Hasagawa 66 Cadillac

[yellowsportwagon]

Hasagawa curbside with 65 Grand Prix roof swap. Put a real Johan dash in with a homemade console top. AMT 65 Riv wires with Nascar valve cover breathers for center caps.

Wow - very nice ! So you grafted a 1/25 roof onto an 1/24 model ? Fits perfectly !

[Rob Hall]

Slick...that roof looks great on there...sharp color also.

It’s 1:25 scale if you put it next to a Johan 66 it’s the same size.

Glad you mention the roof swap. While it looks almost normal you somehow something is different. Looks like it should be this way. I agree with the others on the paint color, looks great.

That turned out great Tim.  Perfect color and wheels for a Phantom Cadillac.

[Dave Van]

Nice work!!! I like the kit warts and all......wish it was easier to get.

Beautiful result! Your photos really show it off well...I'm a fan of outdoor lighting (and I don't have the patience to build a diorama!).

Great use of odd parts to make something NICE! She's a beauty inside and out. Is that genuine Iris Mist? Evening Orchid?

Great caddy. I like this model year, it looks so awesome in this color. Great mods the result is outstanding.

No this is something I invented. It’s a lot bluer than Iris mist. Here’s it next to an Iris mist Pontiac.

Oh yeah, big difference seeing them side-by-side. Never can be sure of computer monitor colors! Either way, it's a heck of a nice color, and is completely believable as an OEM color choice for the time.

Well heck you knocked that outta the park, I mean trip pinners  on the wires, the color and stance , and the seamless roof swap, home run! Me dig.

Hi Tim!

Great design, perfect execution, bravo! 

I can't decide what I like the most: the slick roof transplant, or the unique hue...

Good looking Caddy. The roof swap looks natural. Nice lines. Cool!

[Jeffcad]

Beautiful Cadillac!. That roof suits the design very well, and the color's pretty cool.  Great job!

[Steve H]

That is a BIG beautiful Caddy Tim. Beautiful job on the roof, and as the others have said, that colour is perfect. Did I mention it’s BIG….

I need to get a big ‘ol Caddy, great looking cars.

Cheers, Steve

Looks great!!

[Koellefornia Kid]

Wow, that top looks great on that body!  The beautiful color and the nice wheels adds an extra dash of elegance! Very nice work!

[Bills72sj]

That looks great! Take me for a ride!

[slusher]

Beautifully done…

What a perfect blending of roof and body.  I can't decide if it should be a Calais Custom or an Eldorado Custom Coupe.  The smooth sides and Fleetwood level rocker panel chrome trim are excellent.

I was thinking Eldorado Seville

Super nice Caddy!

Cool Caddy!  I really like the body color.  Nice work on the interior.
