This replica is actually in Signature Models 1/32 range and I recently came across it here since many of my cars are still in storage after moving a few blocks to a newer apartment. The images are just some quick phone-camera snapshots and I got this many years ago while waiting at the pharmacy for some prescription medicine, lol ! It was perhaps $16.95, so quite inexpensive for a nice model that has a display base and clear plastic cover.

Mine has some misaligned front suicide doors but it has steerable front wheels and an opening hood with a V-16 engine. A couple of colors were made and a closed sedan was made, too. If I get some courage, I could likely adjust the front doors for a better fit, but in the meantime it is a nice representation of a giant luxury automobile from the Depression era on the USA.

The Cadillacs from the 1930's were big and impressive automobiles and make for terrific replicas in all scales !

Both beautiful! Mike; well photographed. Love the color combo's of each model, but probably prefer the scale of 1/24th.

I too love 1930s Cadillacs. Something majestic about them. Italeri made this 1933 Town Car 1/24 kit which I made up to pair with the NEO. Came up OK. The last pic is the color I based mine on.
