TarheelRick Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Two very unique and well designed builds. That Caddy is a work of art, especially considering what you had to begin with. I have that one in my stash and am strongly considering using it as body panels for a mid 50's style custom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcelT4 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) A another pic. The rear doors get's open. The complete building can found on http://www.wettringer-modellbauforum.de/forum/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=66504 Edited January 21, 2018 by MarcelT4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike999 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Great work, especially on that Revell kit! I couldn't even get that one built bone-stock. Years ago, Collector Car magazine ran an article on a '56 Cadillac wagon (IIRC) that was custom-built for the actor Burt Lancaster. I went looking and couldn't find it, but I found this beauty. Two of these '56 Caddy wagons, with clear Plexiglas roof panels, were built for the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs. They hauled guests from the airport up to the resort. (Just like The Overlook Hotel in "The Shining!") Rumor says Harley Earl himself was involved in designing/building them. This one was on eBay in 2015, with a starting bid of $175K. http://gmauthority.com/blog/2015/04/the-1956-cadillac-wagon-un-woody-marries-utility-and-rarity-ebay-find/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
