As he began building cars, he really keyed in on building a car that was show quality, but could take the abuse of every day street riding as well. Always wanting a certain set of cars, he explains the time he first saw a Euro Cadillac "I remember when I saw my first Euro Cadillac, I didn't even know what it was, but I knew I wanted one." After some research, he figured out that you couldn't just buy one at a car lot, you had to build one. "I've worked real hard to have what I have, and I'm proud of that," he explains "You don't have to do dirt to have nice things in life, you just get out there and work hard in order to play hard." Not only did Daryl build himself a Euro Cadillac that he can show and hit the street with, but he also built himself one that can grace the pages of Lowrider Magazine. Good job Daryl!
Daryl Harris would like to thank God, because without him nothing is possible. He would also like to thank Kita Lealao, who was a big inspiration for bringing down the racial wall during a time in life when people were content to stay segregated, Miguel Garibay, Max Alvarado, Lil Rick, Dwight, Eric, Jason, White Mike, Rob, Vic; his Individual brothers, also get kudos for helping to keep his mind motivated, focused, and ready to ride. He would also like to thank his wife Marian, who has been there for him, and supported him 110%. "She never tried to stop my hobby, she was always pushing forward with it and I can't thank her enough for it." Daryl adds, "I also wanted to dedicate this to my grandmother."
Owner: Daryl Harris
Vehicle: '81 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham
City/State: Sacramento, CA
Club: Individuals C.C.
Engine/Drive Train: Original 6.0 V8 Cadillac engine
Body/Paint: Always wanting a Euro Caddy, Daryl upgraded his '81 Cadillac Fleetwood front clip to an updated 90's front clip, while also adding the fiberglass front, back and side panels for that clean look that only a two door euro Cadillac can get. The House of Kolor "Sunset Pearl" was sprayed by Ben out of San Jose. The Delgado brothers took care of the pinstripping and gold leafing.
Interior: The upgraded '90's dash was fiberglassed and painted to match the car. All the interior moldings were painted orange to complement the Cadillac pillow style interior. An ACC carpet and Nardi steering wheel was added to finish off the interior.
Sound System: With the help of his fellow Individual club members, Daryl installed a Pioneer head unit, speakers and amps.
Setup: True Riders Hydraulics in Antioch, CA took care of Daryl's need for street hopping by installing 3 Pro Hopper pumps and 10 batteries in his Cadillac. All the reinforcements, molding and chrome, were also done at True Riders Hydraulics.
Tires: 13x7 Zeniths that were powder-coated Sunset Pearl to match the luxury ride.
Wheels: 155/80/R13
