Digging thru Louie’s vault # 3. 1968 Cadillac Deville convertible by JoHan

Today we dig deep into the vault to pull out a vintage 1968 Cadillac convertible by JoHan. We do a full build and review of this awesome vintage kit.

Your talent never ceases to truly amaze me. Thank You for such a wonderful, calming video of an amazing '68 Cadillac build.

That is a beautiful ‘68 Cadillac! Well done!

Beautiful build! I'd guess this issue is from late '70s/early '80s while the Dukes of Hazzard was current, and "Boss Man" was as close as they could get to "Boss Hogg" without infringing trademarks. MPC had the official Dukes license, and put out just about every main car from the show except the Caddy. This is why we have the '78 Dodge Monaco as a 4-door sedan when the promo was a coupe. It's surprising MPC didn't approach Johan to do a deal for the official one, since it was well known Johan had done Cadillac promos for 20 years at that point. Or maybe they did and the deal fell through.

There you go again. Making it all look so easy and inspiring me to make more progress on my own project! Love your styrene supports on the front A pillars. I’m struggling with a 1:48 Gee Bee cockpit that is requiring some fab and you’ve inspired a solution I didn’t think of until watching your vid. Keep it up Louie and let me know the next time you are in LA so I can introduce you to our local model building club.

[@TheAutisticModeler]

Thank you for the invite. Might be going to a show this coming year in LA, not too far out from Phoenix. I’ll let you know. Happy Modeling

As an owner of a '68 Deville convertible, you did a great job and I love the results!

[@TheAutisticModeler]

Thank you!! That’s one of my dream cars. Just like I built it!!

[@jamesjohnson6924]

Newly introduced in 1968 was the 472 cubic inch V8 engine by Cadillac. This may be what engine you have in the kit. Great vids sir!

[@sgnt9337]

Great paintwork!

Thanks Wes!! Happy Modeling

[@valleyshaverjohn2821]

Another great build. Can’t go wrong with a black Cadillac. Red interior is a great choice for contrast.

Very nice work. You did an excellent job building a classic kit. Thanks for sharing.

[@beastscooter]

Smooth repair work on such a small vent window. Brillant! I love the way you show all your work. You really make it look easy and we know it isn't. Very cool and well done. Cool background music, too!

[@alancyr3100]

Awesome job Louie!👍

[@TJHahn624]

Great job Louie 👍

[@chezsnailez]

Even though it's a ragtop, it looks-a lichen it's got a five body trunk...

[@Mr74145]

Only thing missing is the bull horns and you have boss Hogg's Cadillac .

[@JMdfcv]

👍🏻

[@wendellharlow6811]

Your engine in that Caddy should be a 472 c.i. V-8.

[@TheAutisticModeler]

Thank you, I think I said 372 or something else. Thank you for watching

[@TJhooker07753]

I just got one of these & going to make a boss hogg car. Too bad the directions don't tell you the colors to make each part.

[@richardarios5706]

what was the liquid glue you were using

[@johnnybaughman7593]

I've been looking for a circle light like what you have. May I ask where you got it?.. I can't find where to buy one. Thank you

[@TheAutisticModeler]

I bought it at Harbor Freight. Thank you for watching

[@roderickjones1283]

Louie, please tell me where can I get this kit!!! I e been trying for awhile. Thank you

[@TheAutisticModeler]

I’ve had this in my vault for many many years. eBay or Model car shows. Is the only place you might find it. They sell for about 150-225 online. Thank you for Watching
