1959 Cadillac Ambulance surf wagon

[Nitromethane]

This is one of two AMT 1/25 scale 1959 Cadillac Ambulance kits that was scored a number of months ago at Ollies. Wanted to tint the windows after the interior had been detailed and it seemed a waste to do that. On the next and different version, perhaps, tinted windows will happen. The weathered look on the Caddie is realistic enough per the box art, but I didn't feel confident to try it, even tho it certainly appeals to me. So what resulted is a rather up-scale surf wagon which had been cared for and pampered since the 60s by some dedicated motorhead surfers.

Very cool. You did a great job on it and the outside pics does it justice. AMT did a good job getting this kit together.
