What do you call a car that started life as a 1952 Chevrolet Bel Air but had a 1950 Cadillac nose and tail mated to it?  A “Chevilac”?  A “Cadilet”?  Maybe a short drive in this beauty will shed some light on this name game problem.   As you get in and look at the updated gauge panel and the tilt steering column you are immediately tipped off that something has definitely changed.   You fire it up and head down the road.   It is obvious that the original 216 is gone.   Finding a nice straight stretch. you step down on the accelerator.   Whoa!  The unmistakable sound of miniature primaries being overtaken by monster secondaries tells you instantly that a Q-Jet is up there feeding fuel to something!  But what?  Too much torque for a mouse. so it must be a rat. right?  No. guess again.   No Bowtie power under that hood!  Your name game gets more complicated as you find out that the engine that pinned your back to the seat was a Buick Wildcat 455 hooked to Turbo 400 transmission!  Now what am I going to call it?  You decide to slow down a little to give your mind a rest and realize that this thing stops very quickly.   What now?  A look under the front of the car uncovers disc brakes.   I may not be a car guru. but I know that disc brakes didn't come on this car originally. no matter what you call it! What I do know is that disc brakes did come on Oldsmobile Cutlasses!  The name game is getting more complicated with each passing discovery.   What next. Pontiac parts mysteriously placed somewhere else?  No. but rest assured there are no Blue Oval parts anywhere!  Well. at least that won't have to be figured into the name game equation!  In the end it doesn't matter what you call this car as long as you call it yours!  My work is done and it is time for you to take over the rest of the journey of completing the interior and whatever other accessories you want to truly make it YOUR CAR!
