Same platform as the "Al Capone Caddy" and the "D4C Club Caddy"...correct?

Great pics! Thanks for sharing.

You won't regret getting one Phil...it's beautiful.

In fact when I received it I sold my D4C version as this one stands out on the shelf more than the D4C version IMHO.

It is a fantastic model. I have all three of them and this one really stands out. The color combination really makes it pop. They don't come up often on eBay any more, but still do occasionally. Unfortunately they are a little more pricey than the $100 I paid for my NIB example.

Isn't it something John?? I opted OUT when it was released then I saw one at ....

Bob Kaempf's house one day when I was there and I was WOWED. I then but out a 1:24th scale APB for one right here! Some very nice gentleman responded and sold it to me for what I think was his COST or maybe just slightly higher!! This was at a time when these were selling for $225-275 on auction! It was much appreciated, wasn't bought to resell or profit by and still remains in my collection and will till I drop! It's one of those models that you must see live to appreciate. Much like the FM LE Blue/gold rimmed Auburn boat tail. In pictures it looks ODD and not right, but when in hand it pops and looks GREAT IMO.

I loved the Caddy from the get go. To me the color combo was striking and I could not pass it up.
