@georgeschire I never bought the pink Caddy, but jumped on the black LE. It just looks more elegant.

@rich-sufficool Yep, love the black one. I'd like to have the tutone green version someday. I have the Icons Elvis Caddy. It is more accurately done than the FM Elvis Caddy.

@geno They are outstanding value for money IMHO.  Same goes for their '59 Pontiacs and '55 and '54 Cadillacs.  The last group pic is the '54 Caddys

Be aware that the earlier GFCC models were nowhere near as good quality as the ones I have shown here.  The earlier ones had generic toy-like wheels and lesser interiors and exterior finish; they were toys basically (see pics below).  Both of these quality levels are prevalent on ebay, so be careful when buying as some sleazy sellers don't mention the difference; hoping to get more bucks for lesser quality models.  A second lesser quality indicator to watch for is that the early boxes of these ones were different and actually call them toys (see below).  I'm waiting patiently for GFCC to upgrade their '55 Studebaker as they did the others above....if they do so it would be worth getting IMHO.

I have the Buick 4-door hardtop which is cool but I couldn't warm up to the Cadillac because of the dark tan interior. Geno, thanks for the pics.

Thanks again guys. Jack, those are nice. I really dig those Pontiac hardtop. That blue one matches the sample Rick Hanmore had at one of the Toledo shows. If I remember correctly, he got $800 for it. It was stunning, but more than I could afford. 😥

@jack-dodds Great review Jack. As has been said previously, these new high detail GFCCs are excellent. I too hope that they will do the 55 Studebaker and hope they have plans to do many other subjects they haven't done before.

@rich-sufficool Rich, the TPC fits the  roll of Land Yacht better than any other car of the fifties IMO. Your pictures really show the details.
