Instructions are right here. When you go to the Pepakura gallery, you do better if you hit the link to the homepage of the designer. Then you will find out all you need to know. Here is the link to the instructions if you wish to have another go at it. 3rd one's the charm!

Pink?...although its my favorite colour, this is NOT a Pink car.

'59 or any of the big fin Caddys would be candidates for Pink paint.

Mary Kay Cosmetics has (for years) given pink cars to top sellers in their business.
but that didn't start until 1970.
The first pink Cadillac Coupe de Ville was bought by Mary Kay herself in 1968.

This is a Goombah's car.
And would be Dark Blue, Black or bright White for the flashy mobster or Miami boss.

...and the white sidewalls are wrong.
Wrong decade completely.
And in my opinion, wrong to put them as a custom add-on.
Redlines or bluelines would be a better choice.

pepakura viewer 3 I used. then went to print and just put it to the pdfill find that bit of software dead handy for doing that to save it as a pdf file and then print from that.

Dave the white walls was more because the ink was running out and skipped the black a lot.

sorry, didn't mean to sound like I was criticizing your build or your printer output!
just giving my opinion on what you might do if you print and build another.

My friend owns a Sedan deVille (which is the four door version of this car),
and I think his is a '66.
Its dark blue.
If you needed detail photos, just let me know.
(although they are not too hard to find on the net)

Awesome model. I Dl'd this to recolor and modify slightly, to build for my mother. She used to drive a 67 Sedan Seville, very similar.

Dave I know you were giving information and thats great and not been picky about the wheels. I think Neptune there may want a hand do I have no idea of American cars at all so could not tell him of the differences are suggest changes he would need to get it to look like his mums car.

I just discovered this thread. Sorry, have been away for far too long, partly due to the forum being inaccessible from Germany. Anyway, I built the same model some weeks ago and it was an absolute delight to do it. I am in the lucky situation to use a top notch laser printer at my office and to do some private prints every now and then for a small fare.
The last picture shows the car in comparison to a Messerschmitt "Kabinenroller" micro car of the 1950-ies, the one before it together with a Citroen DS, just to illustrate the sheer size of it.
Right now I am building the Impala Lowrider from the same site. A bit more tricky, but still buildable.

Cheers, Martin
