- While externally this model looks to be quite accurate, the chassis is completely wrong. It appears they used the FWD chassis from a 1975-78 Eldorado for the master instead of the correct RWD chassis that all full size Cadillac models such as the Coupe DeVille featured through the mid 1980's. Also, the chassis on this model has a molded-in catalyst, inaccurate for a 1973 car. A catalyst was NOT used on any Cadillac before 1975.
great detail level. i'd love to collect stamp 1/43s if they didn't cost 100 dollars a piece
