Bond La Salle Pictures
Just grabbed pics of the Bond La Salle which arrived today. Model is imposing and brilliant considering it is budget priced. Based is Marked "Cadillac La Salle" and IXO At the end I have included to a site with pic of the car in the movie.
FRONT - there is even La Salle printed on the grill in gold but it is so fine you can scarcely see it
Here is front again from a side angle. Front wheels ride a bit high in the arches. MAybe a job for later.
Rear and side
Full side view - Pretty imposing
photo no longer available
Front and Side - again looks super.

Thanks for the pics. A couple of questions...
What is the black plastic piece on the right side of the hood? I couldn't figure that out when mine arrived. Also, has anyone noticed the mesh in the hood side vents is wrong? The model has diamond shaped texture, and the real car has nice, flowing horizontal lines. Still it is a welcome addition.

No idea I am afraid
The small black bit is actually an accurate copy of the real thing as shown in the film. The pictures from the film I have seen are not detailed enough to check the side grilles
