I questioned Jaap van Dijk about his upcoming 1976 Cadillac.
Specifically I asked him if the Neo models were made in the same factory as the Ixo PremiumX. He said that they have their own factory which makes models up to a high standard.

I have both models now
The moulds are different of the 1978 Neo and 1979 PremiumX (IXO). Length is the same, front and rear fenders are wider of the Neo. Body of the Premium is wider and so is the grill. Wheels and tires are more narrow of the Premium.
The Premium is slightly higher and looks bigger. Neo has no detailed base. Both models look nice, but the Neo is my favorite.

Jacques, Are you getting your models directly from Jaap?

Jaap cannot pass his dealers.
I bought mine from my dealer Peter Mulder of Modelcars in Rotterdam. His Neo models came in this week. I suppose, that dealers in the Netherlands have them earlier, because China will deliver them to Neomodels in Elst-Holland (Netherlands) after arrival models will go to dealers. Dealers in Holland and Europe are closer of course.

Rotterdam
I was in Rotterdam in Spring of 1990 for one day. That day of the week was the day Peter's store was closed. Rats. I have yet to get back there.
