Part 2
1968 - 1979

 

 

tjo68cpf.jpg (6512 bytes)    tjo68cpr.jpg (7088 bytes)
From 1967 through 1970,  Jo-Han offered three basic Cadillac styles in 1:25 scale: the De Ville coupe
and convertible, and the Eldorado front-wheel-drive coupe; above is the De Ville coupe for 1968 [#1668]

 

 

 

tjo68cvf.jpg (7070 bytes)    tjo68cvr.jpg (6058 bytes)
Here is the 1968  De Ville   convertible by Jo-Han

 

 

 

tjo68elf.jpg (7147 bytes)    tjo68elr.jpg (7321 bytes)
The Eldorado front-wheel-drive coupe by Jo-Han for 1968 [#2468]
differs from the 1967 model by the circular, rear fender marker light

 

 

 

Tjo69tcf.jpg (6951 bytes)    Tjo69tcr.jpg (8392 bytes)
This conversion of mine from Jo-Han's 1968 Eldorado coupe model is intended to depict
Bill Mitchell's custom Towne Car [for greater authenticity, it should have 1969 wheel covers]

 

 

 

tjo69cpf.jpg (7099 bytes)    tjo69cpr.jpg (7215 bytes)
The year 1969 was represented again by two De Ville and one Eldorado model;
above is the De Ville coupe for 1969 [#1269]

 

 

 

tjo69cvf.jpg (6275 bytes)    tjo69cvr.jpg (7129 bytes)
Here we see  Jo-Han's 1969 De Ville convertible

 

 

 

tjo69elf.jpg (7525 bytes)    tjo69elr.jpg (7375 bytes)
Compared with the 1967 and 1968 editions, the 1969
Eldorado coupe has a fine textured egg-crate grille [Jo-Han #1869]

 

 

 

tjo70cpf.jpg (7955 bytes)    tjo70cpr.jpg (7738 bytes)
Jo-Han issued three models again in 1970: the De Ville coupe and convertible,
and the Eldorado coupe; this is the De Ville coupe

 

 

 

tjo70cvf.jpg (6455 bytes)    tjo70cvr.jpg (7116 bytes)
I had some camera problems, as you can see; the tail of this Jo-Han 1:25 scale 1970 De Ville convertible [above]
and that of the 1970  Eldorado coupe [below] got accidentally cut off; I shall try to find  better images;

the difference in color is due to natural light (left) and artificial lighting (right)

  

 

 

tjo70elf.jpg (7863 bytes)    tjo70elr.jpg (6081 bytes)
Jo-Han's front-wheel-drive Eldorado coupe for 1970 carried Ref. #1270
Once again, the image on  the right got accidentally shortened

 

 

 

tjo71cpf.jpg (7829 bytes)    tjo71cpr.jpg (7701 bytes)
The 1971 Cadillacs were represented in 1:25th scale by Jo-Han's front-wheel-drive
Eldorado coupe [#C114:2]; no De Ville models were made again until 1977

 

 

 

tjo71cvf.jpg (7922 bytes)    tjo71cvr.jpg (7959 bytes)
This 1971 Eldorado convertible was re-modeled by me from Jo-Han's 1971 Eldorado coupe

 

 

 

tjo72cpf.jpg (6767 bytes)    tjo72cpr.jpg (6567 bytes)
This is Jo-Han's 1:25 scale Eldorado coupe for 1972

 

 

 

tjo72cvf.jpg (6909 bytes)    tjo72cvr.jpg (7807 bytes)
Once again, I re-modeled this 1972 Eldorado convertible from  Jo-Han's  coupe for that year

 

 

 

tjo73cpf.jpg (8018 bytes)    tjo73cpr.jpg (7865 bytes)
One more Eldorado coupe from Jo-Han in the Gold Cup series, this one from 1973 [#GC2300]

 

 

 

tjo73cvf.jpg (7185 bytes)    tjo73cvr.jpg (6709 bytes)
This is my own conversion of Jo-Han's 1:25 scale Eldorado coupe, to depict the convertible model for 1973

 

 

 

tjo74cpf.jpg (6997 bytes)    tjo74cpr.jpg (8498 bytes)
Another Jo-Han's 1:25 scale Eldorado coupe; this one for 1974...
The sun-roof had become optionally available on the Eldorado models in 1972

 

 

 

tjo74cvf.jpg (7509 bytes)    tjo74cvr.jpg (7760 bytes)
...and yet another Eldorado convertible [1974 edition], remodeled from the Jo-Han coupe

 

 

 

tjo75cpf.jpg (7311 bytes)    tjo75cpr.jpg (7013 bytes)
The penultimate front-wheel-drive Eldorado model from Jo-Han was this 1975 coupe (again with optional sun roof)

 

 

 

tjo75cvf.jpg (6057 bytes)    tjo75cvr.jpg (6469 bytes)
I converted the preceding coupe to create the Eldorado convertible for 1975

 

 

 

tjo76cpf.jpg (6800 bytes)    tjo76cpr.jpg (8277 bytes)
This is the last of the front-wheel-drive Eldorado models by Jo-Han; it is the 1976 model [#36]
for greater authenticity, the wheel cover centers might do with being painted black

 

 

 

tjo76cvf.jpg (6972 bytes)    tjo76cvr.jpg (5892 bytes)
I believe Jo-Han actually made a convertible Eldorado model for 1976 [#32 ???];
This one, however, is my own conversion of that year's coupe model
Again, for greater authenticity, the wheel cover centers might do with being painted black

[ JCS501 1976 Eldorado (stock or low-rider version) ]

  

 

 

Tjo77cpf.jpg (6486 bytes)    Tjo77cpr.jpg (6898 bytes)
For 1977, Jo-Jan re-introduced the De Ville coupe model in 1:25 scale

 

 

 

Tjo77cvf.jpg (6540 bytes)    Tjo77cvr.jpg (6541 bytes)
The "last" Cadillac convertible was built in 1976 [...that is until it re-appeared in 1984!]
A number of  independent coach builders sought immediately to perpetuate the tradition of the Cadillac convertible;
this is a conversion I did from Jo-Han's 1977 De Ville coupe; it depicts the bespoke Selina model

 

 

 

  [ 1978 Jo-Han De Ville coupe image missing ]

 

 

 

tjo79cpf.jpg (7745 bytes)    tjo79cpr.jpg (7746 bytes)
The last Jo-Han promotional replica in 1:25 scale was this 1979 Cadillac De Ville coupe;
What a pity! I'm sure they would have done wonders for the bustle-back Seville of 1980-1985
as well as for the sporty Allanté roadsters of the nineties

 

 

 

tjo79ttf.jpg (7896 bytes)     tjo79ttr.jpg (7003 bytes)
My final conversion of a Jo-Han model was this imaginary T-Top De Ville coupe

 

 

 

    
Another amateur conversion with realisic Phaeton roof padding
