Always a favourite of mine. Will look good alongside Brooklin's 1954 60 Special when it appears later this year.

Not if the new Brooklin is in scale, methinks.
Although it is a lovely model on its own, I think putting the Motor City Cadillac next to other models will show that it is way over-wide. Several years ago I was gleeful to obtain one of the USA Model series because they were rather hard to get. When I placed it next to my other models I was very disappointed to find that it just didn't fit, in a big way - about 130 percent wider than comparable makes I figured. This remains my most disappointing experience with a Motor City USA product.

Randall, I agree with you regarding the MOC 55 Cadillacs being oversized. I have the Coupe DeVille and convertible and next to the MiniMarques they're quite large. I like the models but don't display them next to the Minimarque for that reason.

Very nice Denis.
I have the blue top/white body version (One of two?). The scaling issue doesn't bother me as long as the model is well done and everything is proportionate to each other on that specific model.
