A fine review of this superb Cadillac model, John. It is certainly a scale gem and this is an excellent look at some of the well-done parts and features of this 1/18th Coupe DeVille. Oh boy, as you say, this one will sell out quick !

Hey John, welcome to the big leagues! (LoL)
I don't collect 1/18 resin but no doubt this will be a successful release; it looks great, but I have a question/comment. @ 5:47 -5:50 I noticed the chrome taillight frame (specifically the red reflector) is not parallel to the green edge of that "plastic body filler piece."
It seems unlikely that Stamp would reproduce that chrome frame with such an incorrect "slope outward."
Q: Any chance that bumper assemble (taillight frame) is a bit loose and is just simply sticking out too far at the bottom?
