I hope those are computer generated images. Otherwise, uhh...no.

Something about those pics makes the models look 'off' just a bit.

I agree looking crude,

I think they are computer-generated. Scheduled to be released in October.

These are real deco samples, not computer images. The 1969 Fleetwood
Brougham will have some modifications, hopefully. The front of the hood should be lowered down a little bit. The car also sits too low, that's why it gives this very boxy impression. Otherwise it should be nice.
The 65 Fleetwood though is more problematic. It shares the same front headlights proportions issues than the 65 Eldorados just released by GLM. According to sources, these front proportions should be also modified from the pictures of the deco samples to the final releases. Let's hope too because like this, it's a deal breaker.
Now these pics source is strange.
Clearly the models have been poorly cut from their background image and apply on this plain gray set that is really not helping.
So better pics will reveal more in time.

JP, I got them straight from GLM this afternoon. They want me to start pre-sale.

Hi Albert. Indeed, pics just arrived on their Facebook. Well, I have to admit that we are not used to get such poor quality images from GLM...
Never we saw pre-prod models cut sand paste on a different plain background picture.
Especially for the 1965s, it's clearly not helping the case of these samples that are really out of proportions. That front end is completely wrong, headlights and bumpers are way too big so the grille looks squeezed in the middle. Sadly but nothing surprising here, it's the same wrong front end than their 1965 Eldorados.
I have not purchased the 65 Eldorado, so if no changes here, I won't buy this one either,
1969 samples look way more accurate so we'll have to wait and see corrections and better pics.
