Here is a great print adverisement for the enormous and stunning 1959 Cadillac. One could land their private plane on the hood, top or trunk and you may need a telephone to contact passengers in the back seat, which was about 1/4 mile away from the driver.
There was no mistaking this giant from any other automobile on the road. I am happy to have several models on this one, including a blue Maisto 1/18 convertible and a Precision Miniatures black limousine in 1/18 scale.

I would love to have a 1/24 image of a 1959 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special. Great ad btw.

Yep! The closest you can come is an original or reproduction 1/25 Jo-Han promo. A full-function 1/18 was planned by Precision Miniatures (promoted on their board ) but sadly they folded before any real progress could be made. 😔 😔 😔

some years back at the theatre I was managing we had an Elvis impersonator performing, and they drove around in a 59 Cadillac to promote the show. I got to sit in the front seat while it was driven to a prominent position at the front of the theatre. This massive great front bench seat. Coulda done the performance in the car!
