Thanks Renato. The 57 Fleetwood is a must have for me.

Thanks for the post. The Gold limo has some strange bump out on the rear fender. Is this a prototype? The 57 looks dry nice.

If you're referring to the shape circled . . .
it is a standard styling detail for Cadillacs of that time
but I think they may have exaggerated it somewhat. Or at least the gold colour makes it look too prominent. It should be rather subtler.
If you look carefully it is also there on the metallic grey version but is less noticeable from that angle.
Apologies if you are talking about some other "strange bump" I haven't spotted!

No, that's an accurate replication of the actual quarter panel used on Cadillacs in 1971-1973. For some reason, the reflecting light/shadows make that "bump out" appear more pronounced that it actually is. The silver limo appears more "normal."

Nice looking models, but I would not want to parallel park one of these. Thanks for another nice video.

Another fine look at these beautiful Cadillac giants ! It would be a great addition to any collection.

I noticed that too !
It just looks wrong to me

The “bump” also looked a little strange to me. I decided to look at pictures of 1973 Cadillacs on the internet. It is there, but it’s visibility seems to vary by angle of photograph and color.

Four of these two beauties are on their way to me as well as the 1970 Lincoln. Can't wait to get my hands and camera on these.

Both models are awesome. I don't see anything to complain and "all the curves" are accurate. There is no doubt here.
I think the most important about this discussion is to appreciate GLM/Stamp provides the moderator with prototypes to improve the upcoming models before production. I see a lot of improvements in the 1957 60S that have been added.
As for me, Stamp is now the top notch in the affordable 1/43 scale with Matrix.
