Cadillac Couches
probably the most popular of all the Cadillac "furniture" items
[ many are shown courtesy of Doc Sabatino ]

    
1955-56, from start to "please sit down"

   
This one is different in that the BACK of the seat is the focal point

The 1959 Cadillac couch is a popular home furnishing for the car nut.  One of our friends in Switzerland has one  [see "Shark 59" story]. 
I witnessed its "delivery" to his penthouse apartment in Geneva;  they had to get a crane to hoist it onto the terrace and four
strong men to carry it through the French windows into the lounge

             

This couch was made for R&B artist, Fats Domino, by CLC member, Bob Millian

Sadly, Fats' custom "Pink Cadillac Convertible" couch was all but destroyed
during the "Katrina" flooding in New Orleans, in 2005

Not sure about the item at the left (sculpture ?)
Right is the front of a '53 Cadillac ...to hang on the wall!

Even the swivel seats on this 1984 desk conversion were used for effect ... if not practicality

1958 bar counter

   
Don't discard your '59 when you are through driving it!  It could make a comfortable
"Cadillac-King"-sized bed (left) or an ingenious, log-burning stove for the lounge (right)

Here's another '59 Cadillac bed that
sold on eBay in April-May, 2006

The making of a custom music center

       

   

       

   
This stereo system was built into the front clip off a 1960 Cadillac by
CLC member, Bob Millian; half-inch plywood was used to box the inside,
to hold the components and albums; Bob says this was easier to make than a couch

This 1961 Cadillac coupe has a removable roof and reveals a cigarette storage box;
there is also a removable flint-and-wick lighter encased in the rear deck
(in case you had not noticed, in the photo on the left, above, the roof is on back to front!)

    
Here's another table-lighter / cigarette box made in the former Federal Republic of Germany

And here's a portable radio in the shape of the 1963 Series 62 convertible;
