Bingo! Thanks for tweaking the details,and suffering all of us fussbudget collectors.

Every marque has its enthusiasts, and our passion can be as loud as any football fan's. Thanks for patiently listening to your customers regarding not only details, but choice of subjects too.

The photo-etching and angle of that grill is outstanding! That chrome would get me home!

Sergio...I know every collector has his/her favorite car...mine would be a 1950 Buick special fastback 2 door.
what are my chances for a Goldvarg edition?

I love the grill on these!

Thanks for the pics !. If I may, this new version is of course better than the first prototype. Proportions are really impressive, especially with that scale and the details of the cornering lights and grilles are amazing !.

But, the car still needs some work in my opinion.

I don't know if this is the final version, but although the interior is gorgeous, I hope to see a specific treatment and colour for the carpeting.
Maybe the rear tail lights could receive a lens treatment too, to set them apart from the bumper chrome effect.
Hubcaps needs a little more detailing too, with maybe a black wash between the branches of the turbine section, to help create that distinctive mirror reflection inside the hubcaps.

White Walls could also be detached from the hubcaps. No need to make them start from the hubcap.

But honestly, I really don't like the tires. And it's a deal breaker for me, unfortunately. They look like they belong to a 4X4 truck. Makes me think about the red 1956 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz released by Ixo-Premium X. Not good, need smoother edges...

I hope these details could be added before final productions, especially to see better tires.

Dear Jean Philippe,

I'm so sorry that this model does not meet your expectations. I will try to improve those mentioned details, but I can't guarantee. Best regards.

Pic. Dear Sergio, thank you for answering us. My only real concern is the tires.

Again, I honestly think that this car is fantastic and that you did an amazing job.

But I am sorry to say it but these tires are ruining it.
I can live with the previous details undone, but not that.

No matter the width of the white walls you will decide for the final release, please just don't put these totaly inaccurate kind of "heavy duty 4x4 strong edges" tires on such a car, and that will be just perfect !

Thank you very much !

Best regards.

It seems that Ford Country wagon fit a right tyres...

Like Jean Philippe say in a below post.I think is very easy change those of the Cadillac and replace it whit the Ford, my opinion only because Cadillac by Sergio is awesome.

Tires with whitewall width like Sergio's own Falcon and '61 Buick Special would look right.

But then I'm no expert on what the '64s were actually supplied with.

Sergio, thank you, very very much. Your professionalism and your listening to collectors honour you.

I'll be extremely happy to buy this gorgeous Cadillac, that will be my very first Goldvarg models in my collection, and hopefully not the last.

Best regards.
