That's a beautiful model John. I also think it's one of the best styled Cadillacs ever. Every line, crease and fold is perfect to my eyes. They just don't style them like this anymore.

Great style, setting and pics. Color would not have been my first choice.

I'd agree; normally. And especially on such a large car. But, to my eye, it seems to show all the styling lines of the vehicle.

Great pics John!  Great looking model!  And I agree that it is a nicely styled car for 1968.  Personally, not a fan of the color and I'll never understand why Automodello has the rider side windows up on this one and all their models.  Just doesn't make sense to me.  But again, NICE MODEL.

I always preferred the '68 parking light style. The '67 just had body colored filler panels as the fender caps and I thought they looked "unfinished". The '68's were integrated much better.  I'm pretty sure that was the design teams plan all along. JMO.
