The original car was built in 1951 by the Barris brothers, Sam and George

This die cast model may be the most accurate die cast ever made.

and it does so much..

The vent windows open, and the spot lights pivot (necessary to open the hood)

The trunk is fully upholstered and includes a detailed spare tire.

Cadillac engine is fully detailed and most impressive are the hood hinges which aren't the huge posts seen on most die cast.

40 plus years later, this is pure perfection, and the die cast is flawless.
