Jada's 1940 Cadillac Series 75 limo is your basic "2 foot" model with the exterior being passable and the interior is horrible. It comes with two figures: the gunsel figure is excellent and the seated "Godfather" is rather poor. Their series of movie cars are more notable for the figures rather than the car. The gunsel, godfather and the "Scarface" Al Pacino starred in many of Bill Bakaleinikoff's pictorial adventures.

It is a delightful automobile from Jada and I am happy to also have this 1/18 from them along with the well-done figures. Cadillacs are always impressive and this one really catches the eye, even without any movie tie-in.

I agree Rich..... I bought a "junker"  '38 Cadillac, hoping to do some swapping to help this '40 along but haven't gotten around to it.  I consider this "toy"  better rendered than their two other 1/18 Cadillacs..... from Scarface & Reservoir Dogs.

PS-1

I wonder why JADA changed their tooling of the Godfather figure. At first there was a "generic Godfather"  sitting in the back, they then switched to an actual Brando-Godfather standing figure. Perhaps they couldn't initially secure the rights/licensing for his likeness? 

 

PS-2

All I remember seeing of the yellow '65 Cadillac in Reservoir Dogs is the trunk.  Was the entire car ever shown?

@rich-sufficool ..... thanks, but that's not the car JADA released. I don't remember seeing a 1965 Cadillac in the movie (other than the trunk ).  Your pics are of a 1966 Cadillac. 

I sold off my JADA '65 (too toyish ) but kept the figure.
