MATCHBOX - CADILLAC SPECIAL - 4 of the best

The first of our Caddy's is a 1956 Cadillac El Dorado, in a fetching pale blue, this stunning little model with hideous lace wheels shows what can be achieved by those at Mattel, given the opportunity, this convertible is very highly detailed, for such a small scale model, and one that sits nicely in the display box.

Number 2, well, how could any Caddy collection NOT include this, the original casting was a hearse, but after so many people (probably two saddo's) complained, they adjusted the moulds to make it into an ambulance, and you know what, they NEVER made a Ghostbusters version, HOW could they NOT have made one of them, DUH!, the disc wheels really make this model look the part, even if it is sitting slightly higher than other versions.

Coming more up-to date, the Cadillac CTS Coupe, a really nice scale version in silver, shows how Cadillac has evolved over the years, with its modern sharp lines and weird headlight arrangement, that's copied at the rear (fold over onto the wing) it gives the Caddy a look only Caddy can get away with, the large grill, nicely filled in on this version, gives the front a purposeful look, along with the ten spoke doubles, matchbox and Cadillac will continue to have a good relationship (as long as they don't stop making licensed products which they look as thought they are head that way)

And this little stunner makes four, This Cadillac Sedan De Ville is a typical 1970's yank tank, a huge barge of a car, that would have enough metal in it to make three small European cars, but then the Americans are nothing but flamboyant, the 70's was also an era where all the cars looked the same,  but the Sedan De Ville had that, something, that made it stand out, like all caddy's have over its entire history.
