Looks excellent except for the mirrors. I wish they'd moved them forward some.

Excellent pics. Model looks terrific, especially in this color. I have three BOS resins and only wish they could have been diecast with features.

I have BoS 1975 Imperial 1972 Cadillac
1977 Lincoln Mark
1959 Imperial
1967 Eldorado
1937 Mercedes and I think they're all great. Can't wait for the 2016 releases.

I'm quite please with it but keep in mind this is a budget model. Site chrome moldings are painted, windows could be warped on some copies, the interior is very basic (no flock, seatbelts, domelight, pedals, etc). The underside is a flat black plastic with exaust pipes. Wheels have metal rods for axles and may no turn on some models.
Imagine a Jada model but with quality casting and painting and you'll see what I mean. Personally I'm OK with it.
Yeah, and it's quite heavy, too (much heavier than their Mark V). The overall length is 32,5 cm, too long for my shelves, so I had to put it sideways.
P.S. Just noticed the headlight door dent while looking at the photos. Probably it's just my copy.

Neat model and great pics. You may want to add a bit of blackwash on the lower grills. That would set it off nicely.
