1918 Cadillac Type 57 creating. The ready model (Pic)
At last the model is assembled and ready to go to the customer!
A few statistics:
148 investigated photos
3-4 hours of daily night work
3 computer development programs (Adobe Illustrator, Rhinoceros, Magics)
3 production processes (resin molding, jewelry casting, photo etching)
72 parts for each copy
13.7 million lost nerve cells.
But it's all gone for the first model. Next, 24 other copies of this small batch, which look like the first, but will feature another color. Hopefully, they will be even better thanks to the experience of the assembling and additional adjustments. But this model will forever remain the only one of its kind.

What are those square rings on the sides at the back?

I believe those are to secure the top irons when the top is retracted.

It is the lock for the framework of the folding roof when it is in a fold position.
