Monogram 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Seville

[Deathgoblin]

This was a very nice kit to assemble. The windshield was broken when I got it, so I grabbed out the one from the 60 Impala kit. The paint is Duplicolor GM light blue over a base coat of Tamiya Coral Blue, and made it more of an aqua tone.

That's a good looking Caddy.  Love those big ole fins.

Very nice!!

That is absolutely stunning! These look so beautiful in stock form, I don't think I could bring myself to do my usual "restomod thing". I picked up one of these at a show last year, and after seeing your build, I may have to move this up to the front of the list.

Looks great!!!

[Supernurd]

Awesome!  ?

[Classicgas]

Very nice.

Beautiful build. Nice work on the chrome.

Beautiful boat

Great looking Cadillac. That had to take some foil to trim this. Likie the neatly detailed body and engine compartment.

Excellent build. Color looks great, beautiful engine compartment, and the underside weathering is very well done.

Surprisingly, the windshield was a  pretty easy fit.  It wasn't quite exact.  I lopped off the pins on the inside of the roof and slid the glass forward until I was just at the edge of the top of it, then clamped into place and glued it.   I may try to make a replacement for the Impala later from the caddy's original piece.

That's a beautiful Caddy, very nice work.  Clean work on the miles of chrome.

I'm partial to Cadillacs, and this is one clean build! Nicely done. Those tires look better than the kit supplied ones too.

The tires were missing from this kit.  I snagged a set from the AMT '49 Mercury that fit.  I had other tires that'll fit the Merc.

A beautiful Cadillac!

Good save on the windshield Brian, your detail work looks great and that colour is beautiful.
