Here is the latest addition to my 1934-1937 Cadillac fleet....... TSME 1934 Cadillac V16 Convertible Sedan. This is the perfect companion to the Matrix 1937 Coupe and Phaeton models.

And the Lincoln entry in this opulence and elegance market. The Model K and convertible sedan, both by Brooklin.  Powered by a 414 cubic inch side valve V12 with silent hydraulic lifters.   Coupes and convertible coupes also produced but all in low volume given their elevated prices.

Here are pictures of the Matrix 1937 Cadillac V16 Coupe and also the Sport Dual Cowl Phaeton. I am not aware of any other body styles done in resin for the 1934-37 Cadillac V16.

Not resin or white metal but there were some diecast 1938 V16 Cadillacs by Rextoy a number of years ago.  Large four door sedans and a coupe.

@john-quilter I don't collect metal models because they don't have details and most of the time they are crude and inaccurate. As for a 1938 Cadillac V16, this Town Sedan by GIM is hard to beat.

I am always quite happy with the diecast Rextoys Cadillacs (plus others).  Here are just two of the 1938 V-16 Cadillacs but there are many other versions shown in their flyer that came with each model.   They were great value at less than $30 each per my records.   A convertible sedan with top down,  a coupe,  a town car and two military versions. (Would the army have popped for the top of the line V16 cars?) and even a pink convertible coupe with chauffeur and Hollywood starlet.  In total there were 12 Cadillac versions pictured though I am not sure all were produced.   It is a shame Rextoy faded away as they showed a great series of 1935 V-12 Lincolns,  1936-37 Pierce Arrows, 1935 Auburns, 1937 Chevrolets, and 1938 Buick Centurys which apparently never came to production.

@nickies I believe a 1/43 resin version of the 1933 Chicago World Fair V16 was produced by Truescale Models - TSMCE164309, (listed as 1934, so a production copy). Riko did 1/78 and 1/16 .  And below I also include a very bad picture of the Rextoxs V16 mentioned by @john-quilter as a coupe.

Harley Earl's Art and Color Section of General Motors created the Aerodynamic Coupe 1933 Chicago World's Fair. Eight examples of the five-passenger coupes were produced between 1934 and 1937.

@charles-rockett You are right that True Scale made a 1/43 of the Aerodynamic Coupe and many others made larger scale. I remember the Rextoy models but I never bought them. Again, my only interest is detailed resin models.
