The Cadzilla body came from Jimmy flintstone I think it was called leadstone, the only thing I don't like about it is how thick it is in some places but that's an easy fix.

There thats better! Build this snap kit for a planned racetrack diarama, just had fun plugging, sanding, painting this easy kit. Decals were made by me.

These are all badass but my vote is the 1961. Best year for coupe devilles in my opinion. Even Elvis said 1961 was his favorite year for Cadillacs ! That is top shelf !!!! Where did you get that? I need one

Thank you Louis!

Mister Cranky, it is the Polar Lights Ecto-1 snapkit. It is a bit crisper in overall detail, and a bit slimer than the AMT. (and cheaper) The body is almost identical, but the AMT Kit sports separate pieces for the taillights and the running lights in the grille. Both models need some drilling (molded in headlights) and if you go for an Ecto the AMT features better detail. On the other Hand it is much easier to build a stock Miller-Meteor out of the Polar Lights Kit, since it has the stock bumper in the back.

The AMT also features one piece glass, that is molded in transparent plastic, but it has some thin lines engraved along the side windows (that is where the windows on the movie car were dark), the Polar Lights kits windows are two separate parts (from the B-Pillar to the back it is a black piece), and front is just plain clear, but beautifully molded, absolutley tramsparent. The windscreen seems to have a better shape too.

If I had to choose, then I#d take the Polar Lights kit.

Oh, and the PL has some beautiful whitewalls and stock hubcaps, whereas the AMT sports steelwheels with dogdish (one piece) and some wide Good Years.
