Can-Con Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I got mine at the same time as the first Batman movie was in the theatres so that would have been the summer of '89. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lagib Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disabled modeler Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Guess MY "Boss Hogg's" gonna be a '68.Yep the Boss Hog and Boss Man Cadillac is a 68.....I also have a 68 HT but the body and glass is toast. I love the 66-73 Cadillacs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peekay Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 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.

unclescott58 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Did they ever made a hardtop?

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.

ChrisBcritter Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
