Chris Pearson has long favored muscle wagons and SUVs for their rarity. His passion began with early-’90s GMC Syclone and Typhoon trucks, but it was Cadillac’s 556-horsepower, supercharged V-8 wagon that sealed it. With only 354 produced in 2014, he chose an automatic for daily drivability and added aftermarket wheels to preserve the originals.
Capable of 0–60 mph in under four seconds, the car blends utility with performance. Largely unmodified, it inspired the co-founding of The Auto Den, a secure space for collector vehicles. With just 4,800 miles, it still makes occasional South Tampa outings—groceries in tow.
