Jo-Han 1931 Cadillac Sport Phaeton

Finally done. Still missing 2 door handles and the distributor.

Had three door handles but one flew away when I was trying to installing with a tweezer.

Looks great Johnny, ain't it amazing how those little parts can sprout wings and fly away never to be seen again!

Elegant looking paint colors and finish. Like the interior. 

[bbowser]

Love it!  Those JoHan classics are real gems, some of the best kits even now.

That is the color the body was molded in. Just polished and waxed it.

sharp build

Excellent Colour Choice, and clean build style.

Good Show, Johnny!

Very nice job and really cool to see a kit that my brother built nearly 60 yrs ago! 
 

I feel your pain on the tweezer lost part projectiles, I spent a good 40 min sweeping the floor of my man cave today as well as picking through my dirty garbage can in search of two lost parts. I’m getting good at reproducing lost parts! 😁

Beautiful Cadillac!

Nicely done. Those were such great cars.

[Rattlecan Dan]

Good job! Nice looking classic.

Fine Build, on a kit you seldom see built any more. Sad, because I think these were the best Jo-Han kit ever tooled.

 

Good Show.

Johnny, what color did you use on the body?

That is the color it was molded in. I just polished it and waxed it. The fenders too.
