John, I always appreciate and enjoy your “My Take” posts and this latest on the ‘57 Cadillac shows a beautiful  car, beautiful model. I still don’t know how to respond using “react” or even respond with a “Like.” I don’t see anything in the lower right to post a “like.”  Perhaps tomorrow my 8-year old grandson in Potomac MD can show me! In any case, John, I look forward to your “My Take” posts.

Oh boy, a fine video look at this beautiful and impressive car and 1/43 model of it, John ! Stamp has done an excellent job with this one and each color looks great. That green hue on this Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special looks impressively deep and lustrous.

Another great video. It's not just the lustrous model that makes John's videos so engaging, but the sheer professionalism: Lighting, mood music and talk-though.

David, on the bottom right of John's video click on  the word "YouTube."  Doing so, will take you directly to YouTube where you can then click on  the "like" thumbs up ICON. Once you're a registered YouTube member, which I assume you are not, you'll be able to also then post comment(s) if you're so inclined.

Super great car, 1957 Cadillacs were Harley Earl's final manifestations of his "longer, lower"  design theme.  This model looks great. I not huge fane of skirts and have always appreciated that '57 & '58 Cadillacs (sans the '58 Fleetwood) did not have them.

I know this is a prototype, but that hood looks awfully wavy, not smooth at all and the tires just look too tiny.  ALL the chrome & trim, on the other hand, look fantastic!

@chris, thanks. The "wavy hood" is a trick of the light reflecting off the ceiling in my studio. .

ODE TO JK

I just can't decide....is it green or is it blue

Torn between two colors; feeling like a foooool

But by loving them both at least pink's out of view"
