Very nice paint job on this Cadillac David. I also enjoyed the discussion about scale and enjoyed your comparative images with the Packard along with John's analysis.
I had heard years ago that most of the American cars in the series were approx. 1/50s scale, certainly smaller than 1/43. When these pewter models were created, exact scale was not as much of a concern as it is today.

@john-quilter Thanks, John. I based my conclusions on the small driver and yet he crowds at least half of the front seat. Before assembly, the rear seat would not hold two of my 1:43 seated figures. I agree with your "a bit undersized" statement. I still think it's a pretty good representation.
