Ace-Garageguy Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Fascinating conversion to a representation of a product of one of the last American coachbuilders. Very nice work. For those who don't know, H&E also built stretch limos (including JFK's), armored and otherwise, and did two of the Continental MkII convertibles for Ford.
cartpix Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Interesting subject matter & you pulled it off, superbly.
charlie8575 Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 I remember this model from the show and was totally impressed. Excellent workmanship!!!! I concur. Fantastic build! I have to imagine that if Cadillac had built a wagon back in the '50's it would have looked just like this. Outstanding work! This was a real Cadillac wagon. Hess & Eisenhardt made about a dozen or so of these. All though the 1950s-60s and into the '70s, Hess or one of the other coach-builders would build a few Caddy wagons, usually from off-the-shelf GM wagon parts on special order. For the most part, they looked pretty good. Charlie Larkin
khier Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 E X C E L L E N T However, if I may criticise, the H&E Cadillac had a normal square wagon back, not the sporty Nomad back you used.
disabled modeler Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 VERY NICE...! I am a huge fan of wagons...very well done impressive work!
The Modeling Hermit Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 The quality of your work is beyond words to describe it. This is absolutely fabulous!
zelkam Posted May 9, 2014 Author Posted May 9, 2014 Hello to all. Thank you very much for all these comments. I consider the remarks to improve. again thank you JJ E X C E L L E N T However, if I may criticise, the H&E Cadillac had a normal square wagon back, not the sporty Nomad back you used. I can only interior picture. The benches are successful, just the trunk is slightly different. I try to take into account the next time.
