Jeffcad Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Hi guys. Here's a tribute to my own beloved 1973 Cadillac DeVille that I used to drive some years ago. I had a damaged 1973 Eldorado promo left that I wanted to restore with the exact same colours combination than my late DeVille. So here she is, with new paint and polished coats, interior wood-ish door panels, carpeting, white walls, front and rear fender shock absorber lines and detailed bumpers, detailed hood with thin gold lines. Scripts needs attention and I aslo need to find side mirrors, which is quite hard to do !. Anyway, hope that Caddy will please some of you. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doorsovdoon Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 That's very nicely done. Would love see these, and other 70's land yachts, reproduced one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High octane Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Looks beautiful as back in the 70's I owned a '73 Coupe deVille and then later a '79 Coupe deVille when the Caddys were big cars, not like the Caddys of today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude Thibodeau Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Hi JP! Well, masterfull, as usual! Bravo. A gentleman in my small town had that car, but in Dove Grey. Your colour and/or Dove gray are perfect for that stately design. May I ask what is the name or code of that GM colour? CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merci infiniment !. For 1973, Cadillac calls it "Harvest Yellow", code mfg 81. It's a pale but rich cream colour that goes really well with these ligns, you're absolutely right. Thanks again.

Thanks very much. Stripes are 0.2 and 0.1 millimeters gold decal lines on this Eldorado. Decal Brand is "Studio27". They exist in many colours. Silver, Black, White, Gold if I remember correctly. They come in a card of 0.1 to 0.5 mil that you can find on Ebay but availability is sometimes limited. Quality is very good but it is so thin that it is quite hard to apply once watered , especially if you want tight ligns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisBcritter Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 So, so clean! Nice to see it in a color that doesn't end in "...Firemist" for a change! How bad was the damage you had to fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
