I redone it as a replica of Marilyn Monroes' Caddy that George Barris Custom made for her. The car was originally Persian Sand, hence the interior color. It was painted a custom mixed gold to match one of her favorite dresses.😊
The real car.
The model.

yep Chet and Kevin have said it all, brilliant job Geno. Recently watched another doco on Marilyn. What a tragedy to lose her like that. Show covered a lot of her 4 day Korea tour that I was unaware of. Just a snippet here:

Dayum Geoff, that was a real treat to see, Thanks! MM sure was a beauty. Even though she was wearing fatigues she sure had some moves going up and down those steps. 😎
