This Jo-Han kit was originally released in 1965, the same year The Beatles released the album Help!. My kit was a rebox from the 70´s (according to Scalemates). Johan has also released two other versions of the 1931 Cadillac, Town Brougham and Sport Phaeton, all with V-16 engine. I do have the two in the stash waiting.

The model was built out of the box in the summer of 2023. Despite it´s old age the kit was very accurate but did have quite a bit of flash in the sprues. Building the model was quite straightforward although the instructions were a little different from what we are used to today. Biggest problem was deciding on the color, I finally chose this Tamiya Haze Grey (TS-32).

In the finished model there is an operating rumble seat, a small locker for a golf bag on the side, opening hood and posable wheels.

That turned out absolutely beautiful.  That will make a proud display piece.  I have this one in my stash.  So many kits, so little time.

That's a looker Kapo.  Really nicely done.  The Tamiya Haze Grey fits the ticket on this build.
