And here my fleet of newer Eldorados:
Left row: 1971 AMR, 1973 TfC, 1973 TfC
Right row: 1985 EMC, 1969 CCC, 1971 AMR
On this picture, you can see, the EMC is perhaps a little bit underscaled (Or the AMR a bit overscaled?) But it fits with the CCC very good.
Now I'm waiting for the 1976 Eldorado from PermiumX. Its a long way from China to Europe...

Its a french modelmaker. See this website:
http://ccc.blogg.org/offset-0.html
They built mostly models from french cars in a very good quality. The Cadillac Eldorado was just available in kit form, mayby 10 or 15 years ago. Now obsolet.

Pic and more information - CCC Models
I believe Georges Pont is the man behind CCC Models. He has been producing replicas for many years and is the pattern maker and builder for Ray Paskiewicz Jr.'s Victory Models line of Buick, Cadillac, Packard, GMC, Studebaker, Nash, DeSoto, Victory, and even 1963 Chevrolet Impala.
CCC's subject matter now is mostly classic French cars although they have done some wonderful Rolls Royce, more common 1930-50's French street vehicles, and a variety of other subjects.
You will find their models which are resin-bodied, to be exquisite and delicate. They are available at Autofaremodels.com, Mafma, and other internet stores. Good luck!
Here's a CCC Panhard:

There is a connection between CCC and Heco
Not all of the CCC models are listed on the blog. Some of the models have been "reproduced" by Pradacar, and some appear to have actually been made by Mr.Colombet of Heco for CCC. I suppose the thing to do is contact Mr.Pont and get a list of everything that was issued under the CCC label. One of the CCC models I have in my collection is a Delahaye 175 with coachwork my Motto from the 1951 Carrera Panamericana race. It came as a white metal kit I built something like 20 years ago. Their quality was superb for the day.

Motto - there's a coachbuilder you don't hear much about
I saw a Motto-MG in Toronto in the late '70's, one of maybe 2 built.
