While Freeman started with two Cadillac limousines, the finished product is a long way from anything that ever rolled out of Detroit. It’s got a Caddy 425 V-8 under that 10-foot hood, and Freeman figured out how to link both cars’ steering gear to create the quad-steer front end. But Freeman wasn’t out to build a prop car or a low-speed parade float. He wanted Nemo to become roadgoing reality, a real car. So the Caddy frames got junked, replaced by a custom frame that would provide the rigidity necessary for an eight-yard-long roadster.
