After launching his resin European-made Autopioneer line, German model maker Thorsten Sabrautzky introduced a more cost-conscious line of specialty vehicles called Brausi (his childhood nickname). I got introduced to him and his models when I bought the 1938 Horch 830BL Woody (Autopioneer) and the 1955 Cadillac Series 60 Die Valkyrie by Brooks Stevens (Brausi). Now, he has two more unique Brausi models available for about 100 euros each (plus some unfortunately hefty shipping - he'll ship multiple models for one flat fee, though).

1954 Cadillac Series 62 Pininfarina
Not sure which one is more garish! I'd have to go with the gold low-rider! 🤣
That series 62 is wild!

That '53 Elegante is not really a "low rider", it just suffers from improper build. Saw that one at a Cadillac show some time ago. Really very nice.
I have both on order. Hope the Elegante can be corrected to the proper ride height.
@lloyd-mecca As a discerning Cadillac connoisseur, I’d be interested in your thoughts on the ‘54.
