ELEGANCE, FRANCE

An unlikely Physician's Ambulance, also from Elegance, France (#158F
[ This is not a regular production model ]

This is a 10-passenger limousine for King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia, ref. #147

Master craftsman, Claude Thibivilliers made this superb scale replica of Jay Ohrberg's
Longest Cadillac in the World (the original was painted red)

The ref. no. of the longest Cadillac is 1005. However, Claude names this model
"Stretch Limousine by Leo Weiser", not Jay Ohrberg.
The ref. no of the Cadillac station wagon is 9,
this was a special model for the Mini Mini shop in Paris.

Claude, who is CEO of Elegance models, in France,
made also this perfect replica of a Cadillac station wagon
conversion by Traditional Coach Works

IMPORTANT NOTE: these true-to-scale model cars are built and assembled with the utmost patience and care;
production numbers are VERY limited (from 12 to a maximum of 250 units of each) it is quite possible that some
models illustrated may no longer be available and cannot be re-issued; in making up these RARE models, many
photo-etched, chrome-plated or black-plated parts are used, as are also the finest decals; carpets also are depicted

NEW RAY (USA)

Enthusiast Taral Wayne wrote (in October, 2005): New Ray has a fascinating line of 1/43 cars. These are mainly of three types -- contemporary models (up to at least 1994), 50's and 60's classics, and foreign sports cars. They produce three different Cadillac convertibles, 1955, 1959 and 1976.   I have the 1976 Coupe de Ville in white and black, though I've switched the interiors, giving the white Caddy the cream interior, and the black one the red interior.   Since bodies and chassis are screwed together, swapping interiors is easily done.  

In all three Caddy models the proportions and detail are pretty good for 1/43, and the chrome parts all more than decent. Retailing for as low as $2.91 at Wal-Mart they're a bargain. I've seen them as high as $7.89 in some variety stores, though, proving that you need to know how to shop.

My friend Bernard Gervais of Paris, France, made these superb and unique scale-models from pieces of stiff card,  plastic
wheels and color photocopies from the years product catalog (for headlights, tail-lights, hood ornaments, nameplates, etc);
I believe his total production of these Cadillac models did not exceed ten units (all different); I was lucky to be be able
to acquire one of them [photos to come]; the one above depicts the 1980 Seville with the new, stylish bustle-back
