Fleetwood Sixty Special Sedan by Conquest Models of Holland,
CNQST #12;  Released in 1992, this model comes complete with imitation vinyl roof covering, photo etched front and rear grilles,
wiper blades, emblems, chrome moldings and full dash and door panel details. It is said to be slightly smaller than 1:43 scale.
However, enthusiast Volodymyr from Kiev in Ukraine reports [Nov. 2005] that the measurements are actually quite accurate;
he sent a slightly different view of the model (right), that I have cropped to give you as much toy car as possible

 

EMC MODELS [UKRAINE]
[Vladimir Soroklat]


Inspired by Cadillac's Eldorado Brougham project for 1959 and 1960, the Italian firm of Pinin Farina created the Cadillac Jacqueline, a "pushmobile", i.e. an engineless
show car that was exhibited first at the Paris Salon in 1961 and, later, at other European venues in 1961-62; sold in the 90s, the buyer decided to adapt and install the engineless body
on the chassis of a pre-owned Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz that had been retrofitted with a regular 1959 Cadillac power plant; this is how the finished automobile looked after 1996

    
(Left) Individual parts prior to assembly and paint; (right) the model parts shown with the "real thing" in the background


Vlad created the TWO versions of Jacqueline: the original
pushmobile, in white, and the (later) powered car in "gold"

    
Vlad made the engineless model  first; it was white (as seen here) with the stainless steel top;
be the time a motor had been installed, the car had been repainted "gold", as seen below

    

    


Nota:
The model of the 1/43-scale Cadillac Jacqueline coupe by Pinin Farina
is reviewed in issue #17 of THE DIECAST MAGAZINE

    
Three exclusive models from the same manufacturer in the Ukraine: 1937 V16 roadster by Hartmann, Switzerland (far left),
1961 Cadillac Jacqueline by Pinin Farina, Italy (in "gold") and Cadillac's first production car, the Model A runabout

Similar to the Western Models edition, these models are made by Scottsdale Classics (USA);
the color of the coupe is described as Heather Metallic [code #99] but in fact  it is closer to Siena Rose [code #98]. 
I should know; I owned the Seville in Heather and the Biarritz in Siena Rose ...back in the good old days  (photos below)

IMPORTANT NOTE: these true-to-scale model cars are built and assembled with the utmost patience and care;
production numbers are VERY limited (from 12 to a maximum of 250 units of each) it is quite possiblethat some
models illustrated may no longer be available and cannot be re-issued; in making up these RARE models, many
photo-etched, chrome-plated or black-plated parts are used, as are also the finest decals; carpets also are depicted

JO-HAN, USA

t60jowrp.jpg (5245 bytes)    t60jowrb.jpg (4688 bytes)
Jo-Han (USA) began making these 8½"  promotional models of Cadillac cars in 1958, under license to GM;
during the first five years of production, Jo-Han chose to depict Cadillac's upper end Series Sixty Special sedan;

above is shown the 1960 version (#2860); as will be clearly seen here, early plastics had a tendency to warp with age,
front and rear; fine surviving ones (like that in the next row) are expensive and hard to find


t60jo1.JPG (5179 bytes)    t60jo2.jpg (5011 bytes)
Now and again a collector may come across one in exceptional condition, like the one below, offered
for sale on the Internet, in April, 2001; this one has been disassembled and painted by an expert.  The color
is #99, Heather Poly, like our former 1960 Eldorado Seville (ours had a white Vicodec top)

MEMORY LANE, USA

t60cpML.jpg (13471 bytes)
Memory Lane Models are currently [2005] produced, hand cast plastic, hand assembled, 1/25th scale models similar to promotional models of the 50s and 60s. Finished in authentic factory colors with a high gloss base coat/clear coat paint, these are also less likely to warp than originals that were made withe early plastic acetates.  The base for this model seems to be Monogram's Eldorado Seville kit (as reflected in the rear grille design that features the Eldorado double row of "bullets". The chrome around the headlights is out of proportion. The interior is detailed.

