John Nichols' "High Roller" '93 Cadillac Fleetwood from Louisville, Kentucky, has to be one of the very coolest luxury lowriders rolling in the Blue Grass State. This is true at the shows, the hopping pits or on the boulevard. John's fine Fleetwood is a multi-dimensional vehicle, combining a clean show-quality exterior with a competition-level hydraulics setup. This Caddy also has a smoothly purring 350-c.i.d. V-8 engine sitting on its painted frame to make it one cool cruiser.
The first part of the equation-the Neptune blue finish-was handled by John himself. As you might guess by its name, John's the owner of John Nichols Collision/Kustom Paint, a top shop in Louisville, and he orchestrated the full frame-off project from there. Brandon Smith and Louisville's Pitbull Hydraulics teamed up on a 14-battery hydro setup that has a bite as mean as its bark, and makes High Roller such a favorite at hopping competitions and exhibitions throughout the Midwest.
John put his High Roller on the road in just two months, which might be some kind of record for a car this nice. Credit the success to his automotive expertise and his "love for cars" (John also thanks Jesse, Keenan, Brandon, Brent, Bobby, Mike, Sean, James, Freddie and "anyone else I may have missed.") John promises "more to come" with "two new cars in the works." Hey, this guy's obviously on a roll and we look forward to seeing what new heights he'll be able to attain.
