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 5th set...

69 70 72 CADDY DECADES TAIL
72 73 74 CADDY DECADES NOSE
72 73 74 CADDY DECADES TAIL
74 76 77 CADDY DECADES NOSE

Hi John,

Wonderful photo essay on Cadillac design.

It's interesting to see that the 1994 Deville looks larger than the 1993 Fleetwood Brougham, yet in real life, the Fleetwood was a much larger and more impressive car.

Well Done!

Alfred

AWESOME! I remember thinking many years ago how nice it would be to have every postwar Cadillac represented in scale. Of course, I dismissed the idea... "That will never happen."

Yet here we are!  (well, pretty close anyway 😀)
