Like all older Mini Marque 43 patterns, this latest '48 Cadillac Fleetwood (due out in June) appears clunky and awkward. Sure hope all the defects are corrected.

There is a far superior version of the '48 Fleetwood due out next month. It is made by Bruce Arnold Models of California. Bruce works for Cadillac Motor Division and reviews all Cadillac toys and models for the General Motors licensing department. If he doesn't like the product, GM won't license it.

He creates his models by hand and usually sells them on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2494&item=160108972563) . His stuff is very pricey ($250 - $1000). I only know one person who owns a BAM and they treat it like a Faberge egg.

Welcome to the 1/43 scale forum steadvalley! :wave:

I'll have to settle for the Cadillacs made by Brooklin. Those are very pricey Cadillacs made by Bruce Arnold! His Cadillac models are nice however.

Here's a pic of a 1958 Cadillac Fleetwood 75 Limousine from an old thread of mine. It's made by U.S.A. Models.
