Receiving this Brochure was indeed an OMG moment!  It wasn't just "another Cadillac", it was a "one of kind Cadillac".  The '59 Caddy, having the cult favorite status it does, has been produced by just about every model car producer out there...So the 1960 Cadillac got an immediate WOW! out of me when I saw it.  And it had an urgency to ordering it, as only 5,000 would be crafted...SO HURRY!  DANBURY MINT nailed all the excellence of the real car and it really is as they say in the Brochure, MUSEUM QUALITY!  

"Limited Edition" 1960 CADILLAC SEVILLE

DM 60 CADILLAC #1
DM 60 CADILLAC #2
DM 60 CADILLAC #3

This model, the color, the perfection to its replication, and being a one and only, will forever remind us of how great the 1:24 Scale Diecast age was!

An after thought question...

How many would prefer the '60 Cadillac over the '59 Cadillac?  I know I would!  It was refined enough to still look like a Cadillac, but didn't have the bulk and excessiveness that the '59 did.  IMO of course.

Refined is the right word George.  While the 1959 is iconic, I much prefer the look of the 1960.  It ushered in my favorite decade of automotive styling.
