I got this model from Europe a few weeks ago. I had the choice of ordering the plain fenders without skirts or the fender side mounts version which come in dark green. The plain one is black and looks overall more balanced and representative of this massive Cadillac of the end of the 30's.
The model is accurate as I can refer to the Book Of Fleetwood I have with drawings and renderings of this particular body style. The proportions are spot on and the massive wheelbase well rendered. The only things I can complain is the front axle is a tidbit too wide but it can easily be fixed. The interior is also accurate in every details even the yellowish color of the gauges on the dashboard is amazing.
Sorry for the not so good picture taken in a hurry. I will post soon some more Cadillacs and Buicks resin models I got in the last few weeks.
I am starting back collecting 1/43 scale but only and exclusively resin Buicks and Cadillacs

Here is the same model with side mounts.

I like the model both ways but opted for the sidemounts and skirts.
