Pic: Nice day today: The new king arrived...
Yes, I think its the new king in my collection. I'm really happy about it.
A wonderful model in every respect. Some thiny and delicate details makes me speakless...
A big respect to Volodymyr and the crew from EMC. Incredible work.
And here, you see a delegation from my collection they welcome
the "Hartmann" (I hope without envy...):

Impressive pics.
I haven't decided yet that I need to get "The King," but this makes me think more seriously about it.
Your conversion of the Franklin Mint Eldorado to a Fleetwood still amazes me. It looks so right, and the color is perfect. Taking a barely acceptable model and making a gem like this is mastery.
Thanks once again for sharing pics of your Cadillacs!

Great collection, Christoph. Can you tell us about the light blue Eldorado?
05/02/2010 12:09 pm
Don't wait too long David. I just received mine Monday.

There aren't many left out there. I think Dominion Models may have one or two.

Bob Hooper snapped up the last from Vlad - that's where I got mine

Great pictures Christoph! Whence have you received your Hartmann?
05/02/2010 6:35 pm
Thanks John. The 68 Eldorado is from CCC. It cames out in 1997 just in kit form.
Its from resine, but whit a havey white metal base. One speciality I like was, the kit cames whit two different front treatments: One for a 1968 model, and one for 1969. Its not the same class as the Eldorado from Legendary, but a really nice model.

Thanks everybody for the kind comments. Volodymyr, I got mine this week from Bob Hooper. He has now the top up version on his site. They are beautiful also, but I like more the color from the top down model and I wan't miss the view on the wonderful craftet dasboard and this very thiny steering wheel...
Oh, and I like the absolutely perfect numberplate from the Swiss "Kanton" Vaduz. Even the stamps on it are perfect.
Keep up this outstanding work.

vaduz or vaud
I think vaduz is in Lichtenstein. I live in the next canton to vaud.
06/02/2010 12:36 am
Your right Tim. Its Vaud. Lichtenstein uses "FL".

Vaud of course (Pic)

The real Hartmann's Cadillac has made the trip from the USA to Europe and backwards. Your model has made the trip from the Europe to USA and has come back. History repeats itself 🙂
