Dunham Coach Motor Car Company
Les Dunham, born in 1941, started in 1957 to customize cars.
In 1973, he put the body of a
Cadillac Eldorado on a chassis of a Chevrolet Corvette,
the Corvorado (Corvette + Eldorado)
was born...

The Corvorado was used in James Bond "Live And Let Die".
Thanks to A. Beyer, I can show some photos of a model, which is part of a series with James Bond modelcars.
It is mass-produced, so it is quite cheap, but showing a good quality.
Here's a pic of the Corvorado with James Bond:

In total, Dunham built seven Corvorados.

In 1977, Les Dunham started another
project, based (again) on a Corvette,
the Caballista.
This Caballista, photographed by Arne
Bayer, is located in Germany.

The neo-classic design was successful, 50 cars were built, until 1982.

Out of these 50 Caballistas, only 5 were convertibles.

But Les Dunham is still in the
business for custom-cars,

for a 1971 Stutz Blackhawk,
he also created the spare-wheel-cover.
