I received three Cadillacs within the past week or so:

GLM '56 Fleetwood 75 8-passenger Sedan. Since it has jump seats (molded/cast here in the "up" or "open" position), it isn't a Limousine. In a very nice dark blue metallic. The ride height is a bit too high but I like the width of the white walls. They're more correct looking than other GLM '56 body styles that I've only seen photos of. The rear deck looks too short - but that might be a visual trick because of the ride height. As a buff of old movies, I relate to my models in that way. This one reminds me of the car used by the Paul Douglas character in the movie: "The Solid Gold Cadillac". I like this a lot.

56a

 

56b

 

56c

 

56d

GLM '58 Fleetwood 75 8-passenger Sedan. Also with jump seats. This time in the "forward" or "closed" position. I like the un-obvious color. Tho I would have preferred the soft gray (maybe silver) of the car used in the movie: "North By Northwest". The eBay vendor warned me that a previous customer found unacceptable "window warp" and offered me an out just in case. It's there. But no worse than other GLM models that I own. I can't find fault with this model. Love it!

58a

 

58b

 

58c

Ah, the fabulous new Matrix '37 V16 Fleetwood 90 Series Coupe. Just look at this! It makes me smile.

37a

 

37b

 

37c

 

37d

Thanks for looking!

I have the Matrix '37 Cadillac with the side mount wheels in dark green on order. Comes with skirts. I assume that these were options available in '37.

All are most impressive, but the '37 V16 coupe is a show-stopper!   Thanks for posting it. Starry Eyes

All are fantastic John, specially like the 58 in pink. The first one reminds me the film 'Driving Miss Daisy'.

They are all exceptional models. I have the '56 & '58, I didn't realize the '37 was out yet. I need that one ASAP.

The thickness of the roof and the height of the front window make me cry...
