1949 Cadillac Coupe de Ville Hardtop - Prototype - 1949 Autorama Show Car - Matrix Models, MX-50301-071, a LE #085 of 100
Here are some photos of the 1:1 I saw at a car show in 2013. This was the cars 1st public appearance since its debut in 1949.

Nice ! It is a sensational replica and I am also glad the original Motorama 1:1 has survived and is in such superb condition.

It was stored for decades but restored to original. Here is a link I posted a few months ago when I reviewed the model ........
