New to the fleet April and May...

@alfredgee 

Just saw your post. Overcome by events today at work, will answer your question tomorrow when I get in.

@alfredgee

The '72 Fleetwood by Matrix is a keeper in Balmoral Green with a green vinyl top. The car is heavier than the STM '71 C de V., so I took it apart to look for a weight glued in there somewhere but if they did that, I can't find it! The window surrounds (p/e) looked somewhat oversize in the photo supplied by the seller, but in front of me, it is all good. The stand-up hood ornament and the wreath & crest symbol are on the hood as they should be. My only issue is the trunk mounted wreath & crest which is off center. My models are displayed front 3/4 view, so that off-center issue will not affect me.

Here is a photo of the 1:1...

I know the top looks black, but in the book is is clearly green.

@lloyd-mecca Thank you very much for the feedback and the 1:1 photo. Is that from the new CLC book Cadillac of the 70's?

I kind of like the beige Matrix offered, but the black really pops with the red leather. Some hard choices to make.

Thanks!

Alfred
