Another recent release, this time from Stamp Models. Issued in March 2025, it is one of the latest from Stamp. Issued in three colors, Madeira Maroon, Black and this one in Pawnee Beige. This is my favorite of the three. A Limited Edition, #121 of 129. STM-42211

1942 Cadillac Series Sixty Special Sedan, body by Fleetwood.

Excellent pics! Very unusual color, Pawnee Beige, for 1942 - I LOVE it!

It looks really good in that period color.

I know some have complained about that incorrect up-sweep of the wings  on the hood goddess...   but of course, it's NOT a deal breaker.  Everything else looks RIGHT on this Cadillac - that SCREAMS "1940's!"    I like it very much.  😎 😎

You're right, the hood ornament should sweep up from the back "toward the sky" instead of the downward tilt that it has. It's definitely not a "deal breaker" for me either. This is an amazing model, and I hadn't even noticed the hood ornament until it was called out.

I got this one in black to carry out the formal nature of the car itself. All three colors look great on this model.

It's a beautiful model. Here's a look at all three colors.

Thanks John, all three are great colors. I did get all three of them and the other two are more formal in appearance. With so many great grays and greens available for 1942, one of those would have been another choice. Stamp seems to be in a in pattern of blacks and maroons for many of their Cadillac models.

About the hood ornament ....... I improved the overall stance by lifting it from the front but this is not significant. I have the 1942 67 Series and the ornament just sits as supposed to be. I will post pictures in the next few days.

So, it seems that Stamp just did an another CAD work for the 60S that is not standing right.

I like that they did this notch back sedan versus the six window fast back version.
