This is one of those models that I wanted since it was issued but never got around to actually acquiring one. Now a few years or so later, the model became hard to find and even harder for a good price. Then last fall, I found one and for a price very close to when issued. I was thrilled. The model arrived and it was perfect. 

A special 1 of 1 custom limousine built for the Duke & Duchess of Windsor, created by Harley Earl's Art & Colour Section at General Motors.

I learned of this model, the 1:1 and all the history behind it not too long ago.   I love this Cadillac; it's a fine model!  Great pics John, thanks.
