The Ultimate Custom Cruiser: Coyote V-8, Roadster Shop Chassis, and Exquisite Casados Design
This is a ground-up, no-expense-spared custom 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente Convertible, masterfully built by the elite team at Casados Design. Sitting on a world-class Roadster Shop chassis, this vehicle seamlessly blends razor-sharp modern supercar handling with a jaw-dropping, award-winning mid-century aesthetic.
