Jeffcad Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Hi guys ! Sharing today an old built, the Cadillac Coupe De Ville 1976 by Modelhaus. As these kits are ultra rare now I just regret to have built it at a time where my skills weren't as good as they are today. I could restore it completely though. I guess this Cadillac's still presentable and worth a few pics here, don't you think ? ...Ah, If only Revell would stop doing Customs and Lowriders to offer more old "stock" american cars ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonioseven Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 This looks BEAUTIFUL!!! I see no problem with your skills!! Fantastic work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) Looks great to me! I love those big '70s cars. The color combo is also attractive, and white interiors look very elegant. My 1:1 '85 Eldorado Biarritz has a white interior too. Edited February 21, 2019 by peteski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Great looking build. Very clean and looking show room fresh. AS for Revell and their low rider reissues, they can be reversed to build a show room model with very little work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smellyfatdude Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Talk about gorgeous! I wanted to get one of these, but sadly I waited too long, and Modelhaus shut their doors. A friend and co-worker of mine, who passed away three years ago owned the real thing, and I was going to build a replica of his car. You did an awesome job on that Coupe de Ville!

MrObsessive Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Simply Gorgeous! And you did one of my favorite cars of the '70's! I was fortunate to get this just before Modelhaus shut down their website (the first time) and it's the last complete kit I was able to get from them. Now I'm not sure I'll ever build it for sentimental reasons as they've completely shut down. I sort of consider this car the last hurrah for Cadillac because while the '77's were not bad cars, they lost something besides their size. They lost that "Cadillacness" which made them stand out for many a year. The Eldo would stick around for another couple years as the big boy, but by '79 it too got the shrink down. Take a bow on this beauty! I don't think the kit makers will EVER do a full glue kit of this car and if one of these turns up on the 'Bay...........prime your wallet!

Modelbuilder Mark Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I would not redo it. Don't try to rebuild your past. First, it looks good. Second, it represents a snap shot in time of your skill etc. I have redone old models only to regret not leaving them alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
