1938 to 1994 - Cadillac: Decades of Design

First, a little behind the setup thoughts.  Since Cadillac is the most represented brand in my collection, and I have a lot of consecutive years, I thought it would be kind of cool to show the design changes from year-to-year.

So, I brought out some models from my Cadillac collection. Represented in these photos are 30+ models and nearly 60 years of styling change. I chose to feature a cross-section of models from various manufacturers and types, included are models in diecast, resin & white metal. 

The 3rd set...

56 57 58 CADDY DECADES NOSE
56 57 58 CADDY DECADES TAIL
58 59 60 CADDY DECADES NOSE
58 59 60 CADDY DECADES TAIL
60 61 62 CADDY DECADES NOSE

John,

Those are all gorgeous models but my preference is for the 1956 -'58, and the 1962 model years. Does anyone make a 1/43rd scale 1957 Eldorado Brougham? Now that is a special Cadillac.


Models = Miracles in miniature = Holding History in ones hand
Cheers and Happy Collecting,
Steve

Kess issued one in a couple of colors, I have one in Castile Maroon, no photos yet. Brooklin also did one as well in a couple of colors, an older release.
