GM  introduced the 4 dr htp "flat tops" in 1959 and kept them for 2 model years 1959 and 1960. Models have been done for all of them except for 2 that I cannot account.I have 4 of them. I am quite sure that the 1960 Oldsmobile has not been done but I am unsure about the 1960 Cadillac. Can anyone recall whether a model was made of the 1960 Cadillac flat top ?

GM introduced 5 flat-tops in 1959 (6 if you count Chevrolet's El Camino ).   Motor City did a 1959 Oldsmobile, Road Champs & others made '59 El Caminos, resin kits are available for 1959 Cadillacs (1/43 & 1/24) Spark made the Chevys.

Thanks Chris. Spark also made the 1959 Cadillac in copper color. I guess still no 1960 Cadillac.

Thanks again  Chris. Looking at the picture it appears Conquest got the back window wrong. There appears to be no roof overhang and the back window looks to upright.

Oh yeah, there's alot wrong....  however, if one was inclined to do so, corrections could be made with parts from other mass produced 1/43 '59 flats.    - just say'n  😏
