PICs - Daily Dose of Diecast...Bonus

I am off to the Concours d'Elegance of America at the Inn at St. John's in Plymouth, Michigan today.
Here's one to celebrate the show...

I agree with Billy. Those are outstanding pics with the way the Sun plays off the body lines and highlights them. Nice touch to add the MKII there also!

For real?

I know I'm naive, but was that a real car? Beautiful, and as always, great photos.

Saoutchik bodied two of these Cadillacs....

This is Chassis: 486237307 built for New York furrier Louis Ritter and in my opinion, the classiest of the two with this paint scheme.

Yep, I saw this car in the Blackhawk museum ...

... the other design was done by Minichamps in 1/18 and 1/43. Unfortunately Minichamps decided to save few bucks and painted the chrome on the fenders silver, so their model lacks the appeal of the MCUSA's extremely well done model.
