Forget the Escalade. Forget luxury crossovers trying to also be “coupes”. Forget (if you can) the Murano CrossCabrio. This is the vehicle that combines the presence of a 4×4 with the impractical jauntiness of a drop-top two door.
We need to give credit to the builder for not just dropping the body on a Blazer frame, but actually adapting the Cadillac motor and frame to accommodate a 4×4 drivetrain and suspension. Additional points awarded for no American flag hood decal or dumbass bumper stickers. Most importantly, no longhorns on the hood. That said, the conspicuously installed aftermarket stereo system detracts from the gravitas of the whole setup.
Overall, this seems to be the perfect vehicle for a construction boss to roll up to a job site in. He’s not here to do any real dirty work, but a few measly obstacles aren’t going to hold him back.
