PICS- Babies got a new pair of shoes.

Finally a decent set of wheels and tires and a homemade convertible boot. Isn't she sexy?

Way to go Geno.  Looks much better with the wheels and boot.

Yep.  Looks good.  I think several of those have been sold on your post.  You're welcome JADA.  LOL.   These are the Welly wheels, right?   

[Geno]

Thanks guys, I do appreciate it. Randy those are the Welly wheels. I actually had to take my Dremel and cut the JADA wheels off, I done everything else I could to remove them from the axles, they just wouldn't budge. The Welly wheels were a piece of cake, I did however have to drill the holes slightly bigger to fit the JADA axles. The Welly Cadillac now has a set of Pegasus chrome reverse wheels and tires lol. But it looks good. I even emailed JADA Toys pictures of this model hoping they may do one in their Showroom Floor series. Ya never know lol, maybe it'll just pi$$ 'em off, who knows.

Good idea about making it a stock version.   Wonder what it takes to convince them?  Looks great.

FWIW this is my final version.  I went ahead and bought a beat up Franklin Mint 1953 Caddy for $9 and pulled the wheels from it.  I painted the top semi gloss black and replaced the antenna and once I put a black wash in the grille it goes on the shelf.

A stock version, even a coupe would be nice.

Looks good, Gary.

Awesome Gary, great job. I'd love one in coupe form as well.

Geno, the wheel swap has improved the look 100%.
