1903 Cadillac

1903 Cadillac, 1/16 scale. Kit manufactured in 949  by Hudson Miniatures Old Timers, Scranton, Penna. It has plastic wheels and tires, soft and hard balsa wood, cardstock, steel wire, and cast lights and steering wheel. Flat brass wire was substituted for cardstock springs. Odds and ends from left over parts.

Real pretty Caddy, Bob! From what I understand, putting one of these together was one step above scratchbuilding.

Wait, 1949? Is that the oldest model on this website?

Really well done, especially considering what you started with.  Thanks for sharing.

Very, very, nice Brass era Caddy.

1949!? Wow. Nice job on a true collectors item. Luxurious for its time but getting in and out of the back seats couldn't have been too pretty.

That is excellent.  What did you do for paint to get it so shiny over paper or cardboard?

[Bobchayer]

Thanks for the comments. I used Futura floor polish applied with a Q-Tip.

Wow, that's amazing. So great to see a build of this vintage kit.
