This is an early GLM model as far as I know before the transition to Stamp Cadillac Series. I particularly like it because the chrome foil is complete and very sharp and the interior detailing is stunning. There is no shortcut to silver paint for trim here.

Those top wrinkles are spot on!   Pretty nice detail for 1/43, pretty nice.  😎 😎

I too agree the top wrinkles look great but the top proportions  look awful.

...yeah, well, you're right Bob; I didn't want to go down that road.

This top suffers the same fate many other ill-fitting scale convertible tops do - that is, it sits too high in the rear.   

The bottom of that top  really needs to be "shaved"  to provide a gentle rear slope.   IMO, it's that gentle slope (SEE PIC ) that gives almost all convertibles that element of charm, grace and, well....  coolness.  😎 😎
