Jeffcad Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) Hi guys ! This time again I am sharing with you my last transformation. Another Cadillac of course!. Last fall I discovered that Hasegawa had released a new version of their "Amercian 66" Series, ( including their Coupe Deville ) into a "lowrider" series. I jumped on the occasion to buy 2 kits in order to create from them a series 75 limousine. Hasegawa's kits are not as refine as the Jo-Han's Coupe Deville of the same year, but working from Johan's 66 Caddies is inconcevable to me, since these promos or kits are very rare and really expensive. And to be honest, Hasegawa's are really good to start from. So there she is !. Chassis, B,C and D pillars, interior including passengers compartment have been modified or created of course, as well as original wheelbase. Then, all the roof have been levelled up cause limos roof were higher than regular Deville series. I have added a "vinyle-ish" top option on my model, to make it even more rare, since most of the real 66 limos were not having it. Over the last 20 years, I have seen only one model conversion like this one, without the vinyle top. So, since no Cadillac limousines have ever been made by any kit manufacturer, I guess that my model is maybe unique. It's by far the most complicated transformation I have ever done. Hope you'll like it ! Edited May 20, 2019 by Jeffcad

espo Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 Very realistic looking and a great paint job. Now then, with those left over parts are we going to see a short Caddy ? My be even a Corvette type build ?
tkzwolf Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 Nice work. Can't tell at all on the finished model where you grafted the two kits.
Rob Hall Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 Sharp build....interesting touch on no rear window, don't think I've seen a 1:1 like that..
