Cadillac Convertible
Posted by Wharf Rat on Friday, February 12, 2010 1:02 PM

Does any manufacturer make a 1950's or 1960's era Caddy convertible?  I'm more of an armor guy rather than cars but my daughter has been asking me to build her a pink Cadillac convertible and I can't seem to locate one anywhere.

You would think a big, finned Caddy ragtop would be popular, but we're both wrong! The closest I could find as a current release is a '57 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham.

There are OOP kits out there, AMT, Monogram and Revell all had Caddy ragtops for sale at one time or another. This site has some listed and the bids are still open. You can also try Ebay!

Happy hunting!

So long folks!

Several of these are on Ebay now.Also,Jo Han made a '64 or '65 convertible in 1/25,but it's rare and pricey when you find it.
