not really good pictures for now but at least this Stamp 1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Custom is certainly one of the best. The color combo is outstanding.

The car model is incredible! And, yes, Nickies, the paint combo is what sets it apart!
Your new camera takes nice, sharp images. Your main light source (from left) is great but shadows occur front & right. Does the camera have a 'fill-flash'?

Yes, it's a terrific model. Very crisp, accurate casting. Paintwork (including the body "stripes") detailing and badging are outstanding.
Just to complete the picture here are some images of my own specimen.
I wonder how it would have looked if Cadillac had also applied the contrasting colour to the boot/trunk?
I was thinking about getting a second one and giving it the Riviera boat-tail rear window treatment, but I thought better of it.

LOVE the striping and delicate detailing! Not sure I can properly envision the trunk in the darker color. Might be too much.

After much trial and error, I can recommend these items. The lights are fantastic; fully dimmable, good CRI, and variable color temperature. The seamless backdrops are vinyl and are very durable. All of the rigging is done with Smallrig components. And I use a piece of glossy white acrylic as a base. Using a piece of clear glass tends to make the car look like it's floating.

That's an intriguing thought about continuing the accent color to the rear of the car. Please share pics if you do that.

@perrone1 This is just the Iphone 16 Pro Max. The pictures I posted in the last 2 years were from an Iphone 14 Pro. I will have to adjust my limited skills with this one.

Nice work, Nickies. I'm just getting used to my 16 Pro Max. As you know, there's a bit of a learning curve. But it's an amazing camera for being on a phone. One thing you can try is using a desk lamp for some additional light. But be careful. That's how I got started, with a desk lamp, and now I have an entire studio!

Those dadgum desk lamps! LOL! That phone has a flash and can be placed on automatic as well. Wortha few shots to see if it works:Nice work, Nickies. I'm just getting used to my 16 Pro Max.

Just a quick follow-up to this post (regarding the model, not the photographic aspect). I was inclined to agree that adding the contrasting colour to the boot/trunk might be too much, but on an idle Saturday morning I thought I'd do the experiment anyway.
Obviously the result is a matter of taste, but if the Eldo had originally appeared in this colour scheme I don't think anyone would have complained it looked excessive?

@graeme-ogg, I like it, particularly that you recolored only the top of the trunk lid. Very nice.
