The Cadillac Mirage, produced in 1975 and 1976, was an exclusive conversion of the Cadillac Coupe DeVille into a luxurious car-based pickup. (autoevolution.com) Designed by renowned customizer Gene Winfield and built by Traditional Coach Works, only about 200 units were made. (barrett-jackson.com) Powered by a 500-cubic-inch V8 engine, the Mirage combined Cadillac’s opulence with truck functionality, featuring a functional tailgate and a bed spacious enough to accommodate a 4×8-foot sheet of plywood.
