![]() Today's car of the day is Topper Johnny Lightning's 1967 Cadillac Eldorado. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: Cadillac Eldorado ![]() The first Topper added to my collection, this was a RAOK from Mr. Stubbs way back when I first joined the diecast community. This remains one of my favorite representations of this vintage Eldorado in scale, but a newer, more accurate casting has been desperately needed in small scale for the past ten years. I'm shocked that with the muscle car craze no one has bothered with this one. Especially Hot Wheels since this was one of their own original Redlines. ![]()

Makes two of us! They did multiple Rivieras and the first generation Toronado (albeit Tom Lowe owned one at the time...) but no Eldorados. I think part of that was that Hot Wheels had an exclusive license with Cadillac around the turn of the century which resulted in this one being recast as the 'Custom L' in stead of the Eldorado. A generic version which was...well, hideous. |
