HotRodaSaurus Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Thats gorgeous, especially in black I love the 60 Cadillac, probably because I owned one(see my avatar ) and more so that the much more popular 1959. This looks really great, is it a Modelhaus body kit with their front and rear ends? Just looking though, the side trim looks a little more 59ish than the 60 as 1960s Eldorado had two smaller bands of chrome trim following a similar line to the 59 with paint separation in between. Cheers for doing a 1960s, John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Very cool!I've always liked the look of the '60 over the '59.A little more subdued.You have to admit, the '59 was a bit on the "gaudy" side. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 Trucker Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Hi, thanks for your feedbackSome respond to questions: the Body I 2012 in ebay bought, no idea who the manufacturer is the fine lines of the 1960 Year of construction I never have dared do 60s Cadillac on the last images is so narrow because left a 1:24 Cadillac Franklin Mint is a right and 4 door Promo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenGuthmiller Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 In that photo of all three cars, the '60 looks awfully small. You're right Harry. Now that I look at it, it looks a little narrow. Even though the Franklin Mint car is 1/24th, the Johan '61 is 1/25th scale. Looks narrow compared to that as well. Still looks awfully nice though!

Ron Hamilton Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) I like the triple black car. Several years ago, I did a resin '60 Eldorado. I do not want to hijack your thread, but if you want me to show it to you, I will be happy to. I shaved the emblems from mine, and I created a '60 interior from the photos I saw in the Cadillac brochure, as my trans kit looked a lot like yours. I am going to do one of my '61 Fleetwoods before the end of the year, as I have the paint to do it in.
