Talk about a full time job. The fins alone require overtime.

What an exceptional pic. This model doesn't get nearly the fanfare it deserves. It is really cool.💯😊

@geoff-jowett In 1959 I could have combed my hair, in 2026 it seems to have disappeared.

@galen55  Is this a DM or FM product?  I see them in several colors on eBay.de quite often but I was unsure if they are a safe bet (door gaps).

@gdh DM. Its a great model, readily available, U.S ebay shortcomings notwithstanding.

@gdh It is a lovely model, I recently purchased the pink 59 version for a billboard diorama I am working on, I believe the red version is DM's first iteration (@tony ?)

Correct. Both FM and DM issued red 59 Cadillacs. Galen's is DM.

“Simply Red” is also a really good UK rock band known for “Holding Back the Years”.
