sportandmiah Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Here is my `59 What Cadillac model is that? Beautiful!!
MrObsessive Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Gotta love those Caddies!. My question to Montelsc is, where did you find a '76 Coupe DeVille and what scale is it? That looks like one of Modelhaus's finest! I'm quite sure that's in 1/25 scale------whoever did the original master did an excellent job! Very nice job Michael! I can remember when these were new when I was in high school......I always thought they were very classy looking, but was kinda disappointed when the smaller "downsized" '77's were intro'd. They weren't bad cars-------they just seemed to lose some of their distinctiveness from being shrunken down so much. Not to mention their intro spelled the end of the true two and four door hardtops.
Janne Herajärvi Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Thank you Dingo! Its Monogram `59 Cadillac Eldorado Seville Here`s couple more shots of it.
CorvairJim Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 This is my Polar Lights Ecto 1-based 1959 Caddy Fleetwood/S&S Hearse, based loosely on the car in the movie "Harold & Maude". I lowered the front suspension, swapped the rolling stock for different gangster whites that would fit parts box Cragar S/S wheels, and chromed the taillight pods as used on the '59 Eldorado.

edward smith Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Wow Cruz, gorgeous build! The shine on that paint looks amazing. What color is that?
charlie8575 Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Some very nice builds here. David- how did you cobble up that late '80s hearse? It came out very nicely. Charlie Larkin
cruz Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Wow Cruz, gorgeous build! The shine on that paint looks amazing. What color is that? Thanks Ed. That color is Persian Aqua from Rainbow Products, the guy is no longer selling these paints. I used Tamiya for the clearcoat.
HotRodaSaurus Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Here's a couple of mine: First up is a 1/32 Gunze Sangyo 1959 Seville converted to a 1960 flat top sedan. Next is an AMT ECTO 1 , I boxed in the rear panel just to see what it looked like and fabricated a rear bumper centre section. Never really finished it. Another Gunze 59 but this time strengthened up and made into a slot car. Get the back end to swing out on the curves and you are guaranteed to wipe out the opposition last, yet another Gunze 59, this time converted into a coupe. The hardest part for both of these was removing the Seville moldings and leaving smooth sides. Hope you enjoy, These were fun builds years ago when my son helped me with many projects John
exnyman Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 this would be the 1 i built that i like the most !Its a totally 1 off FWD fleetwood caddy its all hand painted no decals ! Nice! This shows how GM missed the boat by not offering this body in a coupe! They should have done the Buick Roadmaster, Caddy Fleetwood and Caprice/Impala SS asa two door. The only reason I never bought a 94-96 Impala SS was because It didn't come as a two door!
Brian Fishburn Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 Does a "yeah, I know I need to get back to work on this one" count? 1959 "Coupe Devil"
Chuck Most Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 So far, this is the only Caddy I've built (besides the JoHan '77 Coupe Deville)- a hearse based on the old Ecto ambulance- And another Ecto being turned into a pickup
Darin Bastedo Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 This one isn't mine, but I saw it years ago and saved the pic for inspiration.
Zed Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 This one isn't mine, but I saw it years ago and saved the pic for inspiration. Darin, that's crazy, i just saw that topic and was going to post Badillac Hosted on Fotki It will be available soon from Jimmy Flintstone
Dr. Cranky Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 Gorgeous. Wow, what a great line up. Zed, that's a beautiful vehicle. I hope JF moves lots of them.
BKcustoms Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 I havent finished a caddy yet, But I do have cadzilla in the early mock up stages. The primer I used was old or something so it's all flaky in this pic, it was stripped a few days after I took that pic.
Deathgoblin Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 this would be the 1 i built that i like the most !Its a totally 1 off FWD fleetwood caddy its all hand painted no decals ! Okay, where'd you find the Fleetwood. Nice paint work on that one. Gorgeous.
Ryan S. Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 Some beautiful looking Caddy's in here! I'm loving the customs.
Bill Edman Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 Who makes cadzilla?? I havent finished a caddy yet, But I do have cadzilla in the early mock up stages. The primer I used was old or something so it's all flaky in this pic, it was stripped a few days after I took that pic.
