I opted for the Shell Pink version.

I'm guessing the interior is representing Saddle Beige. I thought this was an odd choice, but ACL doesn't show white or black as options, and certainly blue or turquoise wouldn't work (though I know one person who might like green 😀 ).

Lovely. I have the black one in my wishlist. This pink is far nicer, but the price is a little out of my wallet.

I have the blue top up. A wonderful model from GLM. Last week I also received the 62 Cadillac Sedan De Ville in gold metallic also from GLM. Years ago I would never have dreamed the number of models we would see in 1/43 scale. I can't imagine the amount of money I would have if it wasn't going across the planet for these little cars. I love it, love it, love it.

@bob-jackman It really is a Golden Age for 1:43, especially for Cadillac lovers and 60s collectors!

@bob-jackman  Bob; I'm patiently waiting for the 62 Cadillac Coupe de Ville to get done by this company; it's my fave Caddy of that decade.

Jack so am I and a convertible should they decide to make it. The 62 Coupe De Ville is my favorite primarily because my dad had one in beige. Years ago Conquest did the Coupe De Ville, Sedan De Ville and convertible all of which I have. The Conquest models are IMO the finest white metal models in my collection as the detail on them is outstanding. If you can find them they are worth a look. By the way, if the Countryside show happens in October and you can make it, how many miles are you from Chicago? I am 800 miles each way.

Awesome model. As with the’60 previously issue, I couldn’t decide which I liked best. So I got several in different colors and top configurations.

@bob-jackman  Bob; its around 2100 miles each way.  Flying the friendly skies is much more bearable.

@bob-jackman  Bob; I just missed out getting a maize yellow 62 Caddy convertible from Buz but waited too long.  My bad!  I have a feeling Sergio may do it in time as it would be a no-brainer sellout in both HT and Conv. IMO.

Jack, 2100 miles each way is more than a stroll in the park. As to the 62 Caddie convertible by Conquest that you missed from Buz, the Maize yellow is the color of mine with a white interior.

Collectors:

Yes, the interior is Sandlewood in color.

Chrysler Corp in 1958 offered five leather interiors in the Imperial Crown: red, light blue, medium green, sandalwood, and silver. Shell pink was only available with a sandalwood interior. No white, no black! When we made a decision to offer a pink car, we had no choice on interior color. Our Ballet Blue model was only available with the blue interior. We spend countless hours researching to make sure that the colors we offer in our GLM models are authentic!
