Has anyone dealt with or heard of Karson Diecast in Ohio ? They have a lengthy clearance list and offer free shipping within US. I saw numerous farm equipment models too.

I bought a couple models from them many years ago, I personally didn't have any issues that I recall.😊

I saw an ad for pre-order IXO 1/43 ‘68 Cadillac Hearse but after checking around i found it at Mint Models at a better price. Thanks for your replies.

Steve, with free shipping? Many times, when I see items with a lower price it usually requires additional shipping costs which increases the overall price...just asking.I saw an ad for pre-order IXO 1/43 ‘68 Cadillac Hearse but after checking around i found it at Mint Models at a better price. Thanks for your replies.

@100ford2003 I saw that one too - I'm glad IXO printed a prototype disclaimer, because I see 1967 & '68 Cadillac design themes (and few oddities too ). Hopefully, they iron out all the bugs before production. 😉

I didn’t notice until now what you were talking about. I notice that the side marker lights are missing for a ‘68. Overall, if the $ is less than $30 I find that pretty reasonable.

@100ford2003 Yep... and more than that is wrong, notably that stubby front end and corering lights - regardless the year they're trying to replicate - '67 or '68. 🙄 😯
Here's a few '67's & '68's. You'll notice their "1968 Cadillac" actually looks more like a "1967 Cadillac." 😉 😉

So i’m guessing your 1st pic is a ‘68 and the rest a ‘67 ? I see the rear side-marker but not sure where the front goes unless it’s combined with cornering light. I better start googling before making assumptions 🤣

@100ford2003 No, no..... two are 1968's and two are '67's.
1967 Cadillacs had larger grill openings, different wheelcovers (same as '66 ) exposed wipers, round door mirrors, no rear side (red ) lights and no thick (going down ) rear bumbers.
