Ahh.. 1959. I was 7 years old and totally obsessed with cars by then.

Have both! I like the convertible better than the hardtop.

Actually, the FM pictured is an Eldorado Seville. They pair well together.

As a longtime Cadillac fanatic, the '59 was my least favorite. I finally came around to appreciating this automotive icon of the 1950s. Now I love it and have five models, all from DM.

1) this Seminole Red 62 conv.
2) the Laurel Pink 62 conv.
3) the Vegas Blue Coupe de Ville
4) the Persian Sand Eldo Biarritz
5) the Ebony Eldo Seville

Lol. I didn't know the seats were real leather. My '53 DM 1:16 Eldo has genuine leather seats.

In the DM 59 in red they are. Not sure about the other versions. Your 1:16 Cadillac has....

Real leather only difference is they come from 1:16 Cows lololol

How can you tell? I'm not a Caddy expert by any means!
