Vintage Hot Wheels Cadillac Seville Diecast

Now on the eBay: Classic, vintage hard-to-find 1980 Cadillac Seville. This version of the Seville had the love-it or hate-it bustle-back style.

Sure, the real car had some issues other than its styling - like that 8-6-4 cylinder engine.

I think the bustle-back style is pretty groovy.

Head over to eBay and see more photos. The Item Number is 170496528606. Thanks!

Classic Convertible Caddy

A classic convertible Cadillac. One could fit three, maybe four Nash Metropolitans in this car? Man, back in the day, American cars had style...and length...

Diecast of Boss Hogg's Cadillac!

Got this off of the eBay. This is a diecast of Boss Hogg's awesome Cadillac. The diecast still has the bull horns on the front!

Diecast of the 1976 Cadillac Coupe de Ville Convertible

The 1970s Cadillac Coupe de Ville Convertible was the last great hurrah of American land-yachts. It was longer than a modern Chevy Suburban. This detailed 1/43 scale diecast is white with red interior. The only thing missing from this toy is Boss Hogg's bullhorns hood ornament.

Jada Toys Caddie Fleetwood

This is an awesome diecast. Check out the sweet rear-mounted spare tire. Say hi to the new Homies figures, Wolfe (in the shades) and Japon.

Bustle-Back Cadillac Seville

The classic bustle-back Caddie Seville. Remember this car from the early Eighties? GM wanted a car that recalled the beautiful old Hooper designed Rolls Royces from the past and GM came up with...this. Call me crazy but I dig it.

Hot Wheels created an awesome diecast replica of this wacky car.

Homies B Boy and Payday showing off diecast Thunderbird and classic 80s Cadillac Coupe. The detail on the diecast 1986 Caddie Coupe is Jada Toys perfection.

Diecast 1955 Cadillac Fleetwood

My Diecast Car of the Day™ is this 1955 Cadillac. What's there to say? The car is a classic and Matchbox did a great job in capturing the essence of 1950s cool with this 1/43 scale diecast model.



The two-tone color is way cool. The front end is very detailed for such a small model. The rear fins are perfect.



How's about we all head down to Arnold's and listen to some Bill Haley and the Comets on the Jukebox? We can all walk around saying things like "AAAyyyyyy!!!" and "Sit on it!" and "Are you now or have you ever been a Communist?"

My Diecast Car of the Day™ – 1970s Cadillac Sedan De Ville

My Diecast Car of the Day™ is a true classic American luxury car, the 1970s Cadillac Sedan deVille.

The 1970s were truly the halcyon days of the American motorcar industry. Back then, delirious excess and over-indulgence were the way to go. The cars were huge, long, tacky, overweight, velour trimmed, and vinyl-topped gas guzzling behemoths of the road. The Cadillac or Lincoln hood alone was around six feet long.

Thanks to the oil crisis, environmental propaganda and the U.S. Government, American automakers were forced to make cars smaller, safer, and more fuel efficient, you know, to do things the way foreign companies did things. American car companies should have been allowed to create machines that Americans wanted and let the free market decide.

Take the old school 1970s Cadillac Sedan de Ville. What a machine. Damned thing is something like 225 inches long – a few inches longer than a modern Suburban! Okay, my car is a Matchbox 1/64th diecast replica and it's quite small, but it is to scale, dammit.

My Matchbox 1/64th scale diecast car is pretty nice. It is small, but the attention to detail is awesome. It looks great from every angle. The paint job is top-notch. The grille and bumper treatment is very well done. Even though this is a 1/64th scale car the details would look good on a larger diecast model.

The real Cadillac Sedan de Ville had huge seats and a vast, roomy interior: a pleasure dome of hedonistic excess – miles of grotty plastics and vinyl.

Back in the day American automakers offered just about every option thinkable. Want a Chartreuse colored velour interior with power adjustable armchairs? Got it. Want an AM/FM radio with a state-of the-art Quadraphonic 8 track (the iPod of its day)? It’s yours. How about thick pile Hunter Green shag carpeting? No problem.

All that for around $6000? Not a bad deal.

So, I salute you Cadillac Sedan de Ville. You served you country well. And Matchbox has created a swell 1/64th scale tribute to a fine American classic.
