What a terrific looking 1976 Cadillac; some of those finer details, such as lenses, headlights, crests and that hood ornament are very well executed. I'm impressed.   

I'm not a fan of wire wheelcovers but they are nicely done, and the whitewall widths are quite correct for 1976 - although I question those "pie-crust-sides."  These tires should look like radials, not bias-ply.   

I'm very glad Stamp engineered posable steering but I'm a bit disappointed with some of the dash "details,"  they look like what they are - decals. 

GREAT PICS Viacheslav; your close-ups are first rate.   I like this gray color best; the lighter gray top & interior make everything pop!     When I saw those 4 rectangular headlights, as a kid, I thought that was so "modern & futuristic!"     

- GREAT replica, congrats!  😎 😎

Thank you, Chris! But I'm not sure if the wheels are posable, got to check.

@chris Well that's a revelation! I have almost all 1/18 Stamp models and never tried to turn the front wheels.

Honestly thought that they are fixed on the axle like on other resin models.

Got this a couple of weeks ago, had some spare time last night to do a photo shoot.

1/18 1976 Cadillac Coupe de Ville, Firethorn Red, Stamp Models, STM1976601, limit unknown, 2025

The box really says Firethorn red, not some Amber/Emberglow, as erroneously announced earlier. Thank you Stamp Models for correcting the color name!
 
Now I have to shoot the green one, hopefully tonight.

Nicely photographed Viacheslav.... the last of the "giant Cadillacs."    Many don't realize that these 1970's Cadillacs (up to 1978's Eldorado ) were, overall, larger and heavier than those produced in the 1950's.   The common perception is opposite that.
