Large and In Charge

From the July / August 2010 issue of The Car Room Magazine

One of the most prestigious Cadillacs to ever hail from GM was also one the largest. Originally launched in 1949, the Coupe de Ville was the flagship of the Cadillac flotilla, sharing a platform with the rest of the Series 62s.

Wow. Wee

You’d do well to keep a magnifying loupe handy when considering either of Spark Models’ 1:87 Bentleys; one is a GT coupe, and the other a GTC convertible. Each stretches only to just over two inches in length, but the little resin babies both feature full interiors, slick paint, and amazing photo-etched grilles and markings.

C’mon, Get Happy

“Cute” isn’t a word we normally use around here, but when a box full of German maker BUB’s smallest models showed up, it was an involuntary reaction. These things are - lord help us - adorable, and the small size seemingly hasn’t kept this maker from casting a ton of detail into the models’ exteriors or finishing them off with lush paint and tamped-on graphics.
