This is another old-time favorite from my collection. My database lists this model's release as 1992, it joined my collection in 1996. I remember this purchase was made at the FM store in the mall. DM's later Eldorado release may have more bells and whistles, but this model speaks to me in a way that the DM's doesn't. I love the color, and on the shelf, it just looks right and really commands attention every time I view my models.

John, great shots of a model I have along with the original Red.
I've had mine for about 30 years too. Love it. Gotta be one of the all time over the top car designs. Thanks John
Great photos John, and believe me, it's a favorite of my collection as well. It's also special for me because it was the 4th diecast model I'd purchased back when I first found these little cars way back in the early 1990's. This Cadillac along with DM's '57 Chevy blue convertible and '49 Mercury black coupe brought back the memories of the iconic cars they were. It has stood the test of time on my shelf and when I look at it, I relive the excitement I felt when I opened the box it came in.
