GAZ-bodied Cadillac Escalade

Remember the good old days? Well if they were spent under a communist dictatorship, perhaps they were not all that “good.” And yet, there are some who still find ways to look back fondly. We’re not sure that two vehicles is enough to qualify as a trend, but this is the second Western-built SUV rebodied to look like a “classic” Volga we’ve seen this year.

While the last one was a Porsche Cayenne with a 60′s-era GAZ-21 body shell, this latest example is built on a chassis borrowed from a Cadillac Escalade EXT, redesigned to look like an old GAZ-51 pick-up truck. Authenticity is guaranteed by the big chrome rims on this retro-rod, currently under construction by Grande-Garage
