This 1949 Cadillac convertible was built by Ryan’s Rods and Kustoms in Ninety Six, South Carolina. The car sits on the factory GM X-frame with upgraded Fatman Fab Stage 5 front stub and Ridetech parallel four-link rear. Power comes from a 1959 Cadillac 390 ci (6.4 L) V8 built and tuned by Fox Valley Hot Rods. The engine uses a very rare Horne 4×2 intake with Stromberg 97 carburetors. It produces 345 horsepower and 435 lb-ft of torque. The rest of the drivetain consists of a 4L70E automatic transmission and Ford 9″ rear end.
