This 1/43 replica was released many years ago by Soldido and models the automobile in a white over blue color combination. It is very nicely done and was quite inexpensive.

Nice pictures. Do you know where the background part of the picture is in the first photo?

Ed, in the first photo I believe the background image is one I took with my Pentax DLSR in San Diego, CA from Coronado looking across the harbor.

An older diecast model but still really nicely done and a fine addition to one's 1/43 collection at usually a quite low price. I picked up mine at one of the Countryside, IL diecast shows.

LOVE the way you incorporate the backgrounds into scene making the model look real!

Thanks ! I can't afford a real 1:1 '57 Cadillac Biarritz so I have to try and dream using a 1/43 model and trick photography, lol !

I’ve never seen this model in person. Always meant to find one, but when GLM/Stamp issued theirs in became unnecessary. It looks good though.

Intentional or not, you make a good point John.
"Back in the day" Solidos represented awesome value AND with GREATER fidelity. No offense to Brooklin and others, but let's face it - they were a bit chunky AND they cost considerably more. NO ONE (especially me! ) ever thought we'd eventually see the high level (and improving by the hour! ) of execution we've now come to expect in 1/43.
