1970 Cadillac Deville Convertible?

[revshag]

I'm looking for a 1970 Cadillac Deville Convertible (or hardtop). I found someone on eBay who is casting them in resin and I bought one cheap, but it's pretty bad (I got what I paid for). I was wondering if anyone knows of any good resin companies that produces this kit.

Thank you.

There's only one that I know of, and I suspect it's the one you got. From the seller who has really lousy photos on Feebay, taken from a long distance away of the car in front of a mirror?

[MrObsessive]

That sounds like him Bob! I totally ignore auctions with faraway pics unless I've dealt with the seller before and had a good transaction.

Too bad someone like Modelhaus or Missing Link doesn't do one.........at least you'd get top notch quality.

R&R resins out of Omaha, Nebraska sells a 1970 Cadillac Hardtop.

Thanks for the help guys. Yeah, it was the picture in front of the mirror.

I'll check out R& R.

Heres a idea go get you a 70 hardtop by johan and cut it up to make your drop top.Simple and easy bro .

I got this from R and R about 4 years ago.

Wasn't bad at all, other than missing the tail lights and steering wheel.

I had to glue the hood shut due to warpage but could have fixed it.

I would buy one again, and may do so soon.

Looks like someone's fixin' to do a Boss Hogg Cadillac.

I saw those resins on Ebay and nearly bought one. Glad I lost the auction, from what I'm reading here.

Does anyone make a 1/25 1970 Cadillac Deville grill and rear bumper? Possibly Modelhaus?

It looks like the grill/front end is the only major difference between the 1968 and 1970 Cadillac Deville besides the seats.

Yeah I bought one of those '70 Cadillac DeVille Convertibles, and it is BAD!!!! Can it be built? Yes, but it will take all of my modeling skill to make this thing work. Fortunately, I have an unbuilt Johan '70 Coupe de Ville to take measurements off of. The only good thing about this thing is that it can be ground down, and The Modelhaus has the chrome bumpers, wheels, and tail lights.

Is the 'Series 62' parts the Modelhaus has listed the correct parts for a Deville?

If anyone is trying to build a Boss Hog 68 Cadillac Convertible and has a HT please do not cut it up...would trade my convertible for it.

without seeing the parts, I would believe that they are the same parts.

Morgan has a beautiful 69 Coupe DeVille, all you need is tires. Highly recommended.

I bought one of the Promolite '69 Coupe de Villes in resin, and it is every bit as nice as my unbuilt Johan 1969 Coupe de Ville, and it has a convertible boot too. Tom Coolidge (Promolite) does some very nice Resin Kits. One of the '69's will be done as a convertible, and the other will get a Halo Vinyl Roof.

My Johan '70 will remain a Coupe de Ville, and will get a Halo vinyl roof too. As a young teenager, I built an annual JoHan 1970, in Black with a Gold Velvet Landau Roof (yes they did those back in the day o real cars) I wish that I could find that old '70, It was not butchered, I would strip it, and re-paint it without that goofy roof.

If I get up the nerve, I may do something with that resin '70. I'm afraid to get it out, as I will start working on it. One of these days.
