1959 Cadillac Ambulance Surf Wagon

[FenderMender]

This is one of two AMT 1/25 scale 1959 Cadillac Ambulance kits that was scored a number of months ago at Ollies.  Wanted to tint the windows after the interior had been detailed and it seemed a waste to do that.  On the next and different version, perhaps, tinted windows will happen. The weathered look on the Caddie is realistic enough per the box art, but I didn't feel confident to try it, even tho it certainly appeals to me. So, what resulted is a rather up-scale surf wagon which had been cared for and pampered since the 60s by some dedicated motorhead surfers.

Great looking paint and decals along with the surf boards. I like the way you shot some pictures with the neighborhood as a background.

Thank you, sir.  The neighborhood will almost always be a background for my photos as I prefer natural sunlight and the openness of the city street to set up the prop stand.
