Wow! Very nice. What kit is that? I'd like to get one of those.

[Janne Herajärvi]

Thank you. This is Monogram kit. Eldorado Seville, blue Caddy on cover.

Nice looking build , Janne. That thing looks so big, if you put a propeller on the back it could pass for a boat.

A very good friend of mine had one of those when I was in High School.

It did not have Lake Pipes or the girl under the hood.

Though there were several in the car.

Really nice, and I like the subtle custom touches (well, the girl under the hood isn't all that subtle! ) What hubcaps did you use, as they're not the stock ones? I like the look of them. In the mid '80s, I had a mint 1:1 black '58 Cadillac Series 62 4dr hardtop, and it was kind of like piloting either a Greyhound bus or docking the Queen Mary, especially when parallel parking or maneuvering it to get it in the garage! At the time, I lived in an apartment complex that was built around the late '40s, and the garages in back faced each other. Clearly they were designed before cars got as long as they did. It would take about five forward/ reverse/ turns to line it up, and then the only way I could close the single piece metal garage door was if I touched the rubber bumper "Dagmars" against the back wall. The back seat could have accommodated a harem!

Very well done! First time I have seen a vinyl top added... it works.

[Railfreak78]

Very well done I like this boat a lot!

[Janne Herajärvi]

Thank you guys

Jim: I used hubcaps and tires from Revell Mercury kit.

[Tommy Kortman]

Very nice job. The paint looks fantastic.

Beautiful Caddy! Really like those big old boats!

I totally missed the lake pipes at first look! Lots of chrome!
