I saw one new on ebay today

A beautiful model, but I'll save my money for a mainstream Cadillac

Yes, looks very good....still....
GLM's brought back pictures of this top of the line Cadillac as well as the limousine 1962 on their website. GLM's also brought back the pictures menu on their home page, it's nice !.
Anyway, both look better than the first pics, updated details.
I've ordered both models but I've seen a lot of the 1962 on Ebays with horrible built quality issues. Probably the worst GLM's model ever. Chrome adhesives twisted and not straightly applied on upper and lower fins, upside down door handles, front wheels also strangely positioned. All of them were sold from German sellers. It's weird when all of GLM's models are available from China before everywhere else. Anyway. Hope mine will be good but I'll wait to give further appreciations of it.
One thing for sure is that the exhaust is a pure nonsense on that limousine. First, it is opening towards the sky, not towards the ground...and then, it's in the middle of the rear bumper. ???

As they say regarding USA TV -- has GLM "jumped the shark"?
Meaning a particular TV program, or in this case a model manufacturer, has fallen below the level of credibility. An obviously sloppy assembly at this lofty price point will squelch future sales. Hopefully they'll get their assemblers back on track very quickly.
This is sure a disappointment from the same modeler that made that magnificent '76 Lincoln which launched their line a few years ago.
