I dont recall any Diecast ones, but i know they make the plastic resin kits for the 80-85 Fleewtood Coupes, with the 90-92 nose and mouldings. Im building one. :)

Yes, more info! I have a matching die cast for my 65 Impala convertible, as well as my 95 Impala SS. I know I will never get one of my 71 Pontiac, but to add the Fleetwood coupe would be nice! I have looked for a diecast, but had no luck. The only one I have found is a small 1:64 scale lowrider. I would prefer one that is 1:24, and not 90d (but would settle if needed...)

They also make that Fleetwood with a die-cast body, in fact it was released first. I have two of them. Then there's a Regan limo based on a '83. Plus of course the 1977-1979 Coupe Deville promos.

Now I just need to find that limo to combine it with the lowrider coupe! Presto: one non-90'd coupe!

<edit> Ben, do you know the manufacturer of the Regan Limo? It will help me to find it...

Jada makes a 1/24 Fleetwood Coupe but it's a horrible, it doesn't look right all over. The car looks too tall, (like a 300C) the front bumper goes all the way to the wheel housing, and the back plate is on the bumper. (WTF?!) It's just way off in a buncha places.......

Go to
www.collect-corner.net
They have a HUGE gallery of subjects ranging from buses and cars and subway models and varying scales, so you will have to hunt around but in one group, you'll find a fair bunch of decent Cadillac models from a 1947 Convertible, a Yellow Elvis convertible, some older classics, hearses, mob Cadillacs and a few newer ones as well.
Most of these are decently proportioned, at least from what I can see from the photographs.

I just went back there again.
To make your hunt easier, CHECK the
1/18 Scale Models
Box
It's the bottom left corner of the web site.

For 93-96 Fleetwoods, there was a resin model made by a company (since closed) American Models or something like that. The model was 1/24 scale and you needed a 1/24 caprice cop/taxi or a 1/24 SS model to complete the kit (wheels, tires, etc.).

If anyone is truly interested - I actually have two complete models (haven't gotten around to working on them).

For the 93-96 Fleetwood fans - there was a Resin Kit made by American Models (or something like that). It is 1/24 scale and needs a 1/24 caprice cop/taxi or SS model to complete. I have two that I have not been able to really put together (hey just like my real car - lol). If anyone is interested - let me know.
