Dec 13th, 2019 : Does it Mattar
Louie Mattar bought a new 1947 Cadillac for about $2,200($25,300 today) but it wasn’t quite what he wanted so he spent 5 years and $75,000($865,000 today) making exactly what he wanted.

The museum display board say it took him seven years to build, not so. He made the cross country trip in September of 1952, and the earliest he could have gotten the car would be September of 1946, so that longest possible scenario would be six years. I read elsewhere it was five. Thinking back to the maintenance schedules (oil 1000 miles), and tires you’re lucky to get 20,000 miles with blowouts common. The most amazing thing is no corporate sponsors. link
