Sunstar did a very nice job with these, not perfect...but very nice. I've had these forever, the convertible was originally a "top-up" version, but I fabricated a boot and pirated the top (for another project....still not completed 🙄 😔 🙄)
A great car and 1/18 model ! I like the look of the 1959 Oldsmobile and I also have these two plus the blue and white hardtop coupe. A terrific Platinum Edition release.
And that convertible top will find a home on a Cadillac, Pontiac or Chevy ? Jus askin.....

Good question.
Initially (years ago), I was going to "adjust it" to fit my Yat Ming 1959 Buick Electra convertible. Then I thought, why not my Autoart 1959 Cadillac. The problem is that these Cadillacs can now fetch well north of $500.00. Do I really want to "mess with it" even if it turns out beautifully?
I'll probably end up reverting back to the Buick. For $500.00 I can get an entire case of Yat Mings! 😀 😀 😀

It sure looks nice on that Caddy !
And dayum, I forgot about that Buick.
I've gotta get back to working on my Sunstar Lincolns.
@jack-dodds I agree completely Jack...and this was about the end of an era for "tu-tones." As you know, by 1961, GM had more-or-less stopped offering multi-colored bodies. Personally, I love this Old's mint green & soft white paint. That "grass-colored-green" interior is a different story. 🙄 🙄 😒 😒
