[Closed] To Jack Dodds, regarding 1962 Cadillacs.( and a few other )

Thanks for this info. I was wondering if perhaps GLM may have the 60's era in planning already. Hard to say for sure but if I was a model producer I would focus on models I know for sure aren't likely going to be done by someone else in the near future. To date I would say Goldvarg is doing just that. Just my opinion of course.

i agree with you jack its tedious to see always the same models come back . we want models never built !

I don't know if GLM's planning some Cadillac from the sixties but

It's really hard to know for sure what a competitor isn't going to do.

One thing for sure is that, although there are a lot of Cadillac models to be reduce yet, it's very hard for some manufacturers to keep their ideas and developments secrets from other.

To avoid a manufacturer to copy another competitor and release a model first is I guess pretty impossible and so frustrating....

And this is directly involving the efforts of developing models in the first place, after studying if a particular model has good sales potential.

The scale model world looks rough for competition and copying.
So many collectors don't realize that, or just don't care.
The damaged of this is by far for the copied manufacturer.

But, LOL, with the list I've just made, they have ideas for decades !!! 😉

And yes, I 'd love to see Sergio Goldvarg teasing us with a never made Cadillac !
It could be my very first Goldvarg models to enter my collection.

(PICS) 1962 Cadillac...

Goldvarg Cadillac

Dear all,
Yes, I got the Cadillac License and I am working right now in two models from the sixties. I will show you some photos later.

Keep in mind that you have several "subject matter experts" here for technical assistance.

Dear Sergio, this is fantastic news !!! So happy !. Can't wait to see some proto !!!

Is it one Cadillac with 2 colours to choose from or 2 distinctive model/year ?

Dear, Sergio. This is wonderful news. With the exception of a '63 by Franklin Mint

Nothing has been issued for 1963-65. I think that you could issue 2-3 body styles (sedans, hardtops and a convertible) in three colours each and you will sell out based on the pent up demand. If you issued 1963 models, I would buy 3 Sedans, 2 hardtops and a convertible.....yes, I am enthused!

You may notice that I specifically excluded service vehicles. I know there is a demand for them but with the exception of a Brooklin, I do not collect them.

I think as you show, Lloyd, '62 is well covered.

Yes and no Randall. Conquest's have aged now, and too rare and expensive.

Apart of the latest versions of the Sedan DeVille 6 windows Hardtop from Conquest Madison with its extra details, the rest of the fleet have aged a little. Still beautiful indeed but the year 62 could also, in my opinion, receive a refresh with nowadays techniques and, more importantly, the perfect respect of proportions thanks to GM licences.

GLM's limo is overall beautiful too but still not without issues.
( absolutely wrong lower grilles in front bumper, incomprehensible exhaust in the middle of rear bumper...)

I have none of the Conquests. Too many deal breaker per model, including prices.
Better versions with more affordable prices would be welcome, don't you think ?

And even the Franklin's 63 Eldo could be refreshed as well.

completely agree with you jean

+1 I think the 62 Ht and Conv. need to be redone; preferably by Goldvarg. In time I also would like to see 63 to 65 done too. Personally I am not at all into limos, hearses, etc. Goldvarg's quality and price range deem them a much better deal IMO. Thanks Sergio, for considering 60's Cadillacs for production.

Agree, more refined and affordable would be nice. Still would like to see '63-65.
