...and speaking of 1959 Cadillacs:

....and yes, I reversed the ambulance's whitewalls and crafted an accident victim.   There was a smash up.  😯 🙄

Well, the brown one might be a factory color, but I have that model and the color is just perfect for the '59 Cadillac style.

@jcarnutz There's no doubt that in 1959, like today, if you're willing to pay for it, Cadillac will deliver your new car in any color you desire.  However, being the purest (or fanatic ) that am, I've never tolerated anything that wasn't "standard"  factory issue.   

Right or wrong/good or bad.... I've always been that way.

I have NO idea where or how Autoart  came up with that color; I've never seen another 1959 Cadillac painted that way, nor any other 1950's GM car - a few have been close - but nothing exact. 

- I sure wish AA  would re-issue more colors or even a Coupe de Ville.   Stamp's 1/18 resins are gorgeous.....   but they're sealed.  😩 😬 😩 😬 

@chris 

I agree to an extent; I will have to say that I own a few models that are not color accurate. I bought them because I liked the color. Sometimes I don't always investigate the color charts, that was what happened with this '59. The color sold me, and I had to have it. I wish I'd bought the red version, and I always meant to. I won't now. I came very close to getting one of the Stamp '59s, but I just don't collect this scale anymore. One purchase will send me down that slippery slope and then, oh boy. My space is stretched to its limit for now, 1:43 is all I go for these days.

@chris - $120 for both cars???? Dude!!!!!  What a SCORE!!!

@chris 

I'll bet Pete Rovero could have fixed that issue.
