Strange looking car, anybody know?
Ok imagine a Corvette, but made by Cadillac instead of Chevy. It had a long front end, with the cab right by the rear end just like a corvette. It was 2 seater, and I've seen two of them so far, both black. I've been looking at Cadillac's website and it looks sort of like the XLR roadster, but it seems like the cab of the car on the XLR is just a bit too far forward to look like the car I've seen. The best way I can describe it is a Cadillac Corvette. Maybe the XLR's pictures angles are throwing me off, but does anyone know what I'm talking about?

I guess that is what I saw. haha I doubt there just so happens to be 2 exact copies of a custom car in 2 different cities. On the road it just looks like the trunk is shorter and the cab is pushed back further. idk

Oldbie that nobody knows

You're probably thinking of the XLR regardless. It's often called the "Corvette in a Tuxedo."
