You cannot beat the styling of a 59/60 Caddy - FULL STOP!

A 59 convertible is the next car on my actual bucket list.

Cheers for the awesome pics.

Totally agree. That would have been a nightmare to get straight and to have the finish it does. Unbelievable job and a great car.

Here are a few more. Sorry if they are reposts:

Not a street car, sure. But Navara bush trucks, eat your damn heart out. 2WD, 20 inches of wheel travel and a hand-built fuel-injected 365ci Chev (not an LS, a 350 Chev with a 3/8 stroker kit).

There are possibilities. If it was 1/18 scale part of the interior would be out of focus but the whole thing is just clear as daylight. Iam afraid to say I think its real

There is something funny about the shots... the small brickwork in the background?? the HUGE Carroll Shelby signature on the bonnet?? the concrete flooring??

Either way if its a scale model it's VERY detailed... Very impressive!

Yeah thats the one. The pics I posted up do make it look like a model but it has some fine detail work on it. Love that car. Wish I could own it.

the style of photography on the mustang is called tilt shift, just not as extreme as you'd normally see it.

Is that what it's called?? I've seen those adverts on TV where you would swear a street scene taking from a reasonably high angle was a HO scale model train set or something...it just looks like a bunch of models. I'd always wondered what it was called.
