Very nice and with lots of opening features. Now if only the power windows worked but I guess you'll have them working sometime.

@gdh Forgive me, occasionally I assume too much..... 🙄 🙄 🙄
This 1/18 1959 Cadillac Series 75 Fleetwood formal sedan - Limousine was produced by Precision Miniatures about 16 years ago. It complimented their existing line of 1959 Cadillac professional cars: The Coupe de Fleur (flower car ), Landua Hearse, and Limo (open window ) hearse.
I'm lucky enough to have all four; they're quite a site when line up in procession, assuming a wide-angle lens can capture all of them. 😮 😮 😮

Hey Chris, your pics of the Cadillac flower car got me wondering where did that Lincoln style roof come from ? Did the conversion company actually make their own or do they go to Ford and buy a Lincoln top and customize it ?

@gdh ...oh no, that's the work of Roger Zimmermann - my hero - a true master craftsman! I simply posted that pic as joke response to Bob's comment.

"Where did that Lincoln style roof come from? Did S&S actually make their own, or do they buy a Lincoln top and customize it?"
That's an excellent question but I'm afraid I don't know the answer. I suspect, however, that S&S employed any method(s) available to decrease costs, thereby increasing profits. Afterall, making money was the #1 goal. It would sure be cheaper to hack up a Lincoln vs. fabricating unique sheet metal. 😉 😉

"Chris, LOL, is that your work or Roger’s?"
GREAT memory Steve! Yes indeed, I just posted a "confession." 😉 😉 😊