From Gor'kovsky Avtomobilnyi Zavod (GAZ)  Gor'kii, in the former USSR comes this battery-operated, cable-controlled toy depicting

Tjp6160S.JPG (8225 bytes)
From Yonezawa, Japan,  come these nicely lithographed, tinplate toys depicting the 1960 Series 62, 6-window sedan;
they have ugly, oversized windshield wipers that operate when the toy's friction motor is activated; rear clip is from
1961; the version without wipers (the black one, two rows down) has a correct 1960 rear clip. Other parts of
these models look as if they were made from the same molds; a convertible version was also available;

Tyo60w6.jpg (8200 bytes)
Looking like a 1960 model   from this angle,   the rear clip is from 1961

Here are three similar toys in what appears to be the same scale; the two in the top row appears to be from 1960 (like the "windshield wiper" toy, above;
the one on the left was made in the former W. Germany under license to Yonezawa, Japan; I have no identification of the one on the right;
the toy immediately above looks the same, but it definitely has the 1961 rear clip [see "1961" section, below]

BANDAI, JAPAN

t60babx.JPG (8337 bytes)     t60BandaiRR.jpg (6171 bytes)
This is #781 from Bandai, Japan, in a long line of tinplate Cadillac toys of the late fifties and early sixties;
this is the first issue, 1960 Series 62 flat-top sedan, with the tinplate wheel covers (newer versions have "custom" plastic wheels)
and different tail-lights housings approximating those of the 1964 Cadillac models

t60ba1.jpg (7134 bytes)     t60ba2.jpg (6730 bytes)
From Bandai, Japan, again marked #781, comes this slightly different version; the side molding
on this one starts half-way down the front wheel opening [compare with previous toy]
both measure approx. 11½ long and are very realistic replicas.

t60ba3.jpg (8688 bytes)     t60ba4.jpg (7680 bytes)    
This more recent version sports the 1964 lookalike tail-light housings; it has the same
side molding as the earliest known version (two rows up); it too has got metal wheel caps;
the Bandai Ref. is #4069 [could the digits "69" indicate the build year "1969"?]

mytn60a.JPG (6047 bytes)
This one is from the author's former collection;
the rear license tag reads Cadillac, in script

Variation on the same theme; this one has an electric motor; the "shift lever" at the right puts the toy in motion, forwards or in reverse;
the other lever, at the left, has a "Neutral" position and two "Drive" positions ("Lo" and "Hi"); the toy features working horn and headlights

Yonezawa, JAPAN

T61yonam.jpg (10613 bytes)     ttinamb.jpg (6075 bytes)
The Japanese toy manufacturer, Yonezawa, is responsible for this imaginary 1961 Cadillac ambulance (above) and the more unlikely Fire Chief car (below).  The reason I use the term
 "imaginary" is that all Cadillac commercial vehicles built in 1961 had special, modified tail-light housings, with a single light pod instead of the dual units shown here;
this was due to the fact that the dual pods interfered with the operation of the rear door; the Fire Chief car is Ref. #456; the ambulance on the right (above) has German markings
and a blue dome light; these toys are
cable-controlled; they run forwards, backwards and the dome lights blinks; the ladder/platform of the fire truck slides out and raises
to the vertical position; in the ambulance version, an accident  victim on a stretcher pops out the back door !

NEW RAY, USA

Enthusiast, Taral Wayne wrote (in Ovtober, 2005) : There is an interesting toy company called New Ray, who has a fascinating line of 1/43 cars. These are mainly of three types -- contemporary models (up to at least 1994), 50's and 60's classics, and foreign sports cars. They produce three different Cadillac convertibles.  Foremost is the magnificient 1962 Caddy series 62. The proportions are good, and while there are no working features (such as opening doors), the interior detail is pretty good for the scale and are tricked out in two tone. Most of New Rays classic and modern cars are painted in three different colour schemes. The '59 Caddy comes in canary yellow (saddle & tan interior), metallic medium blue (tan and deep red interior), and I believe red. I have the yellow and metal blue in my collection.

Also from Japan, by the Bandai company, these lithographed tinplate toys depict the regular 1962 4-door sedan;
the Japanese toy manufacturers usually brought out a series of   "different"  toys using the
same basic body components; by omitting the roof, for example, they made an unlikely 4-door convertible,
or by adding PoliceFire Chief or Ambulance markings they created two or three more models
