Here is a model that you already know, the Cadillac Sedan DeVille 1962 from GLM Models.
I made some improvements to it, such as adding rear side windows and reducing the width of the axles...😊

Excellent improvements to a fine Cadillac replica ! These are especially good images of this model and one that's in a really nice color here, too.

People who know me.... KNOW I'm chiming in! Yes indeed, PERFECT improvements... GLM's release had wheels tracks AND whitewalls that are both TOO WIDE for 1962. By narrowing BOTH this otherwise beautiful 1962 Cadillac Sedan de Ville NOW looks period-correct!
You've corrected TWO of my most frequently voiced complaints regarding replicas in ALL SCALES: 1) Wheel tracks are too wide. 2) Incorrect whitewall size. I too have "fixed" many models in this way.
The rear door glass is just a bonus! 😏
Fantastic work, thanks for sharing; these kinds of improvements make my day....just WHY these two mistakes are so often made "across the board" continues to be a mystery to me.
