I absolutely agree with you, when I saw those Greenlight Chevy‘s my head immediately started to think about the possibilities for conversions they offer
Like yours, you definitely nailed it on this CPD cruiser, perfectly done

Thanks!!

Fantastic work!! These cars are really pretty good, I wish we could see a 90's version caprice someday too.

Thanks for sharing

Thanks Steven! While I wasn't a huge fan of the real 90s "bathtub" Caprices, I'll take them in scale.

The 1/43rd 80's square body Caprices from Greenlight are great models to work with! Here is my re-do of the 1980 Ground Hog Day movie model with the lightbar from the Home Alone 2 movie model. I took it apart, stripped it down, and repainted it with Duplicolor automotive paint. I removed the clear red from the lightbar by soaking it in 95% Alcohol (thanks Jeff Webster!) and repainted the lenses blue using Tamiya clear paint. The decals are from InQuarters and I "downgraded" it to an Impala by adding decals to the grille and upper body, also from InQuarters. Greenlight really nailed these cars!
