Another Nice GLM Cadillac......

It is a nice model. I agree that it way too low, which is too bad because otherwise it is looks great.

Here's another one from GIM that, I think, looks much better in the stance.

@jcarnutz I got the GIM Coupe De Ville I returned because of paint flaws. The GLM  convertible is far more accurate and less toyish no matter it rides a little bit lower. This is just my opinion.  Also, the GIM are bigger about scale and proportions and they don't seem right aside from the GLM same models.

That type of dual exhaust on Nickie's Caddy is a bit confusing. We see it on several models from a variety of makers, don't we? Back in their day, very few cars on the street had two tailpipes sticking straight out from underneath the bumper, particularly as far as the ones pictured above and on some other models I've seen. Where does this idea come from? Are there vintage American cars in Europe and China with straight pipes poking out from underneath their bumpers? I can't think of any domestic vehicles that came that way from the factory. 

I agree with John.  In the late 1950's, several US cars had modified bumpers to accent their exhaust pipes, including Cadillac.  But earlier the pipe, sometimes pipes, were behind the bumper.  Is my bumper memory pretty good?

@jkuvakas I think that the manufactures copy a subject car of someones and if it has duel pencil exhaust tips coming out under the bumper that's the way they make the model. So many 1:1 cars have been modified that many people don't know what is correct and God forbid they do a little research! Another think that comes up all the time is outside rear view mirrors on the passengers side. Cars back in the sixties and before almost never had these mirrors. Even drivers side mirrors weren't required until the '60's.

@parisi50, I think you're correct on all counts. Someone saw a vintage car with the pipes hanging a foot beyond the bumper and thought they came like that from the factory. Same goes for the dual mirrors. However, I find the dual mirrors easier to digest than the lengthened pipes!!

@d-m-holcombe The 1953 Cadillac Eldorado was the first 50's mass production car with a factory dual exhaust set-up and it was going through the bumper.
