Larry Craig's 1957 Cadillac
Larry Craig's 1957 Cadillac was a custom restyled by Larry Craig of Paramount, California. Craig was a custom car painter who rented Larry Watson's old shop space at 14903 Lakewood Blvd. in Paramount, across the driveway from Gene's Muffler, after Watson moved out.[1]
Style and Features
Craig painted the car himself. The 1957 Cadillac was finished in pink and had hydraulic lifts installed all the way around.[1]
Ownership History
The car was Larry Craig's personal ride. Sultan Car Club member Gary Reynolds later bought the Cadillac from Craig. A photo from The Dave Ellis Collection showed Sultan Car Club members gathered around the car. By the time the photo was taken, Gary Reynolds had already purchased it from Craig.[1]
