[Closed] (PIC) 1958 Cadillac Fleetwood by Record

Hi Ralph, gorgeous car but...

It would be awesome if you could share bigger pictures with us, especially when your model looks absolutely fantastic and one of the best I've seen !. Too much of a good thing is never enough ! 😉

Those Record Cadillac models are now pretty rare, no matter the version, built or not. Record made a mistake with the sticker on the boxes. Names of the cars are sometimes mixed up. They called the Eldorado a "4 doors", which is impossible, except for the Eldorado Brougham of course. So a "Fleetwood" can't be a "de Ville". Not the same trim level at all. This Fleetwood is the Sixty Special ( 60S ), indeed so elegant.

I would love to see Matrix or GLM to give a fresh remake of that 1958 family. It's at least a start with the next to come Eldorado Biarritz convertible by GLM.

Here are a few of my Record.

This last model is the Eldorado Biarritz Convertible.
The "Seville" trim for Eldorados has started in 1956 to designate the 2 doors hard top model. It has stopped in 1960, to come back with only one version in 1961, the Biarritz Convertible.

Thanks Jean Philippe...

for the correct nomenclature for these cars. And you are right again with regard to the mis-naming of the box. My box says "Cadillac Eldorado 4 Portes 1958." Even I can recall from my college French class days that "portes" are doors. Madame Buchanan, who had a rather poor student in me otherwise, taught me that at least!!

I'll try to resize some of the photos I have of this Fleetwood and post them for you. Your Record Cadillacs are excellent models, but like you, I would like to see these elegant cars updated to modern modeling standards. Bon Jour!

For Jean Philippe...

and other Cadillac lovers. C'est magnifique, non? The car, that is, not my picture taking skills.

I only knew Record for some early 50s Pontiacs and Chevrolets

Very interesting, never knew they did these 58 Cadillacs as well. Are there any other record models?

WOAHHH !!! what a beauty ! and

Perfect picture skills and french as well !!!

😉

This is a gorgeous model. Love the colour too !
That Fleetwood is, with the Eldo Seville, one of the 2 Cadillacs from Record that I don't have. I really hope that our wishes will be heard.

GLM is on a good way !

Jean Philippe, did you upgrade the wheels on your ones with wheels from a Vitesse? They look much better that the stock ones from Record.

Thanks!

Alfred

Gorgeous Alfred ! what a beautiful find ! Paint and details are awesome.

You're right about the wheels.
I took some '59 Cadillacs Vitesse hubcaps cause they are sharing the same design in 1958 and 1959. ( for the 62 Series and DeVille Series ). A small detail though, the only difference is the circular center piece which is red in 1958. Have not done that yet on my models.

Ralph please email me oldsman41atyahoo.com

Ralph, look at my post above for Record Cadillac

Nice score, Alfred! I see you changed out the tires too - yellowwalls to whitewalls

Hello Shell. If you have a Coupe DeVille version for sale please let me know.

A beauty, Alfred. Love that deep metallic blue. It fits...

Done.
