Wow! There are lots of 1:18 scale Caddys available I never knew existed. I'm particularly taken by the '55 and '58 "formal" sedans. And I'm sorry, but that '61 looks wrong without whitewalls.

Absolutely 101% agree with you Marty. What in the world were they thinking ?

@100ford2003 Well, KK-Scale was flooded with complaints, and they responded. Although their whitewalls are (NOW ) too wide for 1961, they can easily be corrected for those who wish to do so.... but we HAVE WHITEWALLS!! 😀 😀 😉 😉
Oh, that green "formal sedan" is a 1956 Series 75 Fleetwood limousine by GLM.
P.S. I swear, a few months back, I'd seen a RESIN 1/18 1970 Cadillac convertible, but in putting this post together I couldn't locate one. I guess I was looking at a 1/43 model.. ?? 🙄 🙄 🤔 🤔

1956? Of course, it is! I might have to surrender my "Car Guy" membership card for that faux pas!

Thanks for posting these Chris. I would be interested in the 61 only if I could get it with the white walls. Any suggestions where that might Be?

Marty, I'm thinking with your vast knowledge of cars, you needn't worry about losing your status as a car guy.

For $130 I couldn't live with their imperfections. Sorry, but at that price point I get a little bit picky. I do applaud his skill at applying the w/w's as they look great.

Steve, Bob.... I apologize! Totally my fault, I've been looking at KK-Scale 1/18 1961 Cadillacs w/whitewalls for about 2 weeks....
I JUST ASSUMED these were FACTORY cars. Until Steve noted otherwise, I did not realize that THIS SELLER is actually applying water-slide-whitewall-decals. 😬 😬 😬
I APOLOGIZE!

Chris, no harm so no foul 👍 I'm referring to the model cars "body" issues. Perhaps these are rejects that are being resold.

HA! I knew I wasn't crazy! (well, at least this time.. ) THERE REALLY IS A 1/18 1970 Cadillac convertible available. It's produced by CULT.
