Danbury Mint 1959 Cadillac Series 62 - Convertible

You may properly consider this to be a direct descendent of Danbury’s first fifty-nine Series 62 convertible Caddy issued way back in 1992 in Seminole Red. It is still most viable today so why not take advantage of the 50th anniversary year, 2009, to release it in the quintessentially classic Dover White? Adding to the elegance is the fabric-covered black up top and an interior matching turquoise boot; both fit amazingly well.

Once again, as a 50th anniversary rendition, we have a popularly-selling image, transformed with a traditional color scheme. It completely differentiates it from the original, and grants a nice alternative to those who may not have liked the former issue. It also makes a fabulous addition to those who have the original but also want the contrasting version for display purposes.

The highlights of the model are its faithfulness to overall image, internally hinged doors, operating suspension and pleasant color combo. But do not overlook the excellent panel fit and alignment of each part to the next. The cavernous trunk or hood, when raised, makes a great way to display the big auto. It shows off the nice detailing still evident today from the DM crew.

For the Caddy fans or those just enamored by fifties iron or finned mastery, ya got love it!
