Stamp 1976 Cadillac Eldorado vs Stamp 1985 Eldorado .......

"In my opinion the 1985 Eldorado seems a bit too small.  I will try to post pictures of both soon."

"Too small you say?"    Well Rich, knowing you can be as "fastidious"  as I when it comes to detail, scale, fidelity, etc...   let me point out that a comparison between those two SHOULD be extreme.   

Many don't realize (although, no doubt you do ) that the largest America cars were not actually produced in the 1950's, as many believe, but rather in the 1970's - the '76 Eldo, of course, leads the way.  😉 😉 😉 

Carsized.com  does not have 1985 Eldos in their database, however, they do have 1985 Buick Rivieras - which, despite being based on the same GM C-platform, is slightly larger than the '85 Eldo.

Therefore....   if your scale comparison is more dramatic than this, then perhaps you have a legitimate gripe.    But, if not......      then it's fair to say Stamp did their homework. 

I await your critique with bated breath; it ought to be a good one!    😉 😉 😉 

The only way to tell is by putting the calipers to them. Stamp does not usually miss fidelity by much. Still, Richard has a good eye. It will be interesting to find out. 

@chris  Not to nitpick, my 1967 Cadillac Coupe de Ville was three inches longer than the 1971 Cadillac Eldorado.  Just sayin'...  😎

@gdh .... no, no...   that makes sense.  For 1971, Cadillac tooled an all new but smaller Eldorado, however, customers wanted "bigger."    Therefore, by 1978 that 2-gen Eldo had "grown up"  - considerably!  😬 😬 😬 😬

Here are both of them side by side..............

@nickies Awesome!    Looks about right to me; I'd say Stamp nailed it.    Congrats Rich, enjoy your Cadillacs!   😎 😀 😎 

PS
Terrific colors!
