Short Take, EMC 1903 Cadillac Model A Service Vehicle

That looks superb ! It is certainly beautifully done by them in the Ukraine and makes an excellent addition to anyone's collection.

I didn't know that Cadillac had panel delivery vehicles and this replica definitely is an interesting model to have.

I seem to recall that there were a number (25?) of the 4-seater tonneau versions that didn't sell. The van body was made and models modified. Anyone else remember this? I have three 1903s.

...spectacular little gems, each and every one.  😎 😎 

yes they are superb, thanks gents for sharing the pics/video. I'll have to try and land one in Australia at a reasonable price

@geoff-jowett good luck on that quest. These were made in 2008-09 and are held onto tightly by collectors because they are so superb.

Thank you John and Harv. Wonderful models.

@mg-harv There are three for sale on Ebay for countless months for those with fat wallets.  While I admire the craftmanship that goes in these models, they are so small and fragile in 1/43 that they cannot be displayed without risk to damage something if remove from the base plate.

They are definitely not meant to be removed from their plinth. The first EMC I bought was one of B&G's Chrysler Imperial Roadsters. It had an instruction sheet warning not to touch the extremely delicate wire wheels. I have a friend who did, and the wheel was instantly damaged. This level of extreme detail in 1/43 necessitates fragility. They are museum quality and can be appreciated for their intricacy. Here's a picture of a wheel on that Roadster.

 And a few more of one of the 1903 Cadillacs.

One of the recent Bugattis

The Mercedes 500K

The Horch

Holy cow!   These are ALL amazing pics that truly surprise me.    1/43 at its best.... these occupy rarified air.  Only the tip-top, creme de La Creme replicas can rival what I see here.  I love those Cadillacs even more and see NOTHING out-of-scale on any of these.  That's true artistry & craftsmanship!

Yikes....   $1,300 - $1,700.   I didn't realize those details & trim are real gold!       😮 😲 🤑 

Some more EMCs. The silver M-B is (or was) owned by ex-F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone. The blue one is known as the Blue Goose and was Hermann Goering's. The army discovered it in the closing days of WW2 and General McCaffrey commandeered it. Note the 101st Airborne markings. This version I've seen for sale at 4 figures.

Definitely a high level of collecting. Love the detail but can I afford the cost?

thanks for all of those gents. Its all been said really. 

That 1940 Mercedes-Benz Typ 770 is more accurately and better detailed than my 1/18 scale version, I'm speechless.
