The Chevrolet El Morocco was a customized full-size car produced by Canadian businessman Reuben Allender based on the 1956 and 1957 Chevrolet.

Yes, I believe you are correct that gold V is not evident on the trunk of the Caddy

John- Technically you had the 2 main ingredients. But it's not a Bel-Dorado.. (sorry man).

Blue- Your answer was 1/2 correct. If a different view of the 57 was shown, it would have been way too easy..

The 56 has a Caddy style front bumper with the dagmars.. But the hub caps on the 57 look like Oldsmobile 'spinners' to me.

Chevrolet El Morocco Convertible - The Rarest Of The 1957 ...


The rarest of the 1957 Chevys, the “Poor Man’s Cadillac”, the El Morocco was a customized full-size car produced by Ruben Allender based on the 1956 and 1957 Chevrolet. For the first time ever, GM allowed an outsider to design a custom Chevy and this rare 1957 Chevy is an example of what happens when beauty meets beast.

Another Panel
 
Just slightly modified, but should be an easy one.

Sleeper, did Studebaker build a sedan delivery in the early 50's? And wonder what the gold bullet nose is behind it ? ...john
