Jeffcad Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 Hi guys ! Here's my last built of the year. The '76 Eldorado is the last official convertible by Cadillac, and I've made this one from the JoHan's Coupe. New paint, trims, wheels, WWs, detailed interior.... I'll give her a better and more accurate hard boot cover next spring. Hope you'll like it. 1
espo Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 Very sharp clean looking. I like how you detailed the interior.
Claude Thibodeau Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 Hi Jean-Philippe! Wow, stunning, as usual. I'm particularly impressed by the interior... Al the brightwork looks 1/1. Bravo! CT
AMT68 Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) Wow! That is stunning. I have an appreciation for these Eldos and the color choice is perfect. I like all the interior detail on the door panels and I'd like to do the same as I have two of the "Rancher" kits. And I just realized the pin striping looks perfect.

Rockford Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 There are not enough models of Cadillacs. They epitomised what the American car was and what the rest of the world wanted to be. I know these Eldos get some bad press but there was nothing in the whole wide world like them and never will be. You have built a beautiful representation of FWD Eldo and you have my utmost respect!
shoopdog Posted December 21, 2020 Posted December 21, 2020 Spectacular work inside and out! We happen to have a pretty nice black 76 Eldo in the shop right now.
peteski Posted December 21, 2020 Posted December 21, 2020 Another beauty from Jean-Philippe. I love the interior and the pinstripes.

It's unfortunately not the golden age for kits and promos anymore. Younger generation have moved on from the love of cars and building kits, so the offer nowadays isn't what is was a few decades ago. As a "Cadillac only" collector, how much I would love to see 1970s Cadillac Coupes or Sedans to be made, in fact, to see what Jo-Han has never produced... I don't think manufacturers will invest money into these models no more, Cadillacs or not. Revell's just into Cadillac lowriders or customs, no stock versions anymore. Maybe the 3d printing era will bring back a few of these original boats.. Thanks again !. Edited December 22, 2020 by Jeffcad
doorsovdoon Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 Stunning Cadillac. Very nice build indeed!
