I've always liked this model. It has been in my collection for nearly 35 years.

The name Silver Streak is new to me. Is this a specific model name for this car, which looks like a Cadillac to me.

I have that also, always been a favorite. A few years ago, I asked Claude (Elegance) to detail one.

It has a removable top.

The Silver Steak was a train. But this beautiful Caddy is as long as a locomotive - so it fits!
