Pic: You know that feeling, when something looks wrong on an modelcar
in your display case? After every look on it, you are thinking about it, whats are the fault(s)? And as we can read on the forum, many members get this feeling, when they look on their 66 Fleetwood from PremiumX.
I like cars from the sixties, I like they for his clean elegance, for the perfect proportions from their bodys. Sure, they are maybe less interesting as cars from the fifthies, and an Cadillac, Chrysler or Lincoln had more
similarities as the same models from the fifthies.
Anyway, my wish was, thats the PremiumX Fleetwood satisfied me more. And after I chance the side windows in a first step, it looks better, but not good enough.
So, in a next step, I changed the windshield also. It was definitely not high enough and gave the car a wrong impression. So, I take the windshiled frame away, and make a new one from chrom foil. The frame must be very tiny and small, so I must do it several times until it was in the right size. And the chromeside trim under the doors are too thick also. I make it a little bit more narrow (just 1 mm) and now I like this model very much. Maybe I buy a
second one, to chance it to an Sedan deVille or Coupe deVille...?
Here the real Fleetwood Sixty Special Brougham:
Here the Cadillac as it came out from the box:
And from time to time, I will say sorry about the torture from my bad english.
Happy collecting
Christoph
