This is a 1953 Cadillac Eldorado, as done very inexpensively by Kinsmart. Here, on the cream/white one, I took off the top to make it into a convertible. I also have a black one with the hardtop, as shown in the last picture.

Hey Mike, as always, great photos! I took this liberty to honor Bruce Arnold’s creations with a few of his Cadillac’s I’ve had for years and just finished restoring them in his honor. Thanks

I'm surprised that other than BAM's '53 Eldorado, no other manufacturer has come forward with a high end UTD version of the '53 Eldorado. Vitesse, Kinsmart and Matchbox are the only others offering a '53 Eldo that I am aware. GLM/Stamp- are you listening??

@kenspear Well there's one more Ken, long out of production and poorly proportioned. Dinky No. 131.

Thanks ! Those are beautiful Cadillacs ..... most certainly the Standard of the World in 1953.

@kenspear Ken, I agree this would be a natural for GLM/Stamp to do.

@ed-davis Hard to say since it's so narrow. Around 1:48 like many other Dinky American cars of the 1950s I guess.
