From My Collection... A Look Back

John Merritt · 2026-03-13T22:28:41Z

When Great Lighting Models issued their 1962 Cadillac Sedan de Ville models. I was thrilled. I had learned of the '62 Cadillac models previously issued by Conquest, but so far, they were seldom seen on auction, and when one appeared it was too pricey for me at the time. I spoke to Buz @ Route 66 Models, but he wasn't planning any new releases of the '62 Cadillac either. GLM announced their models in 2020, and after some ordeal, I finally received the pair in early 2021- remember Covid. A third color was issue in mid-2021, that arrived as well - with a much easier experience. 1962 Cadillac Sedan de Ville 4dr Hardtop - a Limited Edition #012 of 100, GLM-119303 in Maise Later in 2021, a convertible was issued, this time it had moved to the Stamp Models range. A couple of colors were offered (with 2 other colors released later) Here's one of the 1st issued. 1962 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible - Limited Edition #032 of 149, STM-63201 in Neptune Blue Now as it turned out, I came across one of those coveted white metal models by Conquest. This model started out my 2022 collecting year with elegance and style. It happens to be a model of one of the more formal looking cars offered in the 1962 Cadillac lineup. 1962 Cadillac Sedan de Ville 6-Window Hardtop - CON 69B in Ebony Black The 1962 Cadillac took a back burner in my collecting interests as nothing new was offered although I continued to follow eBay and other sites for those Conquest models. While a few popped up from time to time, they were usually outside of my price range. Then in late 2023, I came across another Hardtop Sedan, this time it was a Sixty Special. The acquisition price of this gem was just too low to pass on, so another '62 was added to my collection and with 2024, started my collecting year with even more style. 1962 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special Hardtop Sedan - CON 25R in Pompeian Red Later in 2024, Stamp Models announced the '62 Caddy in a hardtop format. The model was again offered in a couple of colors, two of which I added to my collection. This one, while one might think is somewhat bland and simple in appearance, in hand, the color is quite impressive, for me anyway. 1962 Cadillac Coupe de Ville Hardtop - STM-62602 in Olympic White And here we are in 2026, once again Stamp has offered a couple of Special Limited-Edition Series 62 Convertibles, with the '62 being my 2nd favorite style year for a 60s Cadillac, they were necessary, although I did try to resist as my collection is growing larger than I can handle (display wise) Here's a couple of photos of the two with way more to follow up soon. in Heather Poly, STM-62307 in Sage Green, STM-62306 Thanks for the time you spent with me and this post, I appreciate it. I hope you enjoyed taking a look back as much as I did, bringing it together.

I have always loved the '62 Cadillac.... best of its decade. The colors offered to date by Stamp/GLM have been awesome!

@chris Yes, I did mean the 1967. They say old age is not for the faint-hearted, but they said nothing about the leaking of the brain cells. I'll take one of each and now I have to go in search of another model. The list keep growing...
