What would one haul with this 1973 Cadillac Caribou for sale on Hemmings.com? Probably not much—not because that shallow tonneau-covered bed doesn’t seem very utilitarian, more because the converted Coupe de Ville, treated to a full restoration, appears too nice for any heavy lifting these days. Then again, if it ever does get called upon to carry a load, that rebuilt 500-cu.in. Cadillac should provide enough torque to get the job done. From the seller’s description:
This car was built as a very nice driver, but, as often happens, it also became a car that shows very well. It now has approx. 12,000 miles since completion.
