Pics. New GLM's 1965 Cadillac Eldorado.
GLM's going further again with the sixties, with the Eldorado 65 this time.
These first prototypes look very well done, love both colours.

Hi John, I don't like the exhaust pipes either. I think the interior of the blue one is also a very dark marine Blue I think, but not that easy to tell.
I'll ask GLM to correct the exhaust pipes if possible. The rear bumpers need to be dressed with small grilles too, on each sides of the licence plate.
Overall, very beautiful !

Good suggestions John and Jean Phillippe.

No visible exhaust pipes would be better than these soup cans.
Cadillac made the effort to blend the tail pipe under the bumper. So in this scale, no suggestion of a pipe would be acceptable to me. And highly preferred over the straight out pipes.
I also question whether Cadillacs had dual exhaust when new.

Exhaust Extensions
I'm sorry that manufacturers don't want to listen to valid information, regarding the models they are striving to be correct in every way. Over one month ago, I sent Sergio
photos of the back bumper of a 1964 Cadillac, showing that the exhaust is hidden behind the bumper and not visible. It is disappointing when this happens, because it can be verified so very easily. I will be anxious to see if my information was used. Don't get me wrong, Sergio builds some great models, and this is just one small, but important point to my view.

Great 'Samoan Bronze' and 'Tahoe Blue'!; Windshield should have softer lines, but still a "Go"
