OK, another modern Cadillac...  Who cares? 

I do.  I've been trying to acquire this particular model since December 2021.  Three prior attempts have ALL FAILED (for a variety of reasons).  Finally, one "arrived at my door."  It's a "full function" (all opens) diecast with a rotating driveshaft, working suspension and opening filler door (nice touch!)  

As time permits, I'll post additional pics ASAP.

I can't wait to see some closeups. It's nice to see something besides resin curbsides. That said, Cadillac designs over the last 20 years have just left me flat. They seem to be well engineered automobiles, but their looks are just not for me.

I liked the XLR and kept that HW model of it when selling my collection. I wasn't thrilled that the wheels didn't steer but no other company made one so what the heck.

Chris, 

I just saw pics of a 18th scale Escala from livecarmodel.com

It looks like a beautiful model and has opening features.

Hey Steve,

Yes, I saw the 1/18 Escala last year when it was released; it IS A NICE model except for one problem (..and the reason I didn't buy it).  Everything opens but the hood. That was a deal-breaker for me. 😫 😣 😫
