[Closed] Pics. New Matrix's 1970 Cadillac Fleetwood Serie 75 is here very soon !

That looks very nice. I am wondering why the obsession with limousines, ambulances and hearses that some of these builders seem to have when they think "Cadillac"? I would certainly consider a good old 4dr sedan. Nice model, still.

Yep, a fine addition to the fleet of Caddies out there...

after your announcement I had to go look for myself and found this beauty as well.

Limos, Sedans or Coupes... I'll take them ALL ! 😉

I still hope for a 1976 limo and a few from the early sixties as well.

I am confident that we'll see some coupes or sedans from this era one day. The gap of those models is too important to be ignored. Same thing with Eldorados finally. If we look closer, except from the old manufacturers, NEO's 67, Spark's 59 or Premium X's 1976, there are not a lot of them.

Let's see what the future will bring.

Randall...

..you're right about the prevalence of limos and the like. The Chinese have a particular fondness for them, as they do Buick..which are also over represented. It would seem national preference is what drives the production of small replicas!

Interesting. Thanks for the info.

You make some good points Jean Philippe. American subjects are scarce in comparison to their counterparts from other parts of the World. I for one am happy to see more Cadillacs. I especially was happy when builders such as Victory, Elegance, Conquest and Brooklin offered them in a variety of body styles. I am hopeful that Neo, Matrix, TSM and others will start (or continue) this practice.

For that matter, I too would appreciate many more 1960's examples such as Dodge, Mercury and Oldsmobile, there being so few replicas in existence.

Discussion always welcome, Jean!

...You make some excellent points and perhaps I was unclear: For a company like GLM which is both Chinese owned and manufactured, there is an over representation of Cadillac limos. This could then represent the Chinese affinity for long wheelbase cars. That they produce them for overseas sales doesn't necessarily mean the production decision was based on a more local interest.

On a per production basis, things like limos and hearses, flower cars, do seem over represented as compared to the typical muscle and euro performance machines. Not a bad thing, mind you, just a detail worth noting.

I'd love to see the Coupe DeVille versions of these images, FWIW.

I must have some chinese blood in me...

...for this affinity of long wheelbases cars. 😉

And you have also a point Robert. Apart from cadillac models I have indeed absolutely no real knowledge about muscles car models in our beloved scale...
I know that there is more caddies around here that some other brands but of course, for me, it will never be enough !
I am so glad when a new Cadillac model is announced and, like Randall too, would love to see more Coupes or Sedans in the future.

From this serie of 1970 Cadillacs Matrix is doing, it would be easy to make a Coupe de Ville 1969 for example. Friends on french forums are also looking for these. Not too much changes here but something a bit different.

Like the love for Limos GLM have, and as it appears that more and more companies seems to concentrate their production into specific subjects, I do hope your wishes will be heard and the gaps for euro/muscle cars will be covered.

Regards.

Looks pretty good.

The door mirror placement is definitely wrong and we can hope they fix that. Less likely to be fixed is the A-pillar base where it meets the fender area. That is completely unlike the real car but probably a concession to small scale resin production. The color is appealing.
