Steve It's amazing how many people are looking for one of these. I don't have another one, but wish I did. I have others and bought them many years ago. One from the mid nineties with open hood and up-top. In the end he wasn't doing those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve @StevenGuthmiller Steve, I will keep an eye out for a '61 Caddy at a reasonable price - ??? 2 doors are all resin so trying to piece.one together is impossible. They are becoming rarer than chickens teeth. So much we had available for so long, are all but gone now in collections. People with deep pockets are willing to pay a fortune for these now - CRAZY!! Love the stuff you build. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As they used to say: "Swing low, sweet chariot". Bravo! CT @Claude Thibodeau Hi Claude Been stashing resin kits and other hard to find kits for many years, like many others have. I'm a "DINASAUR in the hobby and somehow saw this day coming when things would begin to disappear, so I started a stash for the future. Boy has that paid off. I didn't see this many changes coming, but probably like you, I put away what I liked. No regrets on what I didn't buy. I have more than enough to enjoy just like you probably do to.
