Of all of the 1958 Cadillac models issued by GM/Stamp, the Series 62 Coupe de Ville is my favorite. Stamp has certainly presented a nice selection of them to choose from. I don't recall how many colors were offered, but I have 5 of them.

Here's one of the 3 colors issued in 2022, it is in Maybelline Pink Metallic & White.

1958 Cadillac S62 Cpe deV P5
1958 Cadillac S62 Cpe deV P6
1958 Cadillac S62 Cpe deV P7

in July 2025, Stamp issued a 4th example of this excellent model - it was in Meridian Taupe

Nicely done by Stamp and nicely photographed John.   

I know many bash 1959 models as being "over-exaggerated or too cartoonish,"  but I've never thought so.   Although I love the look of '58 Cadillacs, to me, THESE are "too busy, cluttered, not too elegant and a bit over the top."    

1959 Cadillac design language was pretty "clean"  when compared to any 1958.    🤓 🤓 🤓

Beautiful 1958 Cadillacs ! I am delighted to have '58 Caddys in 1/64 and 1/18. My Matchbox version is very close to the purple Cadillac here.

I'll always have a soft-spot  for 1958 Cadillacs; my very first car ride (coming home from the hospital ) was in my Dad's '58 SDV.

@perrone1 HA!   No, that would be my Dad.   

I've owned a handful, including one now but it's the only car my father ever drove.   Only once did he stray; he bought a new '67 Oldsmobile 98 sedan, but it was totaled less than 48 hours later.     He went right back to Cadillacs - and purchased a '67 SDV to replace it.

Sounds like my sister and late brother-in-law. Leo loved Cadillacs. In the 65+ years they were married, that is all they ever owned. My sister, now 95, has quit driving but gave her last beloved Cadillac to her great granddaughter who uses it to take my sister out wherever she needs to go!

An excellent array of Cadillacs.  The Maybelline Pink Metallic & White would be my favorite color combo.

"Rough night out?"

HA!  Yeah, I suppose it does appear that I'm a bit hungover - but I suspect I was really trying to escape.   According to my mother, I didn't much like being in strollers.    I'd like to climb out and try to push the stroller.      🙄 🙄 🙄
