Perspect Scale Modelworks Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 This is a redo of a Johan 1970 Cadillac Coupe Deville I did a couple of years ago. The clearcoat I used never cured properly so I had to strip the body. It sat for 2 years before I got the nerve to redo the bodywork and paint. It's the same color scheme I used on a 1974 Eldorado with a set of Kelsey Hayes spokes and white walls from 3DScaleparts. The roof is covered with Model Car Garage's vinyl top kit. Let me know what you think. Thanks 5
Zippi Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 That's a Big ole Caddy. Red and white always goes together nicely. Great job.
David G. Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 Gorgeous Model! The wire wheels really sell it. David G.
espo Posted June 7, 2022 Posted June 7, 2022 Beautiful looking finishes inside and out. Like the wire wheels.
TNT Posted June 7, 2022 Posted June 7, 2022 That is sweet. Will have to check out them after market parts.
Bills72sj Posted June 7, 2022 Posted June 7, 2022 Very nice. Did you add the turn signal and shifter levers?

Thanks David. Mike at 3DScaleParts makes really cool parts and these Kelsey Hayes wires are no exception. I think they add depth and life to the car.

I'm still waiting for the invoice. 19 hours ago, Bills72sj said: Very nice. Did you add the turn signal and shifter levers? Yes. The shifter, turn signal and steering wheel adjuster stalks are scratch built as well as the interior lights and headliner. The visor are from Iceman Collections. The rearview and side mirrors, and door handles are from the Revell Caddy lowrider kit. 22 hours ago, Jeffcad said: Very nice and cool Caddy!. If Jeff says it's cool I gotta believe him. Thank you sir.
Jeffcad Posted June 8, 2022 Posted June 8, 2022 Hi Jay ! Oh yes it is !!!. Knowing what a regular Jo-Han's interior looks like and what you did with it is great. The wood-grain paint treatment is awesome too. The wire wheels make her a bit more sporty and the color combo is a success. Did you rechrome the bumpers ?
TooOld Posted June 9, 2022 Posted June 9, 2022 Great job on the repaint , that color is beautiful ! Really like those Kelsey Hayes wheels !
StevenGuthmiller Posted June 9, 2022 Posted June 9, 2022 Gotta have a set of those wheels!! They'd look fantastic on an upcoming 1959 Desoto Fireflite convertible I have planned! Steve

The bumpers and all of the trim were done in BMF. 5 hours ago, StevenGuthmiller said: Gotta have a set of those wheels!!

I have another set with the wide whitewalls on a 1959 Cadillac Fleetwood. The Cadillac crests on the center caps are not well defined but a decal would take care of that.
Chuckyg1 Posted June 10, 2022 Posted June 10, 2022 A buddy of mine had one of these in the late seventies. A great cruiser, like floating on a cloud. Great build overall. The wheels fit the car perfectly. Outstanding work on the interior.
