Greenlight 1955 Cadillac
Diecast Direct has a couple of images of the 1/43 Godfather and Elvis Cadillacs at their web site. I hope it is just a preproduction issue as the b pillar looks too narrow and the c pillar looks invisible. The small rear window also looks curved. The Elvis Car has pink paint over the chrome on an otherwise white roof.
The rest of the car looks good.

Very nice ! This one gets added to the long list of cars I want to add.

Is it just me or do the wheels/tires look too small?

At that very good price I will get one or the other even if there are minor inaccuracies

A pretty good effort at a good price. Will someone be issuing this model with upgrades (chrome foil as opposed to painted chrome, mirrors and aerial deleted or improved) at a higher price in the future? I'm referring to partswork cars/Whitebox later issued as Premium X resin models. I'm not sure who Greenlight is affiliated with/owned by.

Greenlight is a US company not affiliated with the other upscale 1/43 makers. They have bought...
molds or entire cars from other ranges though. Mostly much cheaper price point than the Chinese resin we see here!
