Another pretty nice Danbury Mint from the Antediluvian date of 1987 was this jaunty 1932 Cadillac V16 Dual Cowl Sport Phaeton in classic Hunter Green. By this time DM had finally found a vendor that could give them a pretty decent product. The paint still wasn't quite perfect with a touch of orange peel and the dog leg hinges were a bit intrusive, but the dash was 3-D, the radiator and mascot were beautifully rendered.. The top is nicely textures although if you noticed, I did give it a darker brown wash to accentuate the details. Engine detailing is basic but well done, and all in all, it's still a pretty impressive model.

An oldie but goodie. Nice pictures and writeup Rich.

The antediluvian (alternatively pre-diluvian or pre-flood) period is the time period chronicled in the Bible between the fall of man and the Genesis flood narrative in biblical cosmology.
Wow! The 1:1s must have been impressive!
