Message: (PIC) Harvey, the Eldorado is one of my favorite 1960’s “personal luxury” cars.... My father had a ’68, bought new. It replaced his ’66 Toronado, which replaced his Riviera, etc. The ’67 Eldorado is one of NEO’s better models, with a crisp body casting, and a healthy amount of detail, but.... as usual with all NEO models some details are missed or wrong: Back up lights painted all red and should not be. Tail lights are close to correct, but a little crude and not exact. Wheel covers should not be chrome plated. Lack of the pronounced vertical crease in rear window. Many vacant areas on the dash. Even with its various shortcomings, I would still recommend it, and I won’t part with my Pinecrest green model. Photo is of the one I bought.
