PICs - From My Collection - '58 Cadillac #1
OK, this model is far from perfect. The wheelbase seems to be too short and that gives the model a stubby look. Other than that, GLM did a nice job with the model overall-great detail. Now it looks like a '58 Cadillac, which I am OK with, but I wish they had developed the prototype a bit better. From what I have seen of the '57 versions, the same wheelbase issue exists.
Too bad, but heck, this model was free using my Legacy points so I can't complain too much.

I like it. As I live in Europe and not so familiar with the US cars and don't know how they used to be.
But I Always liked the shape and almost female streamline of the US cars, After 1955 US cars were hardly imported in Europe, due to the revival of the car industry in Europe.
The first European cars looked like small copies of the US cars.
