dwc43 Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 Does anyone make a '55 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special ??
MyBradKeselowski Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 Not that I know of, unless it's in resin...
dwc43 Posted October 8, 2010 Author Posted October 8, 2010 I saw a rather poor looking die cast of it. That's all so far.
Junkman Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 The Franklin Mint makes (made?) a rather good looking one.

The Modeling Hermit Posted October 10, 2010 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.

dwc43 Posted October 10, 2010 Author 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.

Craig Irwin Posted October 10, 2010 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.
