The Instagram page @CarFrontSwaps does exactly what it says on the tin. The slightly crazy person behind the account has generated a following of more than 25,000 people by photoshopping the front ends of cars onto different cars. No front end swap, no matter how ridiculous, is off the table. Just take this absurd Chevy Camaro and Cadillac Escalade mashup they posted to their page recently for example.
This absolutely cursed General Motors product mashup is based on a fifth-generation Chevy Camaro base model finished in Switchblade Silver. That means this fictional Cadillac coupe would feature a 3.6L LLT V6 engine, rather than the more sought-after 6.2L LS3 V8.

The front fascia, meanwhile, has been lifted from a second-generation Cadillac Escalade. This is a bit of an odd decision on the part of the artist, in our opinion, as the second-generation Escalade is some years older than the fifth-generation Chevy Camaro. The third-generation Escalade might have been a more appropriate candidate for this photoshop job, as it was sold at the same time as the fifth-gen Camaro, but we digress.
This odd coupe/SUV combination looks strange, but we’re actually surprised at how well the fifth-generation Camaro body wears the Cadillac front fascia. That said, we don’t think GM really missed an opportunity in not offering a Cadillac vehicle based on the Camaro’s Zeta platform. After all, the Corvette-based Cadillac XLR was far from a sales hit, so it seems highly unlikely a comparable Camaro-based product would have fared any better.

For the love of god, please STOP!
Great, here comes all the contentless articles of nothing to foster a canvas for ad space.
Happy new year?
Yes, please stop! It seems that one person is good at photoshop. I want to see an evolution, not a cut a paste. What would a NEXT GEN 2021 escalade-esque sedan look like?
these are hilarious!!! the worst they are, the better!!!
Didn’t read. Slow news day? Please stop!!!!!
Stop the madness, you’re looking quite stupid anymore.
The common word here is STOP!
I hope this trend doesn’t escalade.
NO NO and NO…..
The ” slightly crazy person behind the account” needs to step away from the crack pipe.
It reminds me of the old good American sedan days
I wish Cadillac or Buick would make something on the Camaro platform. Imagine having 3 more inches of wheelbase so you get a usable back seat and something softer than the rock-hard suspension on the Camaro SS. Heck, let Buick put the turbo V6 from the old Caddy CT6 in there, paint it black and call it a Grand National.
What if, back in the day, Oldsmobile had gotten an F body car, as they reportedly were going to? Maybe a Buick? If DeSoto or Edsel had lived, what would their pony cars have looked like? Now that might be worth photoshopping.
I’m actually surprised but if Cadillac ever entered the pony car wars, I like this rendering but maybe in a different colour
Somebody’s got too much time on their hands with this stuff and it’s not working ..🙄 😒
Burn it, nobody should have to suffer this is their lives. This year was supposed to be better….
I like it gives the Camaro a better front end look u can call it Camalade. Also you could dress it up to look even better awesome build!!!
