebadged Ford.

I'm no expert, but I've left cars that long and longer and didn't do any prep before heading out on the road. Didn't seem to be any ill-effects.

I got curious about 1958 and the economic downturn. So I just researched abit on the web. It was much more serious than I had thought. It was worldwide and somewhat similar to what's happening currently. Did not know that.

Out of curiosity what type of car is it?

There aren't many good photos of the '62 Lincoln. I have a sense they don't photograph well. Look much better in person.

That's a very good photo of that car. That design is truely iconic of the era. If a car could look happy, it would be the '57 Plymouth. I don't care if they're dated to some, but I luv fins!!!! When you really look at it, they are no different than the profiles of todays cars with spoilers and the higher rear ends with lower fronts, just a different interpretation. It still reads as wedge shaped. Interesting sidenote. I read that the Plymouth Fury orginally came only in a rich white, with gold accents. The Fury used in the movie 'Christine' was painted red...not a factory color for that car.

Kaiser (German for Caesar, Emporer or Czar and an American car company)

They seemed untouchable. Of course when the recovery happens, they will start to rebound. I makes me wonder if the Americans and Canadians will rethink their vehicle purchases when that time comes. Maybe not so blindly supportive of offshore car companies. I hope so anyways.

Imperial Le Baron

I like the Facel Vegas. Nice example of one and great historical information. Thanks.

Just the sheer audacity of designing tailights like that makes me like it. Beautiful Cadillac.

Yes it is.
