Many of you will remember Vlad Sorokolat's Tootsie Toy 1906 Cadillac Osceola modification about 3 years ago and subsequently followed by his own 3D printed Cadillac Osceola offered to the public under VDM Models. At the time, I decided that I would attempt my own modification of a Tootsie Toy Cadillac Osceola. I have written a full description of the process that I followed under Model Related Handicrafts. Here is a photo of the finished product with 2 other pre WW1 models: a 1915 Detroit Electric and a Matchbox 1913 Cadillac. The 1913 Cadillac was also extensively modified with the hood cut out and a scratch built engine installed. The Cadillac Osceola has working side lamps.

I love this era, Ken. All three of these look really good. That engine on the Matchbox Cadillac is over the top.

And regarding early Cadillacs I got a few Americom 1918 Type 57 fire chief coupes and did some conversions. Civilian coupe, roadster, sedan, and touring car

@mikedetorrice I had a reply from him just the other day on Facebook.
BTW, here's his Osceola again.

@mg-harv I'd have to display this, propped up on one side w/scale ramps and a mirror underneath. All that chassis detail is really something. I love this little Cadillac.

Nice model range of the Brass Era Caddilacs. I'm very impressed of them.
Thank you very much for your work.
