One more bit of trivia;

The kit is labeled "Boss Man" because Jo-Han was trying to tie it in with the then-popular Dukes Of Hazzard TV show.  Boss Hogg had a white Caddy convertible on that show, but it wasn't a 68.

Well what year Caddy did Boss Hogg have if it wasn't a '68?

Definitely a steal at that price. I love Johan kits and this is one of their finest. The engine bay and undercarriage aren't up to today's standards but everything else certainly is.

Some earlier Johans had unrealistically shallow interiors, not so desirable on a convertible, but with this one they got it right, and the poseable steering is a plus.

I did this one curbside years ago. I made the whitewalls and Cadillac emblem myself but it's otherwise box stock.  Note the TV - a phone is also included.

Yes they did. JoHan offered their '64 through the '68 Cadillac's as both 2-door hardtops and convertibles. I don't about before 1964, or after 1968.

Jo-Han Caddies were all four-door Fleetwoods from 1958 through 1962, then deVilles from 1963 through 1970, along with the Eldorado coupe from 1967 through 1976. Then Coupe deVilles from 1977 through 1979.
