GLM's upcoming '67 Cadillac looks pretty good, except, of course, for those tires. Why? 😮 😲 They're about as wrong as wrong can get..... Factory tires wore two different stripes; I hope these GLM pics are prototype samples. "Fingers crossed." 🤨 🤨
Yes, yes, I know some won't care, but....... 🙄 🙄 🙄

I also think the top-up version looks a bit "wrong" in profile, however I'm told these are not the finished product.

I have a turquoise up top on order and likewise hope the tires get changed as they are definitely wrong. I'm SOL if they come through like this as I couldn't do a tire swap.

It's not just the whitewalls that are off, but the size of the tires and the fender line at the front, which does not dip down on the real thing. The 1:1 front fenders protrude more and add a dynamic look to the car, whereas these models do not have that look. Not to mention the fender lamps are also skewed. I owned two of these land yachts (convertible and coupé) and from my perspective this model needs more than just a little reworking.

Does the Stamp model also seem to sit too low? Maybe it's the pics but they look like a lowrider.

@100ford2003 ...actually, he used those pics just for reference. In a previous post, he noted that his '67 CDV was white w/black vinyl top, and his convertible was also white - here's is a pic.

@whodeytink Yes, their model is riding too close to the ground, and putting the proper size tires on it will help lift it.

@bob-jackman I'm going to assume they fix these issues but I wish I hadn't pre-ordered it to be sure
