Great Pics, Lloyd
In your opinion, which of those models is the best representation of the 1:1? Is the Ele as nice in person as it looks in your photo?

John, if you compare these to reference photos, they are all right on, except that the CCC is a little rough. The ELE is really a good looking model, inside and out. Some say it is somewhat narrow, however it looks fine to me when placed next to other models.

Beautiful Eldorado collection Lloyd, very impressive!

Thank you, Christoph. You also have posted some fantastic Cadillacs.

Lloyd, nice to see some of your impressive collection. The TFC also at Khan Model cars on eBay, in kit form. Tell me, the TFC is clearly different from the other 1971-73 Eldorados. Are the AMR and VF using the same castings?

Randall, that was my thought.

Pics: Yes, the VF-Eldorado used the AMR casting. Many VF-models based one other castings, the 47 Cadillac Convertible was in his first life a Provence Moulage and the different 59 hearses and ambulances used Vitesse parts. And some 76 Fleetwoods are based on a Elegance castings.

Pics; Thx, I'd love to find any of them.
I have the AMR, built by Gregg Gunn. It's a very well done model:

Thanks Lloyd and Christoph. The only VF I have is the '47 Cadillac convertible which is a white metal model, unlike the Provence Moulage. It is quite well done.
