This is a preproduction, early build of the new Cadillac V 16 Limo on display at the NB The NB Center for American Automotive Heritage. We'll show it in Chicago later this week. It will be on the brooklinmodels.com website soon!
The grille still needs some refining. But, take a look at how intricate that bumper is! Darren struggled mightily to get it cast accurately.
The standard release will be black. This one is a practice build and is a deep, dark blue
Even though this is an early build to ensure everything fits well, the detail is amazing.

This is too early to express an opinion if they get it right or not.
This is a prototype that seems far from production. The grille will need to be wider and get some crating texture. It will also be interesting to see how some chrome parts will come after plating. I am thinking more particularly about the 3 blades bumpers.

I have always been impressed by Brooklin's willingness to cover cars from so many decades!

Looks fantastic - too bad I won't be able to see it this weekend. Cadillacs from this era are always a treat.

Thanks John. Most here know my fondness for Brooklin models of cars of the thirties and their wonderful attention to details. This Cadillac will be a must have for me.

Looks very elegant, even in prototype form. 💯
