It appears to be a beautifully finished model but this particular car (1:1 and this replica) always reminded me, for some reason, of a l-o-n-g wheelbase (wb) 1965-66 AMC Rambler Ambassador. 🤔 🤨 🤨

Gotta agree, Chris. For a Pininfarina design, it is subdued.

I like it, and I have faint memories of seeing pictures of the 1/1 when it was first released for viewing. It was so conservative (yet massive) that it was not recognizable as a Cadillac of that era. This is one in which paint color choice would be important; either the gold or the white would create a distinctive yet different impression of this car, or so it seems to me. This is a model that I think I will take a pass on.

I was able to pick this up at the Countryside show. I agree with Chris' comments about it looking like a Rambler.

A beautiful model. I am not sure I was aware of this version from EMC (probably forgot) I do have the two versions that were done by Kess. Not sure how they compare, but I was pleased with them.
