Just can’t get enough of black Cadillacs of the ‘50’s. The Daniel Schmitt & Co. has on their website as an offering for sale a prime example of a 1954 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special 4 door sedan. This car was purchased by Yellow Cab and Limousine out of Twin Falls, Idaho for transporting celebrities. It was used by Marilyn Monroe as her personal transportation during the filming of the movie “Bus Stop.” It was later used by Bing Crosby. Brooklin has issued a model of a ‘54 Cadillac of the same model. Here are some comparison pictures.

Very nice, David. I bet that model weighs a ton.

David; did you also get the driftwood beige and copper one of these? What a beauty it is. It would look great displayed beside the black one....or "ones" in your case as I recall you have several of them.

Even better than the Brooklin is this GLM 1956 Fleetwood I just received last week. Of course, it is a resin model with far more details and more important, it is black.
It remembers me of the Bruce Arnold 1953 60S of decades ago. This is the perfect companion to the GLM 1942 Series 67 I also have.

It is a very nice model for sure. The Burgundy version is nice as well.

I agree....the '56 Fleetwood done in burgundy is gorgeous; very elegant.

That car has been listed with Schmitt for a long time. Wonder why no buyers?

That's quite a fleet David!
