 <\/p>\n

Legendary custom car designer Chip Foose has announced that the official unveil of Madam X<\/em>, his 1939 Cadillac custom,<\/em> will take place at the BASF booth (# 20367) in the main hall at the Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas, on Nov. 1 at 12:30 PM<\/span>. The event will feature an autograph session, a short presentation from Foose, and the world premiere of the highly anticipated Madam X<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Fabrication began with a 1939 Cadillac Four Door 60 Special and was inspired by an original 1935 concept sketch by GM designer Art Ross. Madam X,<\/em> now re-bodied as a 2-door coupe, has been lowered, shortened, and customized into a masterpiece of old-school coachbuilding. Foose has added his own eye for clean design and bespoke touches on this one-of-a-kind creation for automotive dealership magnate Wes Rydell. After three decades of\u00a0 stylistic evolution and perfecting his craft, Madam X<\/em> represents a new chapter in Foose\u2019s 30 years in design, and one that should leave a major impression at the SEMA show.<\/p>\n

The Madam X <\/em> features a Corvette Gen V LT-1 motor, an 8-speed 8L90 automatic transmission from a Cadillac Escalade coupled to a Camaro Z01 third member, C6 Corvette suspension front and rear, and Pirelli tires to ensure modern performance alongside its classic design. In addition, the body features all-new chrome trim, a custom leather interior, one-off cloth Carson top, custom-mixed BASF paint, painted blonde wood dash, and MHT billet aluminum wheels styled to resemble classic Cadillac hubcaps.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t wait to finally pull the wraps off the Madam X<\/em> Cadillac,\u201d said Chip. \u201cWith its mix of old-school class and cutting-edge technology, the Madam X <\/em>is becoming one of my all-time favorite builds.\u201d<\/p>\n
