My two Bruce Arnold Cadillacs. Brought down from the shelf for a cleaning and fresh photos.
The 1951 to 1953 are my favorite generation Cadillac.
The yellow Eldorado and a two-tone green Sixty Special:

(yes there's a hole in the Eldorado windshield)
Anyone know the backstory to his range? To me, some look like unique castings (the Cadillac Orleans concept) while others look like tarted-up examples from other ranges (the Studebaker).
Thanks for looking!

Both of these Cadillacs look superb ! The Cadillac Orleans also would be particularly cool to have.

Here is GLM's '51 Series 62 convertible for comparison.

There is some information on BAM in the 2013 History of Resin Transport Modelling
by David Wright, pp 93-95.

I believe the Sixty Special is also a 1953. The grill is definitely not a 51...look at the grill on Harve's 51 convertible. Secondly, the slits in the rear bumper for the exhaust was not available in 1951. I have the Sixty Special which I bought on the secondary market many years ago and have always thought that BAM models were overpriced.
