I was searching for a TSME Cadillac Fleetwood Aero-Dynamic Coupe for many years and I finally found one. The historic significance of this particular body style was a trend setter for the fastback and torpedo popularity to come in the following years.

Congratulations Richard on your acquisition of a model I do not have. I do have a 1/18 scale and it is superb.

A beautiful automobile and I am delighted to have two of these in 1/18 scale.

That 1/87 version from them must look great !  It is such a superb-looking and imposing automobile that any scale replica of it would be a standout.
