As I can not access the archives, can members confirm how may 1960 Cadillac models Danbury made before they stopped, I thought it was only one, a two door hard top ?

Danbury Mint offered two 1960 Cadillacs in Eldorado trim, a Champagne Seville coupe and a Heather Biarritz convertible.  I seem to recall seeing a post here a few years back which showed an unissued prototype of a Pompeian Red coupe. I cannot remember if it was a Seville, Coupe de Ville or a Series 62.  Like an idiot, Al Dorado passed on both of the issued models.

The new owners of this website have access to the wonderful information and reviews of every Franklin and Danbury car ever produced 

I am one of at least five people who have asked when or if it will be replaced All were told to be patient.

I spent my whole career in the tech industry and many using it request I got web information.

it is going on 60 days since the plug was pulled and there is NO updates 

🤷‍♂️  I don’t mind daily posts but without this information the collection market will be crippled

There.  I feel better

here are the 1960 Cadillac models that DM offered. I continue to wish for more. The refined style of the 1960 is so very appealing. 

1960 Cadillac Eldo Biarritz 02

Eldorado Biarritz

1960 Cadillac Eldo Seville 03

Eldorado Seville

and the proposed Coupe deVille

1960 Cadillac Cpe de Ville 1
1960 Cadillac Cpe de Ville 2

which I'd just about killed for...

@jcarnutz You're quite right John, the 1960 Eldorado is sublimely refined - especially with self-tone upholstery, and yet, whilst they appear toned-down, I read somewhere that the fins are fractionally taller than the '59's!

@jcarnutz I remember the Seville, which I tried to buy from Danbury US but they had sold out, it was available from Danbury UK at the time but they would not sell and ship to Australia for some unknown reason, I just noticed a listing for the Biarritz on Ebay, I was not aware of that particular model and therefore wanted to check the reviews, thank you for your help, I will take a closer look at the Ebay listing..  Cheers Greg
