Is a Caddy or a Chevy?

Post by wicked1981 »

I dont know if this is happening only here but maybe not. I seen a couple of Chevy trucks around here that changed the front end or the back end to a Cadillac front/rear and leave the Cadillac logo on it. So you see a Chevy truck with the Cadillac grill or with the back door bed from a Cadillac truck.. I think its retarded if you cand a Caddy buy one!! Weird I guess

Those Caddy pickups that you are seeing may be authentic, if they are newer. Cadillac has the Escalade EXT in its lineup now, which is just a Chevy pickup truck with the Caddy front and rear end on it. They came out with it as competition for the Lincoln Blackwood.
