In early 2022, Stamp Models issued their version of a 1975 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Convertible. It was made available in three colors, Tuxedo Black, Burnt Orange and Light Blue. Both the black and orange versions were offered in open and closed versions, the blue was only offered in an open version. Since the blue is my favorite of the three, and with the top up-looks awesome. I was disappointed that that version was not offered. With that, I decided to make my own. A very minor alteration, but important to me. So, with another blue model purchased as well as a black convertible (I had a project planned for the wheels & tires from this one as well) I made the quick change. 

All things considered, it came out OK, the windshield is angled a bit too high which results in the top being off some. I might try to adjust that as well, but for now, I'm good with it. The Burnt Orange version has the same problem.

The last of their kind; the end of an era.... I really miss full-size convertibles.

An excellent Chevrolet model and fine modification of if, too. I like the color a lot, also.

My Dad had 1975 Chevrolet Caprice 350 coupe and also a 1974 454 4-barrel dual exhaust Caprice Estate station wagon
