Thanks for the very nice review, John.

I would just like to add that this model is also available in Ballet Blue. Both colors are available in top up and top down versions.

Thanks, Tom. I did include that information in the description of the video on my YouTube channel. Of course, the pictures help. It's a very well-done model. I also relisted your contact information there.

I have the blue top up and it is a knock out.

Love it - Love it - Love it!

Another great video showcasing a very fine model. The color is perfect for all the style and class the '58 Imperial has to offer. The open version is amazing as is the closed with black top and even the light blue is perfect. I think these lighter colors highlight the design of the model much better than the red & black standard versions GLM issued.

Thank-you John for a superb review. I really enjoy them.

Thanks for this review John.  I have the black with top down version coming so I was glad to hear how impressed you were with the interior.

I have two of the limited run Cadillac models that Tom has offered.  He selects what he feels are the color choices available that year which best highlight the subject and typify the era, then gets GLM to reproduce that color precisely in a run of 100 or less. My spectacular charcoal over 'Dawn Grey' [a subtle lilac] '56 Sedan de Ville is one of 50. I wanted to include a picture but neither my camera nor phone could capture that color. 

I sure hope there are more are on the way.
