IMO, other than the janky  headlights & oversized mirrors (having two in '62 would've been rare ) this 1/64 Cadillac looks very good. 

Apparently not yet available in the sates, therefore with S/H, costs could exceed $90        .....but wow, pretty cool, right!  Just look at all that fine detail.     (I'm wondering if this is a bit larger than 1/64 AND I have NO idea how that piano ties in? )  😎 😎 

Produced by HEC (596 )   ... they make several higher-end 1/64 vehicles and commemorative sets (like my 1/64 Presidential Motorcade - "The Beast" )

Hard to believe it's 1/64th! Other than the small ticks you mention, it looks GREAT!

I'm told by friends in Europe that it is the best 1:64 ever made.

@lloyd-mecca Well, that's quite a compliment.    Any explanation for that piano?

The model represents the one used in 

The Green Book film, so if you are familiar with the movie...you get the piano.

...and BTW, my '62 had dual side mirrors.

Oh yeah.......  I know that film. Thanks!  😀     Yes, dual mirrors were possible certainly, but rare in '62.    I remember my dad wanted dual mirrors on his new '67 SDV and the dealership asked, "Why?"     ... but of course he got them.  😎
