The world's longest Cadillac, the American Dream.

[Jeffcad]

Hi guys !.

It's been a long time since I posted here. I was buzy trying to do the craziest project I had ever started, the one and only, the American Dream Cadillac. Ridiculous, useless and ugly for some, amazing and cool for others, this Cadillac leaves no one indifferent. About 40 years ago she came out of Jay Ohrberg's imagination, the father of a lot of famous TV and movie cars, as well as some world's record limousines. She had different sizes, colors and configurations during all these years and she became once again the longest Cadillac in the world, according to the Guinness book of records. After rusting in a parking lot for the last decade she was brought back to life and sits now in the Dezerland Park's hall in Florida. I grew up fascinated by this Cadillac, and decided to make a model of her. So this is the Amercian Dream, in the early stages of her life, when she was the "shortest" version of herself. ( I had to think of room's storage LOL ). I used the 1976 Eldorado from JoHan as a donor. All the rest is hand made. Hope you'll like her.

Salut Jean-Philippe!

Well, if this is 1/25, it must be at least 3 foot long? Just curious. Impressive, bravo!

Sooo cooooool!!! It would be perfect for the run between Dallas and Galveston - - - just one big long straight road!

What a wacky and wonderful subject for a model (and no small amount of hard work!) It turned out beautifully! Congrats on owning the world's longest scale model limousine!

Speechless ?

Now you hold the world’s record for the longest 1/25 scale Cadillac! 

What a unique build. Crazy and cool. I remember reading about it in the Guinness Book of World Records when I was young.

It's as cool as it is huge.

Just some 'how'd you do that'!!

[Slotto]

Ridiculous is the word for it. I love it. What would the actual 1:1 length be?

Now you MUST build the Worlds Shortest Cadillac!

Great looking build based on the concept that when too much just isn't enough. The detailing of all the unusual features along with the rear driver set up is all very believable.
