I think I like it in red, white, or sky blue- but I'll probably buy it if it's yellow.

Here's how it appeared in the '54 Cadillac brochure...
Larger, click once after opening.
The whole image wouldn't fit on my scanner, but it sure is a beauty in yellow!

Here is rumors about a new car...
And straight away complaints about it...
Why not be happy for once that we get all theese fantastic models. YES we all wish for certain cars, but why not be happy that they still make new models with the economy beeing the way it is.
I would have wanted a set of 59 Imperials, but Im pretty sure the conneticut boys manages to put a smile on my face with this one also,
that is if the information is correct.

John...DM could possibly already have some cars in the works that appeared in D4C Wish Lists.
You know it takes 2-3 years, sometimes more, from selecting a car to having the first production run. Just be glad we are getting a new tool in todays economy.

George's 1949 Olds
George, yours is coming with a defibrillator and DM doesn't have it in stock yet. I am getting a replacement for mine because the fuel door is a different color.

John...Yes I did. NO MORE 59'S!
And actually, a 54, 55, or 56 would be the only Caddy's I'd be intersted in. Thanks for keeping me on my toes.

Good one Dennis. You know, DM will probably send me the one you return.

John...I've stated in the past, the very points you bring up.
I honestly think that the mints just put out the cars that they like, and they don't give a hoot what we the collectors want.
If they paid any attention to this Forum and the "Wish Lists", the 54 Caddy would not be a car they are doing.
Oh well...

Dennis, You might as well return it for credit as you will likely get the replacement in the same condition. This paint thingy has been discussed and beat to death many times. When the parts are individually painted and then assembled, there will be a difference in the metallic component that most likely cannot be corrected. It is due to the light reflection of the metallic paint and how the parts were oriented when sprayed.
I personally have several metallic paint jobs that exibit this phenom and I have never seen it on solid (non-metallic) paint jobs.
I wish you luck with your replacement but don't hold your breath.... You could always display the model with the gas door to the back ....
