Dave Van Posted July 24, 2022 Posted July 24, 2022 thanks!!!! i LIKE THE ODD....That is toward the top of the pile!!! 1
Maindrian Pace Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 That is just incredible, and the body work is just so clean, perhaps crisper than the 1:1 version. Truly monumental. 1
David G. Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 Expert level kit-bashing and fabricating skills! An amazing replica of a delightfully ostentatious vehicle. I'm curious, have you contacted the owners to share it with them? David G. 1
Dentz Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 You win Models! lol. Too cool. Saw the actual car in person once. Give this one a go. It's in my city 1
happy grumpy Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 That made me smile, A testament to imagination and creativity. I like it. 1

Jay Ohrberg, the creator in the 80s, and the actual owner Michael Dezer could find her interesting
David G. Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 I don't imagine they move it often but I still wonder how it's transported. David G.
Howard Cohen Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 In 1990 or 91, Jay brought that car to Speedorama Custom Car Show in Toronto. My friend was the show manager and 'conned' me into helping put a coat of wax on the car, a result of my selling Meguiar's Wax at the time. The car was unloaded from a flatbed truck and moved with a fork lift, driving such a long vehicle around corners was not possible. Your model brought back some fun memories as they filled the pool with water and had some ladies model in it 1
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) Wow. Takes the concept of "wretched excess" to a whole new level, but in a good way. Great job on that crazy thing. Edited July 30, 2022 by Ace-Garageguy not long enough response 1

Your model brought back some fun memories as they filled the pool with water and had some ladies model in it Hi Howard. Thank you so much for sharing that incredible story !. By chance, did you have any photo of the car from that show that you'd like to share with me?. There were not so many pictures of her from that period of time. I was a teen back then and knew only the pics from the Guinness book of records. You may find funny the fact that I have also put some coats of Meguiar's wax on my model !.
TimKustom Posted July 31, 2022 Posted July 31, 2022 Very awesome build of an iconic car. I loved seeing it the Guinness Book of World records and was fascinated with it's demise. Even more amazing that it has been "restored". Your model is incredible and seems it would be a centerpiece for your Cadillac collection. 1
gautreau Posted August 1, 2022 Posted August 1, 2022 WOOOOOOOOOWW! That is an incredible looking build! Amazing job! 1
Jonathan Posted August 1, 2022 Posted August 1, 2022 Wow! There's Land Yacht and then there is this! Killer work! I had a 1984 Fleetwood once (was my Granddad's). I thought it was long. We used to joke that once you were out of the drive, you were half way to your destination. I love what you've done here. 1
Lunajammer Posted August 1, 2022 Posted August 1, 2022 Stunning! ? Thanks especially for sharing the build photos. 1
Howard Cohen Posted August 26, 2022 Posted August 26, 2022 Bonjour Jean-Philippe - sorry, no pictures at the moment. FYI...you can use any Meguiar's NON-SILICONE product on your model cars. I have used them for many years. 1
Tommy124 Posted August 26, 2022 Posted August 26, 2022 Great idea, stunning skills on display, FANTASTIC model! 1
