I look at this venerable 1932 Cadillac V16 Dual Cowl Phaeton as Danbury Mint's 'coming of age' model as it sought parity to Franklin Mint releases. There are subtle improvements in textures, parts count and build quality as it approaches "2 foot model" status. It was certainly a good as FM's early Duesenbergs. It offered top up and top down options and really captured the look and stance of the elegant 1:1 automobile. The paint finish wasn't perfect and it doesn't bare up to 'macro scrutiny', but it still looks fine on the shelf.

love 30s Cadillacs. I have this, after a couple of tries to get a mint one, and also the silver version. Fantastic to see what Danbury did with the tooling, giving us the 1932 Fleetwood and Roadster. Thanks Rich

Rich and Tony, the ambassadors of the mints have "sold" thousands of models, I wished they paid you guys royalties.
Rich, is you model from the first or second release? Is there a way to distinguish the 2 releases. I know the tops are different ...

At the time of its release I was thrilled with this model. After some adjustments I was able to get the rear cowl to sit down properly and the rear doors to stay shut. I have always thought the image of the model and proportions as being quite good.
