LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: 1931 Cadillac Sport Phaeton. Opulence and Luxury, made car

[ismaelg]

Hello,

 The year was 1931.  The Empire State Building was finished and opened. The St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series in seven games.  Prohibition was still a thing.  But the Great Depression was strangling most on the world, hitting the US very hard. 

 The car industry was hit really hard by the Depression.  New car market crashed badly.   Dozens of car companies disappeared.  However, there was still a very small market for luxurious automobiles.  Cadillac was the top dog and was happy to cater to this  exclusive market with their V8, V12 and V16 engines powering the most luxurious engineering marvels of precision and craftsmanship.  A basic car like a Ford Model A was about $500 - $600.  The top of the line Cadillacs, were over $5,000 making them over ten times more expensive.

Here is my 1931 Cadillac Sport Phaeton.  For the sake of argument, let's pretend this is a V12 powered car.
Scalefinishes Butternut Yellow and British Racing Green.  Acrylics for the interior.
Can you guess what kit this is?  I'll give you a day or so before providing the details.  
































I hope you like it.

Thanks,
Ismael

Beautiful model!

I like and enjoy your presentation. The back story is entertaining, but I cannot guess as to the model’s maker.
