Introduced during Cadillac’s celebrated 1950s era of automotive excess, the 1956 Fleetwood Sixty Special was a statement of American luxury. Its long, elegant lines, distinctive tailfins, lavish appointments, and powerful V8 engine made it one of the era’s most prestigious automobiles.

Stamp captures this classic in a limited 1:43-scale edition finished in Persian green with a white top. It's limited to only 70 examples.

You can't go wrong with a classic Cadillac.  Nice model, RR.

I was so hoping they'd do a '56 in 1/24.  I do have the 1/24 '56 presidential limo. That's gorgeous Randy.💯🤑

One pink '56 is enough for me. With a white top, this is an LE of 20.

PINK?? You mean Mountain Laurel. I wouldn't be caught dead driving a "pink" Cadillac to high school! That's my story, and I'm sticking to it... 🤣

"PINK?     You mean Mountain Laurel."

Quite correct!    ML is the proper name for "pink."     In fact, many '59 Cad. owners who paint their cars pink choose this color - as Cadillac did NOT offer pink  in 1959.   But any "pink"  '59 Cadillac drives me crazy.   I sold my '59 CDV because it was Gotham God (yellow ) but YOU drove a "pink"  '56 SDV w/A/C in HS?

Gee willikers..... that took guts!    😬 😬 😬

🤣 🤣 🤣 Yeah, it wasn't exactly a chick magnet. Not even with the Sabre wheels and Mountain Laurel leather seats! The A/C "worked", and by that I mean it froze the necks of anyone sitting in the back seat in front of one of the vents. Waited all summer for the cold air to reach the front seat...never happened! Inexcusable for a $300 automobile! 😝

The color combo is nice but I wonder why Stamp made the decision to install Saber wheels instead of wheel covers. It looks a bit too much on a Sedan no matter they could have been an option.

Agreed - wheelcovers would've been better.
