Here's my 1/25 scale JoHan 1977 Cadillac Coupe deVille in Naples Yellow with white Landau vinyl top and sunroof. Way too many hours spent restoring parts, repainting, & detailing. Body finished with clearcoat. For the interior the wood applique was made from dollar store shelf liner. Carpeting made from felt I got from Walmart. Chrome silver tone self adhesive vinyl car sticker from Canadian Tire and Molotow chrome pen used for brightwork. This car is equipped with a CB radio!

Really enjoyed your fine recreations of the '77 and '78 Coupe deVilles. Great examples of GM behemoths from a bygone era. Excellent paint and superb detail on both. Love the CB radio, "Breaker, breaker, any takers?"

Did you notice that the interior door panels are for a four door?  GM must have changed their order to a Coupe Deville too late in the process for JoHan to revise the interior.

@RomanII Interesting observation! When comparing the JoHan interior door panels to the actual car it looks like the front armrests are correct because they're longer than the rear armrests, so those are for the two door. However the wood applique on the door panels should be as long as the front armrests. For some reason JoHan did their carving for the wood applique much shorter than they should be.
