Great model from GLM of a great year for Cadillac.  I have the stunning charcoal over "Dawn Grey" a very pale lilac specified by Thomas Dirnberger and LE of 50.  I think he has some other colors still available but this one sold out in nanoseconds.  As a sad Luddite this is the only image I could successfully download from my phone, but just cant capture that color

It is a very difficult color to capture, here's the best of what I've done so far...

@jcarnutz At least we 'captured' that model in that color!  I display it prominently in the house, and even non-collectors oooo and ahhh over it.

BTW I never take these fragile little guys off of their 'plinths' -- waay too risky for me.

I probably heard about this when it was issued, but I sure don't recall it. Very sharp. It looks good w/the white roof.
