dwc43 Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 I saw a rather poor looking die cast of it. That's all so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 The Franklin Mint makes (made?) a rather good looking one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodiak Island Modeler Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Quite some time back I saw a die cast Pink 55 or 56 Cadillac 4 door sedan. I think it was supposed to have something to do with Elvis Presley. That's the closest halfway decent model/toy that i've seen. I'm not sure whether it was a Fleetwood or standard DeVille.

Jon Cole Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Franklin Mint '55 Cadillac "Elvis" Unless something turns up in resin, this may be the only game in town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwc43 Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 The mint car looks nice as always,but I'm pretty sure the Elvis car was a convertible. I know the replica in the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville is a convertible. The real one is supposed to be on display at Graceland. I read somewhere that a restoration company was allowed to document it to make a replica of it so they could send it out on tours too.

Cato Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 This car looks very 'right' in proportion and stance. Just hate clunky hinges and 2-D interiors and engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Irwin Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 The first Elvis Cadillac was a 4 door bought for his mother, it was blue and he had it repainted pink. Elvis oned several Cadillacs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
