(PICS) Just received BOS-MODEL's '41 Cadillac Fleetwood 75 Touring Sedan
A recent resin introduction from American Excellence, this '41 Cadillac is, in my opinion, elegant, beautifully proportioned and finished and, I think, very reasonably priced. The pics were taken within a day of receiving the model.

This one sure looks elegant ! Great subject matter and it seems really well done.

Once again I agree with Mike. Without doing any 1:1 comparisons...this looks like their best effort!

Wow, I guess i'll have to make some more room.

I love mine and all the "chrome" is plated and not painted on.
like earlier models BoS has done.

Chris, when you say their best effort, do you mean of their US cars or overall ?

Yes Paul. Sorry, I should've clarified that point. Again, this is based on first impressions only.
Soon, we'll get cross-referenced measurement assessments from scale modelers who have access to such data and then we'll find out just how well BOS really did. But (BUT!) this American model does NOT seem to have any "quirky" trim or odd scale proportions suffered by so many other 1/18 American BOS releases.

I recently received this model also.
I once owned the 1:1 car and the model is an excellent copy.
