1935 Cadillac Madam X project by Foose Design
Chip Foose has confirmed that his ambitious
1935-inspired Cadillac Madam X project will be revealed at SEMA 2016 on
November 1. Details about the project first emerged in early August and will
see the car customizer bring back to life a car that was originally sketched
and commissioned back in the early 1930s.
Foose's creation will be built from a 1939 Cadillac Four Door 60 Special but in
line with the sketch, has been totally re-bodied as a two-door coupe making it
shorter and lower than ever before. While much of the design of Madam X will
remain true to the original, Foose will add some of his own unique styling
touches.
It will therefore include new chrome trim, a bespoke
leather interior, special paint, painted blonde wood dash and distinctive
billet aluminum wheels. Beneath the body, Madam X will use an LT1 V8 Corvette
engine, an 8-speed automatic transmission and front and rear suspension
borrowed from a C6 Corvette.
