I like the kinder, gentler tutone. The black original is much more sinister looking. The back seat and truck should have come with Thompson submachine guns. LOL

For use by the Corleone's in Italy at the Genco Olive Oil factory!

I liked this Danbury Cadillac from the get-go and the black one as well. Great pics John! And LOL, I like Rich's reference to the black one being more sinister looking, I agree. I think that is what makes it so appealing, as it looks like something Al Capone would terrorize in. Certainly would have been a hit on TV's "Untouchables".

I've had the black one for ages, great interior, I've seen the black one a few times in docos/newsreels about political figures from the time. Somehow the green looks more "generic". As JB says very very rarely seen these days so very pricey.
