New casting? Quick!! Take it apart! Posts: 2,594 Group: Members Member #575 Joined: January 6, 2008	Steve, shouldn't it be called a "New casting of an old Caddy?" Refreshing issue for JL....I'll get me a couple of this one. Edited by ivantt, Feb 27 2010, 11:38 AM.
	I used to be a genius, but I found out it's a lot less work and more fun to be a redneck.

It's been around for about ten years now (ex-Racing Champions casting).

	Yummy!

I was unable to find the RC casting.
	Alright, so I open my cars up and take the tags off Beanie Babies then give the beanies to my daughters to play with. After all, they are only toys

The chrome on the RC version enhances the headlight and grill area, and the chrome engine and bumpers are cool too. But I like the JL versions better, I guess because they are more colorful. The only detail change I would make to the JL version is to detail out the little lights on the top of the front fenders.

It's been around for about ten years now (ex-Racing Champions casting). Then it's another one I MISSED! Why does the packaging say, "New Casting?" New for JL, I suppose. Okay, than in that case, this should be titled "Newly acquired and newly reissued old casting of a an old Caddy."

Station Wagon Posts: 750 Group: Members Member #22 Joined: July 21, 2006	As someone pointed out on some board, it dosen't say "New Casting". Rather, it says New! (note the exclamation mark after the word New) and then the word casting below it. It's kind of sleezy, but in those terms, it is a 'new' release. And secondly, it is a 'casting'. Just not a 'New Casting'. I think JL suckered a lot of us, me included, into buying some of their latest releases when we saw those words 'New! casting'.

My personal favorite is how they've been issuing some old Playing Mantis era JL cars into this line with that same "NEW!" when those castings have been available for years. What they should say is "NEW PLASTIC BASE" or "NEWLY AVAILABLE IN FOREVER 64" which would be more accurate. The last wouldn't be bad, in all honesty. More truthful for the old time collectors like all of us, and yet proves there's something new for the newest JL collectors too.

I just saw the W/L of this on the bay with a white body and blue wires on the rims and normal color tires...probably one of the nicer W/Ls in my opinion.
