DYNASTY M.C.C.

[SidewayzS15]

Damn I really like that caddy man!!! You even got dynasty on the deck lid lol. Not usually a fan of graphics on cars unless they are pretty intense but that flow very well with the wheel combo you chose and the silver and gold is balanced very nicely. Great build!

Plans for the truck were just to swap teh clips as the hatch fitment sucks on this and is probably going to be shaved. Was building it as a tow pig for my silverado!

They were basicly simplified plastic models that dealerships used to sell in the gift shops. I think they would give you one that was similar to your car when you bought one.

Promos were started in the '50s I think, and were pretty common through to the early '80s. The last plastic promos I can remember seeing were the Oldsmobile Auroras, and Intrigues.

Here's a pic of an Aurora I picked up on Ebay,



Geo Storm,



Chevy Monza,



'82 El Camino,




They are basically plastic models that are pre-assembled using a "melting" technique instead of glue. No opening hoods, and one piece chassis with metal axles.

thats it right there, its a body, full frame, interior tub, and glass, and thats it,

[SidewayzS15]

oooo gotcha thanks for clearing that up for me man!! I thought it was a style to build a model or something. Sounds cool though, be fun to add soem crazy detail to these!!!

[SidewayzS15]

Heres the pics of the caprice roadster, build topic is up now and has all the info in there. Check it out guys!!!

[dropped@birth]

[SidewayzS15]

Damn son looks really fucking clean!!! Really like the gold spokes on there, they fit perfecct. Tan interior set it off real nice too, gave it that lux look

[dropped@birth]

im not a big fan of gold spokes, with chrome trim on the car, but i had no chrome wheels, and it didnt turn out to bad tho, thanks homie.

[kykustoms]
